The 45-Day Identification Window

A deadline investors should plan before closing

For a deferred exchange, replacement property generally must be identified within 45 days after transfer of the relinquished property. The identification must satisfy applicable written-identification rules. Because this period moves quickly, investors often begin replacement-property research, financing conversations and advisor coordination before the sale closes.
