Both your old and new properties must qualify as investment or business use. If both properties pass this test, you can exchange nearly any type of real estate.
You have 45 days from the closing of your sale to list the properties you may want to buy. There are no exceptions to the deadline..
From the sale closing date, you have 180 days to close on the purchase of one or more properties from the 45-day list. Again, there are no exceptions to this deadline.
The IRS mandates that you use a QI to prepare the legal documents for your exchange. Because the QI must be independent, it cannot be your friend, employee, broker, or even your accountant or attorney. The QI also holds your money, so that you do not have access to it.
You must purchase and take title to your new property exactly as you held title to your old property.
To defer all of your capital gain tax, you must buy a property equal or higher in value than the one you sold. Also, you must reinvest all of the cash proceeds from your sale. The investor must always acquire the replacement property with equal or greater debt. If the exchanger does not acquire a replacement property with equal or greater amount of debt, the IRS deems it as reduction in debt and a benefit accruing to the exchanger, hence taxable.
The exception to this rule is that any decrease in debt of the replacement property(ies) be offset by adding equivalent cash to the replacement property purchase.
