Currently we own 50 single family homes in Indianapolis. They are held in an Llc. Is there any benefit to moving them to an s corporation? Also thinking of selling all my single family homes. Thinking of exiting real estate. I’m scared if I were to die that it would be a mess for my family. Any advice on how all real estate and other assets can best be left to beneficiaries. Thanks for your time and info --107.77.xxx.xx |

An excellent question that many of us are facing, myself included.
I'm in the situation where my family is NOT interested in owning rentals at all. They have decided to go a different way.
So, what do I do with them?
Before I say what my choice is, I'd also like to hear some other suggestions. --75.7.xx.xx |

Pete,
I think if you have an organized business and capable helpers (bookkeeper, handyman) the rentals could keep providing income IF IF IF your heirs so desire.
Or they can sell them off one by one as they come open.
The heirs receive a stepped up basis so selling/negotiating is easier and more profitable to them than to you.
For what it's worth I am moving out of low end homes by 1031ing them into fewer, larger, nicer, easy to rent, easy to maintain houses. Example: two or three scrappy rentals into one nice home, no money out of pocket and no taxes paid on the sale of the two I've had a long time, totally depreciated out.
I am no longer worried about ROI, I am focusing on "easy" and "sustainable".
My dream - sell everything at once and 1031 the money into farmland. Income without people and toilets and moratoriums. In fact the govt will pay to NOT grow on certain land!
LLC - I THINK you could simply sell someone your shares in the LLC.

Pete, you sound successful, but you have to (a must) consult with a top Probate and Estate Attorney in your State. Having everything in one LLC is "dumb". Now you have 1 LLC worth 50 homes. I have each property held differently so that if a problem occurs, the suing party has the option to accept an insurance payment (with a limit) or sue.
Just to let you know I have many friends who do NOT consult the right attorney and end up paying more taxes than necessary. --47.155.xx.xxx |

Pete,
Good advice by Robert.
I just realized your LLC props will probably not get a stepped up basis for your heirs.
Get a good atty to review this.

[[[[...... The heirs receive a stepped up basis.....]]]]
So far.
I suspect that this tax law is on very shaky ground and stepped up basis might soon be removed as an exit plan from estate planning. The government is going to be hunting new sources of tax revenue like a pig hunting truffles. --76.178.xxx.xxx |

we have set up (back in 2001 and recently redone Aug 2021) our trust.
Our rentals are in an FLP that is being held by the Holding company (INC). All is tied together in the Estate Plan.
Our original plan and now updated took much time and frankly we have more to protect now -- 20 years later.
The bottom line-- once the plan is activated (aka we both pass away) the trustee in-line decides. We will be gone and we made the decision the Trustee-- whoever that is does what they think best-- sell / hold / whatever.
We also made it clear to those inline it is THEIR DECISION. --99.103.xxx.xxx |

Having them in an LLC does create some value - as long the LLC isn't to big.
With the real estate being in an LLC you can always sell the LLC without specifically naming the real estate. In doing so you would be selling the places subject too.
To follow up on Robert's input, if an LLC gets too big, then the pool for buyers gets smaller and small while the amount of liability increase.
Another option you have is doing individual land trust as outlined by MYOB. The LLC then manages the places --24.101.xxx.xxx |

yes ray manages under the FLP under the direction of the INC. Holding Company. The inc. has one assets -- a van and one employee. It also retains the Rental Deposits as required by law. Since we manage more than 10 the deposits are in escrow. Tennats are made aware of the location of their deposits to meet that requirment of the law. --99.103.xxx.xxx |

Thanks, Brad 20,000. We have been using 1031 to sell properties this year, involving a bunch of properties this year. (been doing 1031 since 1986) Its a very valuable tool, along with the stepped up basis, two of the best aspects of the tax code. We also sold out personal residence this year, historic high prices, tax free (not a 1031), and bigger than we really need. Also sold beach house this year. And sold smaller, older, lower rent properties and exchanged into higher rent properties, newer, bigger, and larger properties.
Also moved into more managed properties to reduce my work load. And I will be continuing to do more in 2022, along the same lines. With historic high prices, historic low interest rates and possible tax changes, now is a great time to sell, pay no taxes and upgrade your rental portfolios with better, higher class rental. --152.208.xx.xxx |

We are planning to retire yet. When we do we will be selling them off one at a time. First, loop the residential ones and keeping the commercial property.

I'm just about to turn 65 and don't have any heirs. I'm starting to sell my houses in 1031 exchanges and invest in syndicates. Many of these passive investments have higher returns than I'm getting on my current equity. --172.14.xx.xx |

Hello Don, For 1031 exchange to workout into a syndication, it has to be setup as a Tenants-In-Common (TIC) structure. Depending on the project (whether it is a new construction, or apartment's buy/hold); this TIC can be setup in different ways to allow for more flexibility/dispostion, etc. For ex, within a new construction the TIC can be setup only for the Land portion off it, etc. So; the 1031'ing party exchanges into the TIC; which ultimately is the party/member into the syndication LLC.
In short, it is absolutely possible and has been successfully done many times. Just need to consult lawyer properly who has structured such projects before. Hope this helps. --72.85.xx.xxx |

Hello Robin, The syndicate is nothing but a "group investment opportunity" led by a sponsor (typically a group of individuals/company). One can syndicate pretty much all kinds of investment projects; from land, apartments, self storages, business opportunities (retail, cash wash, pharma, etc etc). It is all legal and has to be properly structured by SEC attorneys and post closing paperwork (called bluesky filings) has to be filed with SEC properly by attorneys. Hope it helps. --72.85.xx.xxx |

Very interesting question, I have been dealing with this for a few years.
First over time, between their grandfather with some land, my wife (& I) and some 1031s, we have (annual) gifted (with LLC valuation discounts) our 3 adult children a couple of rental houses out right, and an interest in an LLC which they also each would own 1/3 interest of 6 properties.
This has given me the opportunity to work with the children some, and for them to learn hands-on about residential property management. Also, I was able to see if they were interested, while not leaving them a total mess.
In the meantime (over 3 years), I have been liquidating my personal interest in single-family properties, and reinvesting as an accredited investor in value-add multifamily & self storage properties with experienced syndicators. I have found some through networking, seminar investor-panels, and learning more with the 506 Investor Group. (highly recommended for accredited investors)
The result for me has been a much better return on my investment (cash flow & appreciation, generally 12% to over 20% IRR) and a more passive income stream in our retirement.
My children also were not ultimately interested in overseeing a lot of rental property. I have just finished up overseeing liquidating their LLC and also helping them redirect the proceeds into multifamily and self-storage property with a number of different experienced sponsors with strong track records.
Two of the children, have already sold one of their properties and are reinvesting with the passive sponsors.
To help them get started, I did advance (loan) them some funds so they could give started with the process and some cash-flow. It also helped a great deal with taxes by using the write-offs and some credits (solar) from the passive-investments to help offset the capital gains tax on the sales.
I am now identifying some resources to help them become better passive-investors, identifying and vetting the sponsors, and comparing the terms, performance and risk of difference sponsors and projects. Also, I am introducing them to the Investor Group.
We are still a work in process, but I feel the family has a much better handle on the legacy assets. I feel like the property has been liquidated in the recent strong real estate market. I was also able to to oversee the liquidation and taking care of the deferred maintenance for my children, so we could get the best value up the sale, for my family.
With the annual gifting, it has been a long road and has also taking some turns in the process.
Talk to your CPA & business attorney. There are other gifting strategies available using your lifetime exemption, and with LLCs, to efficiently transfer the assets at a much faster pace.

Such a GREAT Question! I'm sorry to hear the family isn't interested in keeping the income stream going, but I also know from years of experience as a real estate agent that it happens.
I have quite a few rentals and taught my son to manage them (and he does a Terrific job, too!) and a sit down with my two daughters twice a year to go over my global schedule of real estate owned. I've made it clear and they agree to never sell unless demographics suggest and then do a 1031 into another income producing asset.
I have a business trust as well as LLC's and have things set up so that they can simply hire another manager in the future. And they all see the cash flow as a good thing.
But in your case, no one wants it.
You could sell them now and do owner financing, therefore you are only paying tax on the cash you receive when you receive it. They would then be left an income stream that would end at some time in the future.
You could allow them to sell once they inherit the properties and with a step up in basis, that could be advantageous as well.
I'd also suggest that you check into companies like Capital Square 1031. Essentially, you sell your asset via 1031 and reinvest the proceeds with them. They buy income producing real estate and pay out 'dividends' much like a REIT.
Hope this helps! --73.40.xx.xx |
