Real Life Example Of Why You Should Identify A TIC Property
Bobby, 71 years who has been recently widowed, and finally sells her duplex rental she has owned for 15 years for $500,000. Bobby is now met with a steep capital gains tax along with depreciation recapture taxes. A friend of hers recommended that she entertain an 1031 exchange and purchase a TIC Property. Her CPA gave her instructions and referred her to a Qualified Intermediary who acts as the escrow agent to carry out the 1031 exchange. She was instructed by her CPA that the QI cannot be a regular agent such as her lawyer, accountant or real estate broker.
At the closing of her duplex, the funds from the duplex go straight into the escrow account of the Qualified Intermediary, where Bobby now has only 45 days to find a replacement TIC Property. Bobby is permitted to identify up to three properties and 180 days to close on the deal. Her first choice she decided to identify a 20,000 square foot warehouse leased out to a local distributer at a 9.5 cap. Her second choice was a 5,000 square foot office building leased to a national tenant and for the third alternative she identified a class “A” power retail center anchored by Airplane! move Last Exit movie download Target and Super Wal-Mart located in Orlando Florida being sold as a TIC Property.
Now that Bobby has all three properties under contract she begins her due diligence. Over the next week Bobby starts her due diligence on her identified properties. She learns that the warehouse operator has only been in business for 2 ½ years with weak financials, so she eliminates that property.
Upon reviewing the lease carefully, her attorney informs her the tenant has an out clause after every 12 months with only a small penalty to pay. She decides not to pursue this one. Which leaves her with the potential TIC Property. If this doesn’t pan out, she’s going to be forced to pay the 1031 capital gains tax.
The TIC Property is only 1 year old with no structural problems. Even though Bobby lives in Texas, since there are no management responsibilities on her end, the fact that the property is located in Orlando doesn’t bother her. In fact, she figures every couple years she’ll just plan a vacation in Orlando and check how her TIC Property is holding up.
1031 TIC Properties often close quickly and even though Bobby had up to 180 days to close and complete her 1031 tax exchange, she finalized this trade in three weeks! Now Bobby is a proud co-owner along with 23 other investors in one of the most upscale shopping centers in Orlando and has successfully satisfied her 1031 exchange by purchasing a quality TIC Property.
