or investors who want to make profits on real estate, tiny homes in Opportunity Zones (OZs) offer a rare chance to make money while doing good. OZs are a government program intro - duced in 2018 that encourages capital investment in low-in - come areas. Companies and individuals who invest in OZs receive special tax benefits. Meanwhile, tiny homes are gaining in popularity. As the Motley Fool writes, “The global tiny home market is expected to grow by about 4% in 2022, with most of that concentrated in the U.S. The market is expected to hit $4.7 billion in global revenue by 2026.” Add tiny homes to OZs, with a dash of solar power, and you get success. A great investment Perhaps the most important reason to invest in tiny homes in OZs is that you can generate both usable solar tax credits and depreciation as well as Why Opportunity Zones and Tiny Homes are a Perfect Fit Justin Draplin F

a tax-free capital gain when you sell the property. In ad - dition, investing unrealized capital gains in opportunity zones comes with additional tax benefits. According to the Tax Policy Center , these include the tem - porary deferral of taxes on pre - viously earned capital gains until the asset is sold or until the end of 2026. And, if you don’t sell that asset for at least 10 years, you won’t have to pay taxes on any capital gains earned from your investment in opportunity funds, which is the vehicle that allows you to invest in OZs. But perhaps the greatest benefit is that this
can be done as many times as you want. Tiny homes in particular are a great way to capitalize on OZs because they are less expensive to construct and maintain than traditional housing. According to Forbes , “A basic cabin kit can cost as low as $6,000 to $8,000... But HomeAdvisor estimates the average tiny home cost is about $45,000.” Tiny homes can be built in only a few days. Finally, tiny homes may be turned into rental units for long-term tenants or hired out as vacation homes. Own - ers may also choose to live continued on page 14A

for a loan or even fill out loan documents, DSTs can create a reliable tool for you to access high-quality real estate invest - ments without having to jump through the hoops of getting approved for a loan. 2. Cover strategy. Another popular use of DST investments comes in the form of providing a cover strategy for left over equity. Let’s say you sell one property and can - not find a suitable replacement property that uses the full ex - change proceeds, and you now have leftover equity you need to place. One of the benefits DSTs can provide you in this situation is the ability to enter one without investing a lot of money. Because DSTs require a low minimum investment amount (typically $100k), they can be a good way for you to use any extra 1031 Exchange pro - ceeds to avoid having a “boot” to pay taxes on. Placing the leftover exchange proceeds into a DST property can potentially allow you to achieve full tax de - ferral for your 1031 exchange. Consult your own tax or legal advisor for tax and legal advice. An Example of How DSTs Can Provide Cover for a 1031 Exchange Here’s an example of how continued on page 14A

Exchange Investors in these four ways: 1. Debt Replacement 2. Cover Strategy 3. Diversification and Passive Investing 4. Back-Up Option If you are considering a 1031 Exchange, here are four ways you can use DSTs as a strategic tool for today’s challenging real estate market: 1. Debt Replacement. One of the most popular uses of DSTs for a 1031 Exchange involves not having to secure financing. For example, if you are in the midst of a 1031 Exchange in today’s unstable debt market, you may be hav - ing a difficult time finding a mortgage to satisfy your 1031 exchange requirements. DSTs, however, are designed to make it easy to invest in without hav- ing to deal with qualifying for and taking on a mortgage on own’s own. That’s why many investors find DSTs also make a suitable primary investment option for 1031 Exchanges. Kay Properties has a variety of leveraged DSTs that are pre- structured with non-recourse debt already built-in typically ranging from 30% to 70% of - fering loan to value (LTV). Because DSTs typically do not require you to have to qualify

an affiliate of Patriot Parking Inc. managing director, Phil Sharrow led the transaction on behalf of SCOPE and the respective deal party. The buyer, a regionally based qualified opportunity fund joint venture, purchased the property with zoning and building permits in place that required revision. The proper - ty was sold with a full ten-year tax abatement and partial construction documents. “The Callowhill project started as a lower density co-living concept with a mas - ter lease from an opera - tor that did not survive the COVID-19 pandemic,” adds Sharrow. “SCOPE worked closely with the seller and its architect to revise the project to a market-rate format and maximize the sale as there was minimal interest in its co-living concept because of various market constraints.” The project site consisted of 20,000 s/f with CMX-4 zon - ing in a qualified opportunity zone. 1201-15 Callowhill sold at $395 per land square foot - age and $55,000 per buildable unit, setting another high- water mark comparable for this submarket. “SCOPE is also affiliated with over 150 units currently under construction at 1201 Vine St. , and 500 N 13th St. , less than two blocks away from the subject property,” comments Sharrow. “On North Broad St., Toll Brothers is cur - rently completing their enve - lope on a high-rise multifamily rental project. Developers see this pocket as a very central neighborhood to Philadelphia that has many of the same cre- ative drivers and features that other rapidly appreciating neighborhoods in major cities were predicated on.” MAREJ
