Question 3

CAN I INVEST USING A 1031 EXCHANGE?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can invest using a 1031 Exchange.  
For 1031 investors, they will invest in the syndication using a TIC structure.  Investors need to identify their replacement property or properties within 45 days of closing on their existing rental or business-use property. They will need to complete the exchange within 180 days. Equity Trust works as the qualified intermediary, Exchanges should ideally be set up within a week or two before the closing date of their existing property, but we can set it up in less time. Reverse exchanges are essentially the purchase of TIC ownership in the deal would come first, then they would sell their existing property within 180 days.

Question 4

WHAT IS A K-1?

Accepted Answer

As a partner in the LLC that purchases the properties, you will receive a “K-1”. A “K-1” is a tax form used by partnerships to provide investors with detailed information on their share of a partnership’s taxable income. Partnerships are generally not subject to federal or state income tax, but instead issue a K-1 to each investor to report his or her share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and credits. The K-1s are provided to investors on an annual basis so that each investor can include K-1 amounts on his or her tax return.
