Private investor faced a crisis situation: after selling a large office property, the relinquished property closing was delayed by buyer financing issues, compressing the already tight 45-day identification and 180-day exchange timeline. With only 30 days remaining to identify and close on replacement properties, the investor risked substantial tax liability if the exchange failed. The assignment required rapid identification of suitable replacement properties, accelerated due diligence, and creative negotiation with sellers to accommodate compressed closing timelines.
