Is it possible to sell rental using 1031 exchange and buy new property for personal residence ,I had lived in previous property for 2 years and then rented it out for last 10 yrs.

There are costs associated with doing a HELOC.If you WILL be living in the property for the first year, get a 5% down, or less, FHA/Conventional/203(k) loan for the purchase and keep more of your money in your pocket for future purchases, repairs, etc...On the second property, use a private lender to fund the acquisition/repair costs if any, and refi out using a DSCR in 3-6 months.
