Identification Rules
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.
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.
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.
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.

A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind replacement property. This powerful tax deferral strategy preserves equity for continued investment growth.
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.
A qualified intermediary (QI) is a neutral third party who holds the exchange proceeds between the sale of your relinquished property and the purchase of your replacement property. The QI ensures proper fund segregation and helps maintain IRS compliance throughout your exchange.
Most investment and business real estate qualifies for 1031 treatment, including multifamily, retail, industrial, office, land, and mixed-use properties. The key requirement is that both properties must be held for investment or business use—not personal residences.
We help identify replacement properties that meet your investment criteria, timeline, and tax deferral goals. Our team sources options across all asset classes and coordinates with brokers, lenders, and your advisors to ensure timely identification within the 45-day window.
Boot is taxable gain that occurs when you receive cash, reduce debt, or acquire property of lesser value in your exchange. We help structure exchanges to minimize or eliminate boot through proper debt replacement planning and equity reinvestment strategies.
Get Started
Property Sale & 1031 Exchange Planning
Whether the property is located in Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa or the replacement search extends beyond Phoenix, the exchange should be built around assets that fit the owner rather than a deadline-driven purchase.
A Phoenix owner leaving multifamily, apartment properties, and industrial may want less management, a different income profile, broader diversification, or continued control. The replacement brief should state those priorities before listings begin to compete for attention.
We help organize the Phoenix transaction, introduce the independent professionals the facts require, and keep open questions visible. The qualified intermediary, CPA, attorney, brokers, lenders, inspectors, and licensed securities professionals remain responsible for their regulated work.
For the Phoenix exchange, clarify ownership, use, basis questions, debt, expected equity, management goals, and the professionals already involved.
Confirm the qualified intermediary, closing instructions, calendar, lender needs, and a written brief for the Phoenix exchange.
Compare primary and backup candidates against the Phoenix exchange for diligence, financing, control, workload, risk, and ability to close.
Keep the Phoenix exchange team aligned on title, inspections, environmental review, insurance, entity documents, funding directions, and advisor questions.
Replacement options for a Phoenix exchange should be judged against the same acquisition brief. That keeps an available listing, long lease, or DST offering from being treated as suitable only because the 45-day clock is running.
| Decision | Direct Property | Net-Lease Property | DST Interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | The owner directs leasing, financing, improvements, and disposition. | The owner controls the real estate subject to the tenant and lease. | The sponsor controls the trust and the property. |
| Management | The owner or a hired manager operates the asset. | The lease assigns specified obligations to the tenant. | Professional management removes day-to-day landlord decisions. |
| Liquidity | Liquidity generally requires a property sale or refinance. | Liquidity depends on a future sale, refinance, tenant, and lease market. | Private-placement interests are generally illiquid and transfer-restricted. |
| Primary Review | Title, leases, condition, operations, market, financing, and closing feasibility. | Tenant, guaranty, lease terms, property condition, residual value, and reletting market. | Offering documents, sponsor, fees, conflicts, leverage, property risks, and suitability. |
Technical identification rules remain available, while these Phoenix resources lead with the sale, replacement search, professional coordination, and ownership decisions that usually come first.
The Phoenix owner’s guide helps prepare the information a qualified intermediary, CPA, attorney, lender, broker, or licensed securities professional may request before the transaction advances.
Educational coordination only. Tax and legal conclusions belong to the property owner’s CPA and counsel. Qualified-intermediary, brokerage, lending, and securities work must be handled by the appropriate independent professionals. DST interests are securities and require eligibility, availability, offering-document, fee, risk, and suitability review through appropriately licensed professionals.
