Investment Financing Strategies

Chapter 14


133

Sale-Leaseback

• Owner of property sells it to an investor and, at the same time, leases it back.

• Seller-lessees retain possession while obtaining full sales price; free capital frozen in equity

• Investor-landlord receives fair return on and of the investment in the form of rent during the lease term and ownership of a depreciable asset already occupied by a “good “ tenant; buying guaranteed income stream that can be sheltered through proper use of allowable deductions.


134

Seller Refinances Prior to the Sale

• Seller can refinance the property in order to secure a loan that can be assumed by the buyer


135

Trading on Seller’s Equity

• Buyer refinances property instead of assuming the existing loan


136

Equity Participation

• Sale-Buyback • Splitting ownership • Joint ventures


137

Tax-Deferred Financing Concepts

• Realized capital gains—the difference between the total consideration received and the adjusted book basis of the property transferred.

• Recognized capital gains—profits that are actually taxable.

• Owners can refinance their properties during their lifetimes, generating tax-deferred dollars for reinvestment. At time of death, properties receive step-up basis to fair market value and could be distributed to heirs free of potential income tax on any appreciation to time death.


Pyramiding Through Refinancing

• Periodically refinance properties already owned and use proceeds to purchase new properties

• Anticipates that original property will increase in value over time

• Capital gains are delayed through refinancing process

138


Distribution to Heirs

• Federal estate tax• California inheritance tax• Gift tax
