Non-Safe Harbor Parking Arrangements for 1031 Exchanges

Accruit performs many safe harbor reverse exchanges (also known as parking arrangements) for taxpayers.  The safe harbor transactions fit within the parameters of the safe harbor created in September 2000 by Revenue Procedure 2000-37 and governs those transactions in which the property is parked no longer than 180 days.  However, there are instances in which, for a number of reasons, the ...

16th Kratovil Conference on Real Estate Law & Practice

on Wed, 10/10/2018 - 10:44   Mark Flanagan
The John Marshall Law School

Today, Accruit Associate General Counsel Jordan Born joins scholars, practitioners and other industry professionals at the 16th Kratovil Conference on Real Estate Law & Practice at The John Marshall Law School to discuss potential changes in land use to meet the needs of the commercial real estate industry.

From the conference titled, An Inflection Point in Land Development? Private & Public Conditions Considered:

Privately created restrictions on use and affirmative responsibilities—those covenants running with the land—structure condominiums and homeowner associations, retail shopping centers, and other real property in such a way that the rights and duties of owners and users stand in the way of the future needs of society. Likewise in the public sector, established land development conditions—exactions, impact fees, in-lieu fees—that may have once made sense may no longer support today's land-use goals and policies.

Earnest Money versus Down Payment – What’s the Difference?

on Tue, 10/02/2018 - 15:42   Steve Chacon
Earnest Money versus Down Payments

As a provider of escrow services, Accruit is experienced in facilitating all types and levels of transactions.  Whether simple or complex, it’s important to understand some of the terminology used. Two terms common to the sale and purchase of real estate are “earnest money” and “down payment.” In this blog post, I will review the definitions of each of these terms and how they are used in the context of real estate and escrow.  

What is Earnest Money?

According to Merriam-Webster, earnest money has various definitions, including:

  • a serious and intent mental state
  • something of value given by a buyer to a seller to bind a bargain
  • a token of what is

Seller Financing in a 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange

on Thu, 09/27/2018 - 08:32   Martin Edwards
Seller Financing 1031 Exchange

In a sale of real estate, it’s common for the seller, the taxpayer in a 1031 exchange, to receive money down from the buyer in the sale and to carry a note for the additional sum due. The taxpayer facilitates financing for the buyer in this way to make the transaction happen. Sometimes this arrangement is entered into because both parties wish to close, but the buyer’s conventional financing is taking more time than expected. If the buyer can...

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and its Effects on 1031 Exchanges

on Tue, 09/25/2018 - 16:08   Jordan Born
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Impact on 1031 Exchanges

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) that took effect on January 1, 2018 was a major overhaul of the Internal Revenue Code. Late in 2017, while changes to Section 1031 were being contemplated by Congress, Accruit posted this blog article concerning some of the proposed amendments or even total repeal of Section 1031 being contemplated in Washington, D.C. and the potential adverse effects on tax deferred exchanges.

Fortunately, the TCJA passed by Congress and signed into law by the President generally preserved ...
