The 1031 exchange deadlines, exactly
A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains tax by rolling the proceeds of one investment property into another like-kind property. The IRS gives you two strict, non-negotiable deadlines that both start the day your sale closes:
- 45 days to formally identify your replacement property or properties, in writing.
- 180 days to close on the replacement. The 180 days runs from the same start date, not from the 45-day mark.
Why gas stations are a popular replacement property
A gas station or C-store on an absolute triple-net (NNN) lease with a 15 to 20 year term is a favorite 1031 target. The tenant handles taxes, insurance, and maintenance, so it is low-management passive income with built-in rent escalations. Watch out for non-like-kind personal property in the deal (racks, ATMs, ice machines). See our 1031 replacement property guide and NNN investing guide.
