1031 Tenant in Common Advantages

1. Low Minimum Investment
An estimated 40% of all 1031 exchanges involve capital amounts of $250,000 or less. The price of admission into the triple-net lease market typically begins at $1,000,000, thereby locking many 1031 investors out of this arena. However, TIC ownership is available for as little as $50,000.

2. Diversification & Safety
In a typical 1031 exchange, the taxpayer will identify three potential replacement properties and subsequently purchase only one. TIC ownership makes it economically feasible to identify and acquire ownership interest in many properties, thereby decreasing risk through diversification.

3. Flexibility
By identifying a TIC property as one of the replacement property choices, the taxpayer's entire proceeds can be applied to the TIC property if the other choices fall through. In addition, if there is money left unspent after another closing, the taxpayer can invest the "spill-over" money in the TIC property.

4. Decreased Tax Risk
Because an investment position in a TIC property can be reserved for a period of time after the identification period, the potential for paying capital gains tax because of a collapsed deal is decreased.

5. Existing Financing
Typically, TIC properties already have non-recourse financing in place and can be assumed without qualification or loan assumption fees.

6. Speed
A TIC closing can take place within days of identification by eliminating the negotiation process, the loan qualification process, the credit checks, and the appraisal work.

7. Liquidity
By maintaining a secondary market of TIC ownership interest, new investors can select seasoned properties, and existing owners can liquidate their partial- ownership interest.

8. Simplicity
A TIC investor receives a monthly check without the bother of day-to-day investment management.

9. Safety
TIC properties attract tenants with greater financial strength and stability than is possible for the individual landlord.
