How to structure JV
I am planing to enter into a JV with another partner and need some opinions on the best way to structure this deal.
1. I will by the LAND with my own funds for $420k (NYC area).
2. Will work with the architect on plans and get permits (will take about 1 year).
3. Once the plans are approved - will transfer the property into a LLC and my partner will pay me 50% of the cost basis (~$210k) for the the 50% stake in the newly formed LLC....
Will this trigger a taxable event? Is it better for me to form LLC at the time of the purchase and buy the property under LLC name?
4. We will then contribute equalty 50/50 towards the construction cost (which will be about $450k).
What is the most 'efficient' way to structure this deal from the TAX perspective and LIABILITY point of view?
