The Three Identification Rules

The three-property rule, the 200% rule, and the 95% exception.

Three-property rule

Identify up to three properties of any value. The most commonly used option.

200% rule

Identify any number of properties as long as their combined fair market value does not exceed 200% of the value of what you sold.

95% exception

If you exceed both limits, you must acquire at least 95% of the total value you identified. In practice, this is rarely workable.
