It’s entirely possible to buy an investment property through a 1031 exchange, rent it to tenants for some time, and then move into the property yourself.
When can you move into a 1031 exchange property?
As long as you owned the property given up in the 1031 exchange for two years before the exchange, rented it for at least two weeks a year, and personally used the property less than 10% of the time it was rented, that half of the 1031 equation is satisfied. For the property you receive, the exact same rules apply.
