Dear Friends,

If you bought your commercial building 20 or 30 years ago to house your business, and you are considering selling it today, you will have an expensive date with the IRS and New York State in the way of capital gains taxes. 

 

However, there is a way to dodge these taxes, and "kick the can down the road."  It is popularly called a "1031 exchange," and properly done allows you to defer your tax obligation.  One of the most interesting parts of a 1031 exchange is that you can swap your commercial building for a triple-net leased property, totally maintained by the tenant.  An entire industry has grown around this "triple-net-lease" demand, so you could end up owning a Walgreens in Pennsylvania, with no more obligation than cashing rent checks!  Read more about 1031 exchanges in this issue's lead article.

 

I love Long Island in the summer.  The pool is open, my tomatoes are already 18' high, and life is good!  I hope your summer is the best ever.

 

"Oh the possibilities!"

Q: I own the building that houses my construction business.  We are considering purchasing a larger building and moving.  My broker suggested a 1031 exchange.  How does that work and is it worth the effort?

 

A: It is absolutely worth considering in your situation.  Briefly, it allows you to "kick the can down the road" and defer federal income taxes and capital gains taxes on any gain that you may have on the sale of your present property.  Because it is detailed in Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, it is often called a "1031 exchange."  It permits a taxpayer (an individual or entity) to dispose of property used in its trade or business or held for investment purposes without paying federal income taxes, including... Click here for full article
