NNN Replacement Property Identification
A Section 1031 exchange defers, and does not eliminate, capital gains and depreciation recapture tax on the sale of qualifying real property, and the replacement property identification step is where most San Diego, CA exchanges succeed or stall. We track active and off market single tenant net lease deals nationwide and organize each candidate by lease term, rent coverage ratio, tenant credit quality, and remaining option periods so you can compare offerings on equal footing. Because California generally taxes capital gains as ordinary income at the state level in addition to federal tax, San Diego, CA sellers carrying substantial appreciation often have the most to protect if the identification window closes without a workable list in hand. We build shortlists that respect the identification rule you are using, whether that is the three property rule, the two hundred percent rule, or the ninety five percent rule, and every candidate references the replacement value needed to avoid taxable boot from a downgrade in purchase price or debt. Every list we prepare cites current San Diego, CA lease comparables and cap rate context so out of state opportunities can be weighed against local benchmarks, and we flag zoning, lease assignment, and estoppel issues before they threaten your forty five day timeline.
Same day NNN shortlists sized to your equity amount, with backups tracked through day forty five so a single fallout does not cost you the exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about nnn replacement property identification in San Diego
How do you tailor NNN lists to my exchange?+
We gather debt payoff, equity, and target rent coverage during intake, then cross match those figures against active and shadow single tenant inventory tracked from San Diego, CA. Every candidate is checked against the replacement value your exchange needs to avoid boot, since taking on less debt or less value than the relinquished property typically triggers a partial tax bill even though the exchange remains valid.
Do you cover coastal and inland metros?+
Yes, San Diego, CA investors receive candidates from primary, secondary, and tertiary metros nationwide so you can blend yield and credit strength. Coastal San Diego, CA pricing runs tighter on cap rate than many inland or Sun Belt markets, and we generally show both so you can decide whether to trade yield for market depth or the reverse.
Can you keep me on pace for the forty five day deadline?+
We timestamp every property drop, flag assets that are ready to tour immediately, and maintain a shared tracker so your San Diego, CA exchange stays inside the Internal Revenue Service window. The forty five days run on calendar days with no extension for weekends, holidays, or slow escrow response, so we generally recommend starting the search before the relinquished property even closes.
What happens if my preferred property falls through?+
Property identified within the forty five days can generally be revoked and replaced in writing before the deadline expires, which is why we keep two or three backup candidates active on every San Diego, CA shortlist. Once the forty five days lapse the identification list is generally locked, so backups need to be qualified in advance rather than sourced after a fallout.
Do you coordinate directly with my Qualified Intermediary?+
Yes, we share draft identification language, property addresses, and legal descriptions with your Qualified Intermediary so the written notice meets Internal Revenue Service requirements. We are not a Qualified Intermediary ourselves and do not hold exchange funds; we focus on sourcing and coordination for San Diego, CA investors.
Are DST or TIC interests included on the shortlist?+
When a San Diego, CA investor wants a passive alternative, we can include Delaware Statutory Trust or tenant in common interests alongside fee simple candidates. A DST or TIC interest may be a security. We do not sell securities. We provide introductions to licensed providers only, and any allocation decision should be made with your own advisor.
