What Is Exchange Period In SFR Investing?

The exchange period is the 180-day window to complete acquisition of replacement property in a 1031 exchange.

The Exchange Period spans 180 calendar days from the first property transfer or the exchangor’s tax return due date (whichever arrives first). A 45-day identification period precedes this window, requiring exchangors to designate replacement properties within that earlier timeframe before acquisition must commence.
