Multifamily Property Identification

Apartment building and multifamily property identification for 1031 exchanges.

Multifamily properties offer stable rental income and appreciation potential, making them popular choices for 1031 exchange replacement properties. Investors in Baltimore, MD must identify replacement properties within 45 calendar days of closing on their relinquished property, and multifamily assets provide diversified income streams and long-term value appreciation. We identify apartment buildings, townhome communities, and mixed-use residential assets that qualify for 1031 exchange treatment across all 50 states, including Baltimore, MD. Our identification process includes rent roll analysis, occupancy trends, and market positioning to ensure each property aligns with your investment goals. We coordinate with qualified intermediaries and qualified escrow agents to ensure identification letters meet IRS requirements. The 180-day closing deadline requires efficient timeline management, and multifamily properties often require more due diligence than other asset types, making timeline-focused coordination critical for success.
