The purchase of the new property needs to be timed so that it can meet the 45 and 180 day deadlines for every property you want to put into it. 

In the latter scenario, you may even have a bit more negotiating power in terms of price, depending on how tight a deadline they're on and if there are other prospective buyers who can commit to the sale right away.

Hi everyone!For a 1031 exchange, I'm aware that you must identify a property within 45 days, and acquire the property within 180 days. My question is: are you only able to acquire properties in that 180 day period tha...

As the tax deadline was extended until 5/17, hopefully you had enough time to file your K1!

Update:Have been working with hiremyvirtualassistant.com (also known as mydailytask) and have not been pleased AT ALL.Tasks are arbitrarily processed, regardless of the deadline I set, and time estimates for work are triple what my former local VA was doing.I'm not discouraged from using a VA, but I cannot recommend this one.

What is the deadline you are giving yourself for getting the first property closed?

So if all has gone according to plan and none of the contingency deadlines have been missed - it is safe to assume that the earnest money is no longer in play at this point.

I just bought a triplex in Hawthorne, but ONLY because I was on a deadline with a 1031 exchange and there was nothing available in Torrance.

They have a deadline to sign and return the addendum or the increase is automatic.

Give them a deadline to decide and the lease should stipulate that you can do showings to avoid a vacancy.
