Planning before or after

[Ash Patel]

In Feb of 2016, I would like to sell 1-3 commercial properties and 1031 them into 1 or more properties.  With only 45 days to identify the next prospects, do most people already have these lined up prior to their 1031 sale?  I know you have 180 days to close but that 45 day identification period seems tight.  

I guess in reality you have the 30-45 days from the time your sell contract is signed till close.  That buys you some time.  Again just curious if people have things inline before their sale.

Thanks - Ash
