1031 exchange into Business

[Jared Crouch]

I apologize if this question has already been asked. Can you use a 1031 exchange to sell a rental property and purchase a business? 

A little background, I am in investor in Austin TX with with Duplex/SFH's and want to explore my options.

Thank you in advance.

No, you cannot as it is not considered like kind.
