Yes, you can 1031 into a real estate syndication, but it is not as common as there is an added cost to take on 1031 funds from investors and added headaches. The most common way of structuring this is through what's referred to as a TIC (Tenancy-In-Common), where the 1031 investor is not a general or limited partner but an individual owner who owns a direct interest in the property through this TIC.
