HELP: Need to teach owner about benefits of seller financing 1031
Hello,
Im working on an off market apartment complex with an owner. I know he wants passive income and I wanted to provide that value for him.
So far I have these Benefits of Seller Financing:
- Higher Price: I can pay more because I can get a 30 year term from you, but a local bank will only give me 25%. Also it is too small for agency debt.
- Unless you have a higher and better use for the money. After capital gains, broker fees, long inspection periods, re-trades, etc. you will end up with way less.
- Installment sale will net you more future yield.
- You only pay gains on the extent you receive payment each year.
- Faster closing: Banks and lenders take months!
So I put this in 1031 because I have a question.
-Is this correct: Does the seller only pay capital gains tax on the principle payments he receives from me?
-And can he 1031 that money? The reason I ask is because of this link I found, where it says a contract sale will work? https://www.1031exchange.com/opportunity-seller-financing/
Thanks ahead of time!
