hello david moore with equity advantage and we're聽 going to talk about what you're selling today so聽聽
[14]
i'm going to put it out to you you know what do聽 you think it is and what do you really want it聽聽
[17]
to be and and the reason i throw that question聽 out there is we we're in a sort of a strange聽聽
[23]
world right now uh just with inflation everything聽 else that's going on we yes once again it's it's聽聽
[29]
uh you know may of 2022 and yet again here we聽 are fighting for 1031 survival although nobody聽聽
[39]
in our industry is really taking that threat聽 seriously but what their what once again the聽聽
[44]
biden administration has proposed is a cap on an聽 individual's ability to defer gains at a half a聽聽
[50]
million dollars uh per person per year i think聽 that half million really sort of floats back to聽聽
[55]
1997 with sections 121 the 250 or 500 exclusion聽 and otherwise i don't know how the half million聽聽
[63]
gets to be but the reason i bring up section 121聽 not not only just because i think it's part of聽聽
[68]
that conversation is that if you look at the 250聽 or 500 that was put in place in 1997 and compare聽聽
[75]
that to property values today 2022 it's a totally聽 different world and i i really firmly believe the聽聽
[82]
250 or 500 probably ought to be million million聽 five or even greater today to offer the same聽聽
[89]
protection the exclusion offered when it came into聽 place replacing section 1034 in in 1997. so if聽聽
[97]
we're looking at what you're selling uh you know聽 once again i'm going to ask you what do you think聽聽
[101]
it is and what do you really want it to be i mean聽 there's many situations through the years where聽聽
[106]
we've taken a property that maybe was a a primary聽 residence and it was converted into an investment聽聽
[113]
at some point in time did you know that as long as聽 if you meet the two out of five that section 121聽聽
[119]
covers that that you could be living in a home聽 you can move out of that home as long as you sold聽聽
[124]
it within three years of moving out you're still聽 entitled to section 121 the 250 or 500 exclusion聽聽
[130]
so once again 121 is not what something is at聽 time of sale it's whether it fits a two out of聽聽
[137]
five requirement and and that's something聽 we've done many times through the years聽聽
[142]
section 121 also says you can apply it once聽 every two years that's not an absolute you could聽聽
[147]
have multiple sales as part of one transaction聽 let's say you had a house with the adjacent lot聽聽
[153]
and that lot was your backyard forever well in聽 today's world you're probably going to break it聽聽
[158]
off and do a 1031 on that piece just because your聽 gains are probably well in excess of 250 or 500聽聽
[163]
on the sale of your home which leads me to this聽 so we can convert a residence and do investment聽聽
[170]
we can go investment to residents one of the big聽 reasons we're going to look at actually converting聽聽
[176]
a property from a primary residence into聽 investment is to protect you to keep your聽聽
[180]
money yours we like to say you've worked hard聽 for your money we work hard to keep it yours聽聽
[185]
now imagine you've got a a home that's got a聽 basis of a half million dollars and now you're聽聽
[190]
selling the property and it's a million five or聽 two million uh you're not going to get very far聽聽
[196]
that exclusion is going to leave you hanging out聽 there to the tune of a million million five you're聽聽
[200]
going to lose you know at least a third of that聽 to tax so you probably don't want to have that聽聽
[206]
happen so what are your choices well just move out聽 of the house treat it as an investment property聽聽
[211]
for a period of time that period of time is not聽 spelled out in the code you need to talk to your聽聽
[216]
tax people about this but you're just going to聽 move out of that home after you've seasoned it聽聽
[220]
as an investment property for what you and your聽 tax people feels a reasonable period of time聽聽
[225]
you can then sell it you're still entitled to聽 the exclusion you're going to 1031 the overage聽聽
[230]
now you know a lot of times you might say聽 well gee i don't want to income property i聽聽
[233]
want to deal with the terrible tees toilets trash聽 tenants turnover what do i do well maybe you just聽聽
[238]
do that 1031 overage and do something called the聽 delaware statutory trust so there's other things聽聽
[244]
out there that can take care of it but like i聽 said you're in a situation you've got a home聽聽
[249]
with gains well in excess of the 250 or 500 you聽 don't want to pay the tax on that transaction聽聽
[254]
move out of it convert it to an investment as聽 long as you sell it within three out three years聽聽
[259]
of moving out of it you're still entitled to聽 exclusion you're going to 1031 the overage so聽聽
[264]
that's an example of taking a primary residence聽 going investment now let's go the other way聽聽
[269]
where's the situation where you might take and聽 convert an investment to your residence well聽聽
[274]
lots of times people want to go out and buy聽 something at the beach they buy that property聽聽
[278]
at the beach they say boy that beach property is聽 really nice they ultimately want to move into it聽聽
[283]
so we can acquire something via 1031聽 and after a reasonable period of time聽聽
[289]
convert it from an investment to residents聽 there's no tax on the conversion the tax聽聽
[293]
consequence is going to happen upon a future聽 disposition which leads me to this if you聽聽
[298]
acquire a property via 1031 convert it into a聽 primary residence do not sell it within five聽聽
[304]
years of acquisition if you sell it within five聽 years of acquisition it's a fully taxable sale聽聽
[310]
so number one don't do that uh number two even聽 if you've held it for more than five years聽聽
[315]
you're going to be subject to something called the聽 housing assistance tax act of 2008 and it's pretty聽聽
[321]
ugly all right and what basically it says is that聽 you're only going to be allowed the 250 or 500聽聽
[327]
exclusion on a on a qualified use period so what聽 happens is from 2009 of the data conversion that's聽聽
[335]
gain attributable non-qualified use the qualified聽 use is the time you live in it and you're going聽聽
[341]
to be allowed that proration based upon the ratio聽 between qualified versus non-qualified use periods聽聽
[347]
it's convoluted talk to your tax people about it聽 make sure they know about it but that that rule聽聽
[352]
exists it's been here since 2008 now and we have聽 lots of people that work with that all the time聽聽
[359]
bottom line long story short look at that聽 transaction look at the acquisition conversion聽聽
[365]
of investment to residents as an endgame a place聽 to go you're going to be there for the foreseeable聽聽
[369]
future don't look at it as hey i'm going to聽 do this transaction i got this great idea i'm聽聽
[374]
going to buy the property hold it a year live聽 in it for two take the exclusion have no gain聽聽
[379]
it does not work no longer works hasn't worked聽 for a number of years but it still floats around聽聽
[384]
