Rud Sev High level of taxes for syndication
20 December 2024 | 20 replies
First - you have to mention what the syndication will do as that will have an impact on how you get taxed.Given that this is a real estate forum, it is assumed that you are investing in a syndication that will invest in real estate.Most real estate syndications purchase real estate in year 1 and have a plan of selling / exiting in year 5 or 7.Often times, the sponsor will get a cost segregation study which increases the loss on the K-1 presented to the investor in year 1.This may be important as it almost guarantees that there will be no taxable income from the syndication from year 1 to the year before exit.If the syndication does well and exits at a price more than purchase, it may result in a taxable income.

Structuring the Deal with a PartnerWhile your partner cannot directly participate in the loan, there are ways to structure your arrangement to reflect your 50/50 partnership:Option 1: Post-Purchase Equity SaleYou obtain the 203(k) loan in your name as the owner-occupant.After closing, you sell your partner 50% equity in the property via a quitclaim deed or similar legal instrument.Your partnership agreement would outline each person’s roles, responsibilities, and share of profits.Note: Be mindful of FHA’s rules around title changes and ensure this doesn’t violate loan terms.Option 2: Partnership Contribution AgreementYou both contribute to the down payment and renovation costs as outlined in a partnership agreement.Your partner’s contribution could be recognized as a share of the equity in exchange for funding, services, or property management.The partnership agreement would detail how profits, responsibilities, and equity are split.Option 3: Joint Venture AgreementStructure the deal as a joint venture, where you own the property personally (required for the FHA loan), but profits and roles are split per a formal agreement.Your partner could receive equity-like compensation through profit-sharing without being on the title.3.
