1031 dst properties

Options When Members of a Partnership or LLC Want to Cash Out

A partnership or limited liability company (LLC) cash-out 1031 exchange occurs when one or more of the partners or members want to cash-out of the investment property to be sold instead of re-investing all of the proceeds from the sale of the relinquished property into the replacement property. One popular method is a Drop and Swap.

 

Assuming this fact scenario, ABCD, LLC has four members, one of which wants to cash out a 25% interest and not participate in the 1031 exchange, an example of a drop and swap transaction would be one in which:

(1) ABCD, LLC would first distribute a 25% undivided interest in the relinquished property to Mr. C in liquidation of his ownership interest in ABCD, LLC, leaving the property being owned 75% by ABCD, LLC and 25% by MR. C as tenants-in-common,

(2) ABCD, LLC would sell its 75% interest in the Property and Mr. C would sell his 25% interest in the Property,

(3) Mr. C would keep his cash and pay tax on his sale transaction, and

(4) ABCD, LLC would engage in a 1031 exchange and purchase new replacement property.

 

Or, the same structure can be completed in a different order using a Swap and Drop. An example of a swap and drop transaction would be one in which:

(1) ABCD, LLC sells the Property and engages in a 1031 exchange by buying new replacement real property,

(2) ABCD, LLC then distributes a 25% interest in the new property to Mr. C in liquidation of his ownership interest in ABCD, LLC (resulting in the new property being owned 75% by ABCD, LLC and 25% by Mr. C as tenants-in-common), and

(3) Mr. C then sells his 25% interest in the new property, either to a third party or to the remaining members of ABCD, LLC, and pays tax on his sale transaction.

 

Structuring a partnership/LLC cash-out transaction is not simple or straightforward. It is important for anyone contemplating one to obtain the advice of an experienced tax professional familiar with structuring 1031 exchanges.

 

 

 

* Partnerships are excluded from effecting a 1031 exchange per IRC section 1031 (a)(2)(D). Consult your tax and legal counsel for more information about partnership owned property.

Risk Disclosure: Alternative investment products, including real estate investments, notes & debentures, hedge funds and private equity, involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail commodity trading, which involves substantial risk of loss.
