How long after a 1031 exchange can you sell?
Specifically, you have 45 days from the date you relinquish your asset to find a “like-kind” replacement. And, you have 180 days from the date you relinquish Real Estate A to close on that replacement Real Estate B. These timelines are chiseled in IRS stone, with no exceptions.
