Curious how long we have to hold it as a rental before we can use it in a 1031 exchange.

I would:1. lend funds to the company to do the improvements, 2. pay myself interest on the loan, 3. increase the rents,4. and then, once you have increased the value, either 1031 exchange or refinance.

In August we are going to do a 10% increase to all units with the exception of tenant that takes care of the landscaping in exchange for his continued services.In January we are going to do another 10% increase across the board.

I am looking for an accountant that specializes in rentals and 1031 exchanges.

Has anyone Combined a Cost Segregation Report and a 1031 Exchange? 

The problem is, if we do 1031 exchange, we cannot use any of the profits towards rehab costs. 

@Theresa HarrisNo there was no money exchanged at all from what I know.

Networks could be: local builders exchange, local and regional homebuilders association, search on websites for NAHB, NMHC, ULI, attend real estate meet-ups, attend real estate conferences. 

@Tyler Roberts sure here's a piece of guidance; be more specific, take more action, offer more value.Figure out what are of real estate you want to be involved in, find people operating in that space that you admire and would like to learn from, and figure out what unique value you can bring to them and offer than in exchange for guidance / mentorship.Your post is very vague and you probably won't get many investors jumping into your DMs to help you out based on this alone.

I eventually want to sell them both and do a 1031 exchange for a larger multifamily, but not there yet.
