Rule status

  • Three-property rule

    Identify up to three properties of any value by day 45.

    Property count is within the three-property allowance.

  • 200% rule

    Identify any number of properties as long as total value ≤ 200% of what you sold.

    Total identified value is within 200% of relinquished property value.

  • 95% rule

    You can identify unlimited properties if you acquire ≥95% of their total value.

    Acquisition plan covers at least 95% of identified value.

IRS rules allow you to rely on whichever test you satisfy. Baltimore investors often pair three-property submissions with a back-up 200% analysis for multi-tenant assets.
