        "text": "If you identify more properties than allowed by the IRS rules (either the three-property rule or the 200% rule), your 1031 exchange will fail. This means that the entire capital gain from your relinquished property becomes immediately taxable. It's crucial to adhere strictly to these identification limits to preserve the tax-deferred status of your exchange. We emphasize the importance of careful planning and clear communication with your qualified intermediary and real estate agent to avoid this common mistake.",
