1031 Exchange -Back to the Basics

by

1031 Exchanges are once again an important strategic investment tool for many investors and businesses as the real estate investment market’s momentum continues to escalate. Following are key review points when considering a 1031 tax-deferred Exchange:

  1. 1031 Exchanges are used to defer taxes on investment real estate and personal property. Some personal property examples are business equipment, farm machinery, franchise rights, corporate jets, livestock, boats, trucks, fleets of autos, buses, race horses, artwork, collectibles, musical instruments, and distribution routes.
  2. 1031 Exchanges simply defer taxes. Section 1031 is not a tax loop hole or tax avoidance, but sound tax code that has been used for almost a century to promote the US economy.
  3. 1031 Exchanges allow taxpayers to defer capital gains tax, depreciation recapture tax, and the investment income tax imposed by the Affordable Health Care Act, and state tax.
  4.  To completely defer payment of any capital gains taxes, taxpayers need to purchase new property with a value equal to or greater than the property that is being sold. In some cases the taxpayer may purchase a property of lesser value and still defer a significant amount of tax.
  5. 1031 Exchanges follow strict time limits. Once the Relinquished property is sold, generally speaking, taxpayers have a total of 180 days to purchase Replacement property. The taxpayer must identify the new property(ies) that they will purchase within the first 45 days of the 180 days.
  6. Exchanges between related parties are allowed but specific rules must be followed.
  7. Taxpayers must utilize the services of a Qualified Intermediary (QI), such as IPX1031®, when participating in a 1031 tax-deferred Exchange. The QI provides guidance, documentation and secures the taxpayer’s funds between the sale and purchase of properties.
  8. QIs are not regulated by the Federal government and most State governments. Therefore, it is up to taxpayers to ascertain the competency and safety of their chosen QI. Questions that taxpayers should ask include:
    • Who owns the 1031 QI and how financially stable are the owners?
    • What criteria does the 1031 QI use to pick its depository banks?
    • Does the QI have a Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions insurance and a Corporate Guaranty?
  9. There are many non-tax reasons to exchange. 1031 Exchanges can be used as an estate planning tool, to diversify or consolidate portfolios, to increase cash flow, to set a new depreciation schedule or to exchange out of fully amortized properties.
  10. Taxpayers should always seek tax advice from their financial planner, tax attorney or CPA for their specific tax and investment goals and situation.

Triple Net (NNN) Investment

Today’s real estate investor has changed focus from active management of their real estate investments to a more passive position offering them a potentially  attractive rate of return with ‘hassle-free  management’.  One form of this type of investment is the Triple Net Lease property as it is known or ‘the NNN net’.  These are real estate properties that are owned by the investor/ landlord with the Tenant being responsible for any and all expenses referencing the property from the real estate taxes to any property maintenance or repairs.

Tripe Net leases have become desirable for a real estate investment portfolio.   These are typically long-term leases with a long-term tenant (often an international public traded corporation).  The corporate tenant may often be names such as Walgreens, CVS, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, or AT&T, to name a few.  NNN lease properties are not only retail in nature; industrial, office or medical properties are also desired long-term lease NNN properties. The Lessee (tenant) is paying a rental fee plus any insurance, taxes, and any other costs associated with the property.                                58028321

These properties have the potential to provide the investor with the steady income and desirable rate of return on their investments along with ownership.  As with all investments, each property should be analyzed by reviewing the lease agreements, property location and conditions, and credit rating of the tenant.

These products may be available through real estate professionals or advisors who specialize in that area of the real estate market.

Triple net properties are also ideally positioned to meet the needs of buyers and sellers for the 1031 exchange process.   For additional information you may refer to the resource informational pages on 1031 exchange and Triple NNN Effect.

“Traditionally there have been 3 classes of assets one could hold… stocks, bonds and cash. “Today, with the prevalence of new real estate investment alternatives, real estate is often considered the ‘fourth asset class of an investment portfolio’. Real estate may have different forms of ownership and investment product types."

Investing has risks; performance is not guaranteed. No offer to buy or sell securities is being made. Such offers may only be to qualified accredited investors via private placement memorandum. Neither GPC nor Vista Properties and Investments LLC are tax advisors. Prospective strategies and products used in any tax advantaged investment planning should be reviewed independently with your tax and legal advisors. Investments are not guaranteed or FDIC insured and risks may include but are not limited to complete loss of principal investment. Risks detailed in a private placement memorandum should be carefully reviewed, understood and considered before investment. Changes in the tax code and other regulatory revisions could have a negative impact upon strategies developed and recommendations made. Risk Disclosure: Alternative investment products, including real estate investments, notes & debentures, hedge funds and private equity, involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail commodity trading, which involves substantial risk of loss.
