What is TIC or Tenancy-in-common?
A TIC investment offers ownership in a real estate where two or more
investors share an undivided, fractional interest in the asset. The shares of
each investor in a TIC are not required to be equal, and ownership interests
can also be inherited. Under a TIC arrangement, each co-owner receives a single
deed at the time of closing for their undivided percentage of interest in the
entire property. A TIC investor exercises the same rights and benefits as any
sole owner of a property without the burden of managing the property. A TIC
investment can either be privately arranged by investors or could be a
syndicated TIC arrangement where a uniform set of rules apply to all investors.
Most of the syndicated TICs are viewed as securities under federal security
law.
Why should I do a TIC 1031 Exchange?
- TIC
investment is for investors who want to own institutional-grade investment
properties that are managed by professionals, like office buildings,
shopping complexes, corporate headquarters, and apartment buildings. TIC
ownership can't be compared with REITs as the latter does not qualify for
a 1031 exchange.
- If
you are tired of managing your investment property and no longer want to
bear the pain but want to keep your investment running, TIC investment is
for you. Using a 1031 exchange, you can defer the capital gain taxes on
your relinquished property and reinvest the entire proceeds in a TIC property.
What you need to know?
Revenue Procedure 2000-37 has the guidelines for this type of
investment. Any investment not conforming to these guidelines will be taxed
normally, which means a big 'No' to the possibility of a 1031 exchange.
This kind of investment must be vigilantly scrutinized for potential
financial risks. You may require the assistance of your advisor or a 1031
expert. These investments are illiquid, and investors can't interfere in the
management of the investment.
Is a TIC 1031 Exchange investment beneficial for me?
Of course, it is. If you are selling your investment property and don't
want to have management responsibilities on your new property, there is no
reason why you shouldn't invest in TICs. Post your investment in a TIC property;
you will start receiving your share of income on a regular basis.
