1031 Exchange Rules require property investors to identify like kind
income properties for replacement within 45 days of the close of escrow on the relinquished income property. Furthermore, all replacement
income properties must be acquired within 180 days of close on the relinquished income property. All 1031 exchanges must comply with one of the follow three rules:
The Three-Income Property Rule - This rule allows the exchanger to identify up to, but no more than 3 potential income properties as qualified replacement income properties within the allotted time frame.
The 200% Rule - States that, in the event that three or more replacement income properties are used, their total market value must not exceed 200% of the value of the income property that is being relinquished.
The 95% Exception - Finally, in the case that rules 1 and 2 do not apply, the aggregate value of the like kind income properties must account for at least 95% of the value of the income property being sold in order for the exchange to qualify.
