The 200% rule is an alternative 1031 identification rule allowing unlimited number of replacement properties identified, as long as total combined value does not exceed 200% of the relinquished property's sale price.
Used when exchangers want to cast a wider net of candidate properties. Total fair market value of all identified properties cannot exceed 200% of the relinquished sale price. Useful when each candidate is much smaller than the sale.
For LA multifamily 1031 exchangers considering DST partial-interest replacements or multiple smaller properties, the 200% rule provides more flexibility than the three-property rule. Less common in single-replacement scenarios.
