get these calls. Someone else handles the professional man- agement while you sit back and still have your investment money working for you. This is called a passive investment. So investing in a DST with multiple properties would let me put my eggs in multiple baskets without needing to manage any of the properties. If I sell my property to invest in a DST, wouldn’t I lose a lot of that money to taxes? You can defer the Capital Gains Tax through a 1031 ex- change. If you’re going to sell your property, you only have 45 days to identify replacement property or else you are going to be slapped with the Capital Gains Tax and/or the Deprecia- tion Recapture Tax (usually at a rate of 25%) along with state taxes and sometimes the NIIT (the Medicare sur tax). If you’re an accredited investor (mean- ing you have an annual income of at least $200,000 or have a net worth of over $1 million exclusive of primary residence), you can defer the Capital Gains Tax and its friends by investing your money into another prop- erty within the mandated time- frame. This property replace- ment is called a 1031 exchange after IRC section 1031, which allows for you to postpone pay- ing the aforementioned taxes if you reinvest the proceeds in similar property as part of a qualifying like-kind exchange. Yes, exciting! But before you get carried away, there are a few more things you need to know about a DST 1031 ex- change. First, you can only acquire “like-kind” property. This means you can only invest money from a qualified real estate sale into DST property. A qualified real estate sale would typically be any property held for investment or business purposes. You also cannot invest mon- ey from selling your primary residence into a DST prop- erty (since you cannot 1031 exchange out of your primary residence) nor can you sell an investment property and invest it into a primary residence that you would live in. You must have both properties open to in- vestment or business purposes. Your debt counts as money you need to invest in the new property. If you have $700k in equity, and $300k in debt, Uncle Sam requires you to purchase $1 million or more in

property in order to defer taxes. You cannot get cash directly from the exchange. Instead, you need a Qualified Intermediary (also known as QI) to facili- tate the exchange. A QI is an independent third party who will hold the proceeds and be a part of enacting the 1031 ex- change through purchasing the replacement property. That’s where Kay Properties comes in. We provide DST properties that have passed our due dili- gence program and connect you with the properties that make sense for each investor’s situa- tion. We work with our clients to extensively review different real estate asset classes, loca- tions, the use of debt vs. debt- free real estate, etc. For more details on 1031 exchanges, DSTs and our process, please register at www.kpi1031.com or contact your Kay Properties representative.

Business Property Gains – the ability to not have to net capital losses with capital gains on 1231 property enables more gains to be eligible for investment within OZs. The proposed regulations required gains to be netted against losses – the final rules allow for total gain to be invested, thus increas- ing the amount eligible for investment; 8. Personal property used in an opportunity zone busi- ness can be counted for pur- poses of meeting the “substan- tial improvement” test.

Sin Businesses – Some would say that the allowance of less than 5% sin business as part of a property should not be a top ten, but we will leave that topic for a differ- ent day, in particular if the sin business is a cannabis business. Suffice it to say the final regulations allow for a 5% sin business component of overall revenue which is a useful clarification. On balance, the Final Regu- lations provided additional clarity and additional flexibil- ity for the Opportunity Zone programas a whole. Scheduled to become effective on March 11, 2019, these final regula- tions provide further impetus for investors and owners to engage in the program and continue the rapid pace of investment in qualified Oppor- tunity Zone areas throughout the US and in the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. My view is that 2020 should continue to be an active in- vestment year for OZ projects and will continue the high velocity pace we saw through- out 2019. Brad A.

hat is a DST 1031? I’m hearing my real estate inves-

tor friends and CPA men- tion it may be a good exit strategy for my appreciated real estate but I need to know more about it… First, let us explain a DST. DST stands for Delaware Statutory Trust. Here’s the full technical definition: a separate legal entity established under a trust created for the purpose of holding, managing, administer- ing, investing, or operating a property, or for allowing busi- ness/professional properties to have multiple trustees where each owner has beneficial in- terest for federal tax income purposes and every owner gets an undivided fractional inter- est in the DST property. These properties are not limited to the state of Delaware, but the idea of a DST was created under Delaware law. A DST allows each investor to own a fractional interest in a property with other investors, not as limited partners, but instead as their own individual owner inside the trust. Every- one will receive his or her own percentage share of the poten- tial income, tax benefits, and potential appreciation of the whole property. Each owner is treated as owning an undivided fractional interest. This allows the minimum investment to often be as low as $100,000, allowing investors to not only be able to invest in properties that can be too expensive to purchase individually (like large multifamily apartment communities, office buildings, industrial properties, single tenant net lease retail, self- storage facilities, and medical offices), but to invest their money into multiple properties, diversifying their real estate portfolios. Okay, so a DST is a type of property ownership that can have multiple trustees where each owner gets their own fractional interest while being treated as an individual own- er…why should I be interested in that? Well, let’s say you’re a land- lord of a multifamily residen- tial property. You’re the one the tenants call when there’s a leak, a mouse, cockroaches, loud tenants upstairs, bed bugs… it’s your job to handle all the problems. Fun! So much for retiring from the daily grind! But in a DST, you wouldn’t

The nature of NNN ropert es, their leas terms and tenant profiles provide added security for investors looking to ride out the storm of challenging economic conditions. The real estate fundamentals of NNN properti s provide the first line of security. NNN properties typically have high- traffic, high visibility locations which appeal to a broad range of p ospective tenants. NNN properties often have stylized box buildings with regular site layouts and ignage rights. These features help occupying NNN Triple Net Property Book would be a waste of your time. There is a reason both va- nilla & chocolate ice cream are top sellers. Even though people consider vanilla to

be plain and perhaps bor- ing, they still enjoy it. As- suming this analogy is true, usinesses maintain viable operations through economic cycles and appe to a multi- tude of tenants or buyers on the lease turn or disposal of the asset. NNN properties offer a sec- ond line of security in their long leas durations and lease terms. NNN property leases range from 5 - 20 years, often with rent increases through- out. These timeframes span economic cycles providi g sta- ble or escalating i come over time. They provide attractive ret rns rela ive to government and co pora e s curiti s and comparing a single-tenant NNN property to vanilla ice cream would be reasonable. For example, when you take a bite of vanilla ice cream, you know it will taste good, even predictable. When you

own a NNN property, your monthly income stream will be quite good; it will also be 100% predictable. To complete the analogy, let’s associate chocolate ice cream with a multi-tenant prop- erty with short-term leases. Examples of multi-tenant property include apartment buildings, shopping centers, or office buildings. Income from a multi-tenant prop- erty will vary each year and it will take a signifi- cant amount of your time to manage and maintain the property. Again, some people avoid the volatility of equity arkets. The hird line of securi- ty comes from the nature of the tenan s occupying NNN properti s. Ten nts typic lly consist of publicly traded com- panies or st ong priv t ly held companies. The corpor te- back d nature of NNNprop rty leases reduces vacancy risk for investors. Should an occupying business fail, NNN pro erty lease terms obligate t e ten- t to continue rent payments through t the lease term. Only a corporate bankruptcy can void the lease, which,

prefer vanilla, others prefer chocolate. It’s nice to have options. Here’s why many investors enjoy owning single-tenant NNN property. NNN is a type of lease in which the tenant maintains and pays for all property maintenance, taxes and insurance. Ten- ants include Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, Chase Bank, Wells Fargo, Chipotle, Pane- ra, McDonald’s, Dollar Gen- eral, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, AutoZone and almost every other national retailer you see while driving through the most prime retail corridor near your home. Landlords are mostly individual real es- tate investors, just like you. Here’s the best part – These Fortune 500 tenants sign long-term leases that range from 10 to 25 years. The price to purchase a NNN prop- erty begins at approximately $1,000,000. To make a long story really short, owning a NNN property gives you the freedom to work on your day job, travel or do things other than worry about your real estate investment.

Fast food chains, dollar stores and auto r pair/ auto part stores all ben fit from th “flight to affordability” that occurs as consumers seek out value menus, chase deals on daily nec ssities and witch to “do-it-yourself” mode.

determine your intent to hold the property for investment. The issue is whether you can prove you intended to hold the property for investment. The easiest way to demon- strate intent to hold a property for investment is to do just that – hold the property for invest- ment long enough to demon- strate intent. The longer you hold the property the stronger your argument. Advisors Recommend Holding the Property for 12 Months or More Advisors often recommend you hold the property for at

least one year to prove intent. Holding the property for at least one year means you will straddle two tax periods mak- ing it easier to prove intent to hold. Dealers Do Not Qualify for 1031 Exchange Treatment Dealers, developers, builders will typically not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment be- cause the hold the property for sale as “inventory” and not for investment. They may be able to qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment by segregating as- sets intended to be held as rental or investment from those

assets being held for sale. If your intent is to buy, rehab and sell or buy, build and sell property, you are holding the property for sale as inventory in your real estate business and will not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment. Holding Property in an Entity Can Complicate Transactions The holding issue becomes more complicated when you hold property in an entity such as a partnership or multi- member LLC. The entity can sell the relinquished property, purchase replacement property

and qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment. It becomes more complicated when some inves- tors want to go separate ways. You should seek advice today to have time to prepare for a future 1031 Exchange trans- action. The longer you hold property prior to a 1031 Ex- change, the more conservative the course of action is and the easier it will be to prove that you have satisfied the Qualified Use requirement.

the 1031 Exchange industry. Tax codes, regulations and rulings leave many questions unanswered or unclear. These gray areas result is differ- ent interpretations, confusing opinions or misleading infor- mation. We will explain these differences through an article series entitled Unraveling the Mystery of 1031 Exchanges. Property Purchased Just Prior to 1031 Exchange The IRS has routinely said if you purchased the relinquished property just prior to a sale and 1031 Exchange you are holding the property for sale rather than investment. The IRS has also said if the replace- ment property is sold immedi- ately after your 1031 Exchange transaction it was not held for sufficient time to qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment. Little Definitive Authority on Holding Period While there is no actual hold- ing period required, the IRS stated in one Private Letter Ruling that a holding period of two (2) years would be suf- ficient to meet the Qualified Use Test, and numerous courts have taken similar positions. Intent to Hold is Critical The time you hold property, although important, is not the only factor the IRS will use to NorthMarq’s office negotiates acquisition financing of $900,000 EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — Robert Ranieri, senior VP/ managing director of North- Marq’s White Plains office arranged acquisition financing of $900,000 for 189 & 193 Park Ave., a 3,644 s/f retail property located in East Rutherford.

average, many investors see it as an opportunity to sell real estate at a high and buy into another asset class at a low. “It’s obviously a great time to be selling real estate but not so much buying it,” said Michael Hershenberg, a real estate professional who has referred 1031 clients to Peregrine for the past several years. “These royalty properties give my cli- ents the opportunity to not only diversify their portfolio, but also to realize higher monthly income levels than they would with brick and mortar proper- ties alone.” In 1968, the IRS published

the Revenue Ruling 68-331 further clarifying Section 1031 of the 1954 Act. The ruling established that real estate ownership interests, whether above or below the ground, met the definition of “like kind” for an exchange. Over the past four decades, court rulings have reaffirmed that oil and gas royalty inter- ests qualify as “like-kind” to all other forms of real property. In addition, several Revenue Rul- ings and Private Letter Rulings have further established the like-kind nature of royalties when exchanging out of tradi- tional real estate.

Owners of royalty assets receive a percent of the gross monthly revenue generated by oil and gas companies who drill and operate wells on their prop- erty. Unlike oil and gas drilling investments, royalty owners do not get billed for exploration, drilling or operating wells, nor do they share in any of the risks or liabilities associated with that side of the industry. “I view royalties as the triple- net version of energy owner- ship,” said Deborah L., a repeat 1031 client of Peregrine. “I get a direct-deposit into my bank ac- count each month, I get a 1099 from the operators in January,

and I go about my life. It’s the definition of ‘mailbox money’.” Many clients will avoid boot on their exchange by allocating any leftover equity to royalties that might remain after their primary real estate purchase. Because royalties are com- pletely divisible, Peregrine can ‘carve-off’ the exact amount of property needed to fully utilize their exchange proceeds, down to the penny. In addition to the tax sav- ings of a 1031, royalties also provide owners with a deple- tion allowance each year that allows them to shield 15% of their gross royalty income, regardless of their carryover basis. That means that inves- tors whose cost basis in their previous property was zero would still pick up the 15% tax savings off their royalty income in perpetuity. Often viewed as a natural hedge against inflation, the attractive return profile of royalties along with the non- correlated nature of the asset class make it a worthwhile op- tion to consider when mapping out exchange options. Wolf Hanschen is the co- founder and managing di- rector of Peregrine Energy Partners with offices in Dallas and Denver.  Cronheim arranges $16.5MMacquisition financing for tech office campus CHATHAM, NJ — Cron- heimMortgage secured $16.5 million in financing for the acquisition of a five-building tech office park. A national lender funded a 10-year term with one-year of interest only followed by 30-year amortiza- tion at 75% LTV. The rate was locked at 3.75%. The 137,000± s/f aerospace technology office campus is 100% leased, with more than 96% of the in-place income re- ceived from investment-grade tenants. The property’s location near major military installations and tech infrastructure ide- ally position it for aerospace technology tenants working on sensitive government con- tracts. The buildings have “dark fiber”, significant “SCIF” space and redundant backup power sources to ensure con- tinuous operations. This has provided very strong historical occupancy. 
