Identification Rules

Replacement properties must be clearly identified in writing by day 45. The IRS allows two identification options and one 'exception':
 

  • The Three-Property Rule: Identify up to three properties, regardless of value.

  • The 200% Rule: Identify any number of properties, provided their total fair market value does not exceed 200% of the value of the relinquished property.  Example: If a property sells for $500,000, the investor may identify multiple properties totaling up to $1,000,000.

  • The 95% Exception: You may identify any number of properties of any value, as long as you acquire at least 95% of the total identified value within 180 days. This exception is rarely used.
