Considering First 1031 (Looking for financing options)

[Mike Smith]

Hi, I have a paid of rental and I'd like to do a 1031 exchange. Any mortgage that I've had in the past has been through a bank. I'm interested in knowing what options there are for alternative financing (stay away from $5,000 closing costs, ridiculous fees). Yes I'm reading but I'm looking for any real world experience input.  Thanks in advance!
