In today's environment, this is a potential tool to help you win deals.

They are a local brokerage but also have a school that provides a good learning environment (coming from a broker/owner of my own firm).

And in a late market rising interest rate environment debt is what kills the returns on NNN properties.The key to all of these that so many real estate folks forget is that the property itself is really of secondary importance - very counter intuitive to folks who have been focused on the right property and find tenants.

This stands in direct opposition to a capital intensive industry such as manufacturing where employee and owner skill may be less important than the company's fixed asset profile.While S179 is a valid strategy in the attempt to drive a taxpayer's taxable income below the 'threshold amount' so the SSTB receives the un-phased out Sec 199A deduction, a SSTB may not have the investments in fixed assets necessary to drive them below the threshold during the year unless they're already very close to the threshold.Some other ideas for taxpayers owning a SSTB to lower their taxable income:Roll taxable bonds into tax-exempt bonds.Life insurance & annuities.Real estate (it's BP after all).Oil and gas investments.Charitable gifts (including CRTs).Gifts to taxpayers with lower taxable income (powerful option is to gift a percentage of the business to a trust).If a SSTB is well above the threshold, a compelling case could be made that the business should be a C Corp in the current tax environment. 

And C is the best for the environment and the softest, but mechanically not the best.A comment on insulation in general: insulation does not keep things warm by itself; it only slows down the heat transfer.

@Joe Villeneuve it seems you are operating in an environment I am moving towards. 

I'm so glad I found this environment where I can read and learn JUST about RE.
