Sounds like an exciting move, Cal! Doing a 1031 into a fourplex out of state is definitely doable, it just comes down to having the right support around you.

The key pieces are usually a solid agent or broker familiar with 1031 timelines, a local property manager who knows the area well, and a contractor or inspector you can trust. A good 1031 accommodator can also help keep everything on track from a timeline and paperwork standpoint.

Take it step by step, ask a lot of questions, and lean on experienced folks where you can. You’re on the right path, Cal! Happy to keep the convo going and always down to share thoughts.
