Tenants in Common offer many advantages to the investor. The great advantages are the large number of properties available and both the size of the TIC interest and the date for closing are very flexible.Once you sell your existing property, you must close on your new property within the earlier of 180 days or the due date of your tax return (including extensions). In today's market, finding real estate values can be a challenge and individual investors have been somewhat limited to residential properties and small commercial structures.A taxpayer owning a single whole property (say, an apartment building in Florida) may exchange into a fractional tenant-in-common interest in a number of different types of property (say, an office building with investment-grade tenants or a health care facility leased to an investment-grade tenant, which almost always are NNN 1031 properties) in different geographic regions, thereby diversifying the taxpayer's portfolio and reducing a number of investment risks. The term "boot" refers to anything that is exchanged in a 1031 exchange that is not like-kind property.

This means that the taxpayer cannot use their current attorney, certified public accountant or real estate agent. Annual REIT returns fail to reflect corresponding persistence behavior in underlying real estate returns precisely when the REITs are large enough to attract institutional investor interest. Taxation is the same as if the buyer were making installment payments directly.

Real estate immovable property is often considered synonymous with real property also sometimes called realty, in contrast with personal property also sometimes called chattel or personalty. Not all TIC are created equal, and it is our belief that investing in 1031 TIC properties should be approached in a similar fashion to that which an investor would approach buying an investment property for sole ownership.Real properties are generally of like-kind, not considering whether the properties are improved or unimproved. 1031 Exchange is affiliated with 1031 Tax Exchange Opportunities.
