Identification Period - The first 45 days of your 180 day transaction timeline is called the Identification Period. After you close on your relinquished property you have 45 days to idenitfy potential replacement property(s). The IRS has three requirements to identify potential replacement property(s).
Identification Requirements
Three Property Rule - The Exchanger may identify three (3) properties of any value
200% Rule - The Exchanger may identify any number of properties if the total fair market value of what is identified does not exceed 200% of the sale price of the relinquished property; or
95% Rule - If the Exchanger identifies more properties than are permitted under the two rules above, the Exchanger must acquire 95% of what was identified.
