1031 Exchanges Help Owners Grow Business & Plan Exit Strategy

Most investors realize that 1031 tax-deferred exchanges provide a great vehicle to accomplish their short and long-term investment objectives.  However, exchanges also create a vast array of opportunities to help business owners grow their business and preserve their wealth.  Following are a number of often overlooked ways business owners can benefit from a 1031 tax-deferred exchange:

 

Relocation or Expansion

Better Location

  • Relocate to a new location that makes it easier to serve their customers.  Whether it is a better designed property or closer to infrastructures that improve delivery, a 1031 exchange can help. 
  •  When relocating, it often makes sense to sell rather than move many of the personal property assets and acquire new assets in the new location.  This could include equipment, vehicles, client lists and even livestock if it happens to be a farmer relocating his farm.

Tax Incentives

  • Take advantage of tax incentives and abatements to relocate to a state or local opportunity zone.
  • When acquiring new property secure financing through a redevelopment authority or SBA.

 

Expand Footprint

 

 

  • Sell one facility to acquire several others and expand the company's footprint.
  • Sell the company headquarters or one of its larger properties thru a sale leaseback.  Leaseback the property through a triple net lease (NNN) and use exchange proceeds to lease one or more other locations and prepay rents and/or make leasehold improvements.  A leasehold interest can be exchanged for fee interest in real property provided the lease term is 30 years or more including options.

Dear Friends,

 

March 28th marks my 17th anniversary with 1031 CORP. and I have to express my gratitude to Bill Cotter who gave me this fabulous opportunity and is still a great mentor and supporter.  When I first embarked on this journey, he told me to just use the tagline "Defer. Defer. Die."  While I have joked about it many times, I've stuck with a more positive tagline but the fact is that "Defer. Defer. Die." sums up how to maximize the benefits of section 1031.  A 1031 exchange allows you to build your real estate portfolio with pre-tax dollars by completing exchange after exchange.  When you pass away (which unfortunately is unavoidable), your heirs receive your assets with a stepped basis (meaning at the fair market value on the date of death) and any deferred gain is forgiven.  Your heirs never have to pay tax on the deferred gain!  While it is important to do some planning to minimize the estate taxes and we have no idea what will happen when the current tax extensions expire at the end of next year, currently the first $5,000,000 in assets is exempt of estate taxes.  "Defer. Defer. Die." is actually a great way to build and preserve wealth.

 

Happy Spring and Best Regards!

 

Margo
