Luckily, having a pro on your team makes an otherwise daunting transaction much easier.You have to purchase a like-kind property, which just means you can't trade your current real estate for a vintage car or fine art.There are some timelines to adhere to:You need to formally identify up to three like-kind properties within 45 days of selling your current prop, which means you should be looking by the time you go to market.You need to close on the new property or properties (yes, you can buy more than one if the math works out) within 180 days of selling the current prop.You can identify more than three properties if you need more choices or are planning to exchange for multiple props (often an issue for people selling very valuable RE or reinvesting in cheaper markets) but there are some rules:You can identify as many as you like, as long as the total value of all of them does not exceed 200% of the value of your current prop.
