95% Rule

The 95% rule also allows real estate investors to identify an unlimited number of replacement properties for the property being relinquished. But unlike the 200% rule that puts a limit on the total value of the identified replacement properties, the 95% rule requires the investor to actually purchase 95% of the aggregate value of the replacement properties identified.

200% Rule

The 200% Rule allows the investor to identify an unlimited number of replacement properties, provided the combined total value of these properties does not exceed 200% of the value of the property being relinquished.

1031 Exchange Timeline

A 1031 Exchange transaction must be fully completed within 180 days of the initial investment property being sold.  First the investor desiring a 1031 Exchange must identify potential replacement properties within the first 45 days with the exchange being completed in 180 days, not 45 days plus 180 days. Estimate your own timeline.
