Identification Rules

Three Paths for Compliant Replacement Identification

Every Phoenix exchange must follow one of the IRS-approved identification tests. Use this overview to confirm which path aligns with your portfolio and timeline.

Three Property Rule

Identify up to three replacement properties of any value. Close on one or more of them within 180 days.

When to use

Common when each candidate offers strong certainty of closing or when high-value assets exceed the 200 percent threshold.

Compliance focus

Provide legal descriptions for every property. Backup options must be clearly labeled in the identification letter.

200 Percent Rule

Identify any number of properties as long as the aggregate fair market value does not exceed 200 percent of the relinquished sale price.

When to use

Helpful when investors want multiple options across Phoenix, Tucson, or out-of-state markets while maintaining optionality.

Compliance focus

Track contract values and amendments. Update the intermediary immediately if price changes push the aggregate total above 200 percent.

95 Percent Rule

Identify any number of properties regardless of value and acquire at least 95 percent of the total identified value.

When to use

Reserved for portfolios with numerous assets or DST tranches where closing on nearly every property is practical.

Compliance focus

Maintain a portfolio dashboard with contract, inspection, and funding statuses. Missing the 95 percent threshold can void the exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions.

01. What is a single tenant NNN retail property?

A single tenant NNN (triple-net) retail property is a commercial real estate investment where one tenant leases the entire building and is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. The landlord collects rent without day-to-day management responsibilities, making it ideal for hands-off 1031 exchange investors.

02. Why choose NNN retail for a 1031 exchange?

NNN retail properties provide predictable cash flow, minimal management requirements, and credit tenants with long-term leases. They're ideal for 1031 exchange buyers who want simple, hands-off ownership while deferring capital gains taxes.

03. What are the 45 and 180 day deadlines?

The 45 day identification period begins the day the relinquished property closes and requires a written identification of replacement candidates delivered to the intermediary by midnight of day 45. The 180 day exchange period runs concurrently and ends on the 180th calendar day or the tax filing date, whichever comes first, unless an extension is properly filed.

04. Do you source properties nationwide?

Yes. We help 1031 exchange buyers find single tenant NNN retail properties across all 50 states. Our nationwide network includes convenience stores, QSR, pharmacy chains, and essential retail properties with credit tenants.

05. What is a sale leaseback?

A sale leaseback is when a company sells its property and immediately leases it back under a long-term NNN lease. This provides the seller with liquidity while maintaining operational control, and gives the buyer a credit tenant with predictable income.

06. What is zero cash flow in a ground lease?

Zero cash flow ground leases allow investors to defer taxes through a 1031 exchange while the ground lease payments offset other income, potentially resulting in minimal or zero taxable income. This strategy works for investors seeking tax deferral without current cash flow.
