What is the best way to perform a 1031 in this market?

[Mindy Jensen]

Another post about not being able to find a property with only 10 days left in a 1031 prompts this question.

In this current market, what is the best way to perform a 1031 Exchange successfully? Do you sell and hope you can find something else in the allotted time? Do you hold off listing your property until you find something first? Do you continue to hold and wait for a market change?

What steps can you take to give yourself the most chance for a successful Exchange?
