What identification rules apply to multifamily replacement properties?

We help Albuquerque, NM investors choose the right identification rule and properly identify multifamily properties.
What happens if I receive boot when acquiring multifamily replacement properties?
If Albuquerque, NM investors receive boot (cash or non-like-kind property) when acquiring multifamily replacement properties, that boot amount is taxable in the year of the exchange.
