Key requirements include using a qualified intermediary, identifying replacement properties within set timelines, and avoiding taxable boot through careful planning.

Core elements include like-kind property, a qualified intermediary, strict identification timelines, and a reverse flow option if allowed. The process involves sale proceeds going to the intermediary, identifying replacement property, and completing the exchange within the IRS deadlines.
