1031 Exchange Timeline
DAY 1: Sale of relinquished property • Identification period starts
DAY 45: 45 Day Rule = Exchanger has 45 days to identify potential replacement properties and report them to their qualified intermediary.
DAY 180: The exchange must be completed no later than 180 days after the sale of the relinquished property. This is the last day to purchase one or more of the replacement properties previously identified.
*Remember : These are calendar days, not business days.
Ways to Identify Replacement Property
1. Three Property Rule: Identify 3 replacement properties, regardless of their fair market value.
2. 200% Rule: Identify any number of replacement properties, as long as the total fair market value of them does not exceed 200% of the FMV of all the relinquished properties as of the initial transfer date.
3. 95% Rules: Identify any number of replacement properties at any value. The catch: if you select this identification method, you must acquire properties with a combined fair market value of at least 95% of the total value of all properties identified.
