To get ready for filing an exchange, it's crucial to identify potential relinquished/acquired properties as early as possible. Once you've identified these properties, you're restricted to relinquishing and acquiring from that specific list. It's not advisable to change the identified properties mid-exchange. Once a property sale closes and the exchange has been submitted, altering the identified properties is not feasible. A successful 1031 strategy involves early and intentional identification of properties.
