How long do you have to reinvest proceeds from a home sale?

You generally have 45 days to identify potential replacement properties and 180 days to complete the purchase if you're utilizing a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains tax on a home sale. However, if you are not using a 1031 exchange, there is no specific timeframe to reinvest proceeds, but it's advisable to reinvest as soon as possible to maximize investment potential. Always consult a tax professional for personalized advice based on your situation.
