Reverse exchanges may be possible for experienced well capitalized investors but for most, I would say it’s not really a practical option.Mike’s suggestions of being prepared and proactive is a good one.I encourage 1031 investors to start looking ASAP - get to know the market - identify potential buys - and start making offers - before one has sold their existing property.The issue becomes will a seller especially in a strong market accept your offer “contingent upon the sale of your property”?
