What is a 1031 Exchange?
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows an investor to defer gains from a sale if re-invested in a “like-kind” asset. Previously, many asset types were allowed, but as of 2018, only real property (real estate) assets are allowed to take advantage of this tax code provision.
Why Participate?
This tax code provision, if applied wisely, can be one of the single biggest wealth generators to an investor. By being able to invest all proceeds from a property sale, instead of only investing after-tax proceeds, one can substantially increase buying power.
How Does One Qualify?
The property being sold must be a real property (real estate) held for long-term investment. Generally, second homes or short-term property “flips” would not qualify. Once sold, all proceeds must be directly deposited with a qualified intermediary. The investor then has 45 days to identify replacement properties. Properties must be identified, in writing. Replacement properties can be identified in one of three ways:
3-Property Rule: Can Identify up to three (3) replacement properties without regard to their fair market value
200% Rule: Can identify any number of replacement properties so long as their aggregate fair market value of all replacement property does not exceed 200% of the aggregate fair market value of all relinquished properties
95% Rule: Can identify any number of replacement properties without regard to the combined fair market value, as long as the replacement properties acquired amount to at least 95% of the fair market value of all identified properties.
Exchange
The investor has up to 180 days from the time that the relinquished property was sold to purchase the replacement property(s)
Summary
The Stratus team considers 1031 exchanges to be an integral part of any well-managed real estate investment strategy and are happy to discuss in detail ways to integrate this into your personal wealth building model.

What is a sale-leaseback?
Sale-leasebacks are when the owner/user of a property sells their property and enters into an agreement with the new owner that allows them to continue controlling the space.
Who benefits from a sale-leaseback?
In conjunction with the triple-net lease, this type of transaction can be beneficial for users because it allows them to gain access to cash, while maintaining oversight of the space without the high costs of ownership. Sale-leasebacks with a NNN lease benefit investors because it creates stable income for an extended period of time, but allows them to be relatively hands-off.
Need additional capital to grow your business or further a new or existing investment strategy? Stratus Property Group can help highlight the benefits that can be derived from a sale-leaseback, 1031 exchange, or a number of other more complex real estate transactions.

Triple net (NNN) leased properties have become increasingly popular with investors for their simplicity.
What is a triple-net lease?
The triple-net lease, commonly abbreviated NNN, is a lease in which the tenant of the space is responsible for all costs associated with the space, including: real estate property taxes, property insurance and common area maintenance. These leases are typically long term with a base percentage increase each year. Tenant has control of the space.
Who is a triple-net lease best for?
Properties that utilize NNN leases are relatively low risk for hands-off investors since individual tenants handle the majority of the work related to the property, thus alleviating any management worries or additional improvement costs. They can offer stable income, and when sold, can be used as a tax break through the 1031 exchange process.
