Quote from @Bill B.: 1) Make sure you understand you don’t have 45 days and then 180 days, you have 45 days, and then 135 days, 180 TOTAL days, unless that’s a holiday/sunday, then you have less than 180 total days. 2) Yes, you can do everything but close on any of the 3 replacement properties before you sell your existing property.
