1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080
You've been searching for the best way to generate passive income in your life.
2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.640
And heard that real estate is a great way to do it.
3
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:15.840
But you're tired of all the so-called gurus who are all talked in no substance.
4
00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:22.120
Get ready to celebrate because Kevin Buck has spent 14 years successfully making it happen.

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.280
Now, here's Kevin Buck.
7
00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:34.320
Hey guys, Kevin Buck here and I want to look at another episode of the real estate investing
8
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.920
for Cash Flow Podcast.
9
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.200
For missions to help you build and maintain massive amounts of cash flow through income
10
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:41.760
producing real estate investments.
11
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.600
And our guest for this week's show is Well Advisor and Investment Strategist, Frank
12
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.600
Hanna.
13
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.720
Now Frank is the founder and CEO of Revolution Exchange and advisory firm that provides consulting
14
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:55.880
and turn key solutions to real estate owners that are considering a 1031 exchange upon
15
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:57.600
the sale of their asset.
16
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.440
Revolution Exchange generally provides clients access to pre-vetted properties, but also
17
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:05.480
works with them to help navigate through the sometimes arduous process associated with
18
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:06.480
a 1031 exchange.
19
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.520
And so with that, guys, I'd like to welcome our guest for today's show, Frank Hanna.
20
00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:12.280
Frank, how are you doing today?
21
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:13.280
I'm doing great, Kevin.
22
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.280
How are you?
23
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.280
I'm excited to have you here.
24
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.880
My friend excited to have you here as we just work our way through the holidays.
25
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:18.880
It's January 2nd.
26
00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:23.040
And we've got a fresh start here, so excited to chat about you and your business and learn
27
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.320
a little bit more about what you have got, what you guys have going on over there.
28
00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:31.880
But I'd say before we go into the, you know, maybe the, you know, the deep ends right off
29
00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:36.400
the cliff into DSDs and 1031s, let's talk a little bit about your background, Frank.
30
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.480
You know, I had an opportunity to read through your bio.
31
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.240
You've done quite a bit over the years and you got some pretty cool things, you know,
32
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:45.480
pretty cool things that you've done and they have happening with Revolution Exchange.
33
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.360
So maybe tell us a little bit more about your background yourself and then also Revolution
34
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:50.920
Exchange, if you would.
35
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.520
Yeah, perfect.
36
00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:53.520
Thanks, Kevin.
37
00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:58.960
Yeah, so, you know, keep it high level and won't bug you down with too much information.
38
00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:03.560
But I grew up in the restaurant, hospitality, hotel space, did that for years.
39
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:10.040
So got a good kind of crash course on, you know, that side of the business, tax planning,
40
00:02:10.040 --> 00:02:17.960
those type of asset classes and did that day to day operation for my family's restaurants,
41
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.720
nightclubs, catering facilities, realized pretty quickly that I didn't want to do that
42
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:29.240
forever and decided that I kind of wanted to segue into another aspect of the business
43
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:36.760
and had built a lot of great relationships by doing, doing that job for years and had gotten,
44
00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:42.320
as I said, some good exposure on overall financial tax planning side of things, the benefits
45
00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:49.660
of owning real estate and basically kind of set up a side entity that was kind of a side
46
00:02:49.660 --> 00:02:53.880
job in the beginning and then allowed me to step out of the day to day operations of
47
00:02:53.880 --> 00:03:00.400
the family business and build on those relationships to be able to give, you know, the fast moving
48
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:07.640
entrepreneur, objective, transparent, independent advice as it relates to, you know, all aspects
49
00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:12.640
of real estate investment, but ultimately, you know, taxes move the needle.
50
00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:13.640
It's not what you make.
51
00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:14.640
It's what you keep.
52
00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:20.880
So a lot of our consulting and advice we give is driven by taxes, right?
53
00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:29.960
So they started that business probably 2009 and we've grown to over a billion dollars
54
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.800
and assets under management.
55
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.960
I'd say almost half of it is, you know, syndicated real estate deals in a variety of different
56
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:43.120
capacities, some of which being 1031 type deals, DSTs and the like.
57
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.520
All righty, well, well, fantastic.
58
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.960
So yeah, no, I appreciate that background and this curious as to, you know, making the
59
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:54.120
pivot out of the, you know, the restaurant industry and it's not like it was generational.
60
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.120
Was that was that a tough thing to get away from or was it kind of, man, I've had enough
61
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.600
from moving on.
62
00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:00.920
Hey, it was tough.
63
00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:07.000
I joke and, you know, I say it took me five years to like wiggle my way out of the day
64
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.000
to day operations.
65
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.080
My father was like just one of those guys that was like, Hey, you're an idiot.
66
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:17.800
If you don't take the, take the bull by the horns or run with this opportunity and, you
67
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.280
know, quite frankly, he, he was really upset when I left.
68
00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:28.080
And so I managed to get out of the way, get out of the business and it was tumultuous,
69
00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:33.040
you know, six or 12 months trying to convince him that this was the right move for me.
70
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.200
But I still tell him to this day, I'm like, thank God, I'm still not there running those
71
00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:39.200
operations for you.
72
00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:46.560
But yeah, it's a family owned business and we were buttonheads and, you know, I, I'm
73
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.280
a big advocate and supporter for people that are successful and those type of businesses
74
00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:57.280
where it's, you know, a lot of, you know, a lot of hours and the beast never sleeps.
75
00:04:57.280 --> 00:04:58.280
That's it.
76
00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:02.080
I think that's, you know, where, where my question you'll ultimately derive from, at least
77
00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:06.720
a certain portion of it was just the, the difference of lifestyle, you know, I mean,
78
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.680
I, I, yeah, the younger age, you know, I, you know, tended bars, weighted tables, things
79
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:11.680
like that.
80
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:16.960
I mean, you get the initial exposure to that business and, and you get to meet folks that
81
00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:21.200
have been generational in the business, right, for different places I work for and I just,
82
00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:23.840
it's tiring, you know, it's weekends aren't off, right?
83
00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:29.920
Like that's the busy time and it's, it's, it's a 12 to 14 sometime longer hour a day,
84
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.360
seven days a week type endeavor.
85
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.280
So anyway, just was curious there, but I'm glad to see everything worked out and you got
86
00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:36.280
some cool things happening.
87
00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:40.600
So, you know, let's talk about, yeah, let's, you know, I guess first and foremost, the,
88
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:47.040
the, you know, you're not the, you're not the, the first intermediary out there.
89
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.160
There's, there's many other different groups that, that have similar services to that
90
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.800
of revolution exchange or let, you know, maybe speak more specifically to what really,
91
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.160
what sets you guys apart, what, what were the, what was the challenge you saw or the opportunity
92
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.120
that you saw that, that, that said, hey, I can do this a little better.
93
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.880
I can, I can, I've got a better way to skin that cat.
94
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:08.960
Yeah, exactly.
95
00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:15.280
So we, we, you know, we, we had some proven systems, you know, we started investing in real estate,
96
00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:22.240
started in like single family homes, doing flips, then we started doing, you know,
97
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.840
single family home communities.
98
00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:28.360
We started doing essential retail, triple net lease, invest investment.
99
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:33.120
We did hotels in industrial, you know, you name it.
100
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:39.640
And ultimately, we, we felt like we were, you know, really cognitive numbers guys.
101
00:06:39.640 --> 00:06:43.320
And we, we had a system we felt, felt worked.
102
00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:50.360
So when we're absolutely not the only game in town that utilizes, you know, tax solutions
103
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:56.120
like Delaware statutory trusts, but I think any real estate, your deal you're in is dependent
104
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.400
on the quality of the underlying asset, right?
105
00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:03.080
And the absolutely new diligence you do and putting together the deal.
106
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.520
So, you know, in my business, you, you kind of, when you're in the financial services space,
107
00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:15.600
you affiliate with a broker dealer and although most probably give you access to some of
108
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.920
these type of deals, you know, it doesn't mean that they're the right deal for you.
109
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.760
So we invested a ton of time, money and energy, kind of vetting the marketplace across the
110
00:07:24.760 --> 00:07:29.480
country and applied our systems to the deals that were out there.
111
00:07:29.640 --> 00:07:37.400
And basically created what I feel is the most conservative, robust menu of options that are
112
00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:43.320
out there. We do have, you know, at any given time, probably 15 or 20 Delaware statutory
113
00:07:43.320 --> 00:07:48.440
trusts deals that meet the 1031 exchange criteria and we have our asset classes that we
114
00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:53.240
really like. And they're, you know, they're in pretty high demand for somebody that's coming
115
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.400
out of a 1031 exchange and can't find the right property and sometimes it's the right fit,
116
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.360
but it's not always the right fit for the investor.
117
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.320
Yeah, let's, you just brought up an interesting point. I'd like to hit on just, you know,
118
00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:09.480
I, and we don't need to go through the basics of what a 1031 exchange is. I think most folks
119
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:14.760
that are tuning in here have a general understanding of what that is and when to, you know,
120
00:08:14.760 --> 00:08:18.840
to take advantage of it. And so I guess more specifically, you know, what are,
121
00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:23.880
what are some of the advantages of a Delaware statutory trust over a, you know, a single property
122
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:28.760
1031 exchange. So instead of selling my house, my rental property and, and, you know,
123
00:08:28.760 --> 00:08:32.760
doing a light kind exchange into it, maybe a, you know, maybe a duplex or try, you know,
124
00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:36.120
another similar type of residential property that I'm going to run and manage.
125
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.720
I mean, what's, where's some of the pros and cons of going to DSD route?
126
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:48.920
Yeah, well, I would say the pros are again, it will provide you a complete tax deferred exchange,
127
00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:54.760
just like a traditional 1031 exchange, but it'll give you access to potentially some higher
128
00:08:54.760 --> 00:09:00.200
quality institutional grade assets that, you know, you and me might not be able to purchase
129
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:06.280
ourselves outright. So it allows investors to pull their money into these syndicated
130
00:09:06.280 --> 00:09:12.440
deals and essentially get passive tax favored monthly income. So you get a lot of the benefits
131
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:17.160
that you would normally, but you give up the property management responsibilities, which is
132
00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:22.440
typically one of the more appealing options, right? So these deals, I'd say, you know, are more
133
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.520
popular with the 50 and up crowd, people that have made some, or created some wealth in real estate
134
00:09:28.520 --> 00:09:34.520
and are just trying to simplify things. So you can get rid of, you know, the tenants, the toilets
135
00:09:34.520 --> 00:09:40.520
and the taxes, and you can get passive tax favored income and the ability to
136
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.120
participate in appreciation of the asset, typically where the rubber meets the road and we,
137
00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:52.040
we, you know, determine whether this is the right type of fit for the investor is one. If
138
00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:58.280
you're a control investor, you like managing it, the property, and you want the, you know,
139
00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:04.680
ability to be able to sell at any given point in time, you know, the passive DST or Delaware
140
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:11.880
Sash George Trust option is not always the best option because you're stuck in kind of riding
141
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.280
shotgun with us throughout the life of the deal, which has a projected holding period,
142
00:10:16.280 --> 00:10:21.400
but it's not set in stone, right? So you, you might be with us for four, five, six, seven years,
143
00:10:21.400 --> 00:10:27.880
depending on when we feel the best opportunity to exit the program is. So there's certainly a lack
144
00:10:27.880 --> 00:10:35.240
of liquidity, which you need to be aware of. But again, with our deals, you can typically go in as
145
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.720
little as 50,000. So you can, you can achieve incredible diversification. So when somebody comes back
146
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:47.480
and says, Hey, Frank, you know, I don't necessarily want to be hanging in one deal for, you know,
147
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:53.800
that length of time, we have different types of deals that are staggered and projected length.
148
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:59.880
And what, what ends up happening is we kind of have like a mirrored bond portfolio. If that makes
149
00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:05.560
sense, Kevin. So if we put in, you know, a million dollars, we might put, we might diversify that
150
00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:11.400
across three, four, five deals. And then typically, once we get to year three or year four, it's not
151
00:11:11.400 --> 00:11:17.320
uncommon for us to contact the investor. And so hey, you know, we page a, you know, five, six
152
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:22.440
percent along the way, we are exiting and selling, whether you like it or not, and you have the
153
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:29.240
opportunity to do another tax deferred exchange into hard real estate. You could do another Delaware
154
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:35.080
statutory trust with us, or somebody else, or you can cash out and pay the taxes. So I think
155
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:41.480
it accomplishes most of the benefits of a traditional exchange, but the, you know, the major drawback
156
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.840
is you give up, you know, control and decision making responsibilities. So yeah, if you enjoy
157
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:51.640
dealing with, you know, the, you know, late payments, handing out notices, showing up for an
158
00:11:51.640 --> 00:11:56.920
eviction court, you know, you know, the conduit between all the handyman and repairman and vendors
159
00:11:57.160 --> 00:12:01.960
that need to come fixture unit. Then if you enjoy that, then this might not be a good fit for you.
160
00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:06.760
Yeah. Yeah. I think I think there's an evolution that most investors go through. You know, they,
161
00:12:06.760 --> 00:12:11.720
I went through the same thing, you know, two decades ago and ran a, you know, build up a portfolio
162
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.360
of single-family properties and got to the point where I had about 35 of them where it was like,
163
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.840
what the hell am I? I mean, like it just, it was way too much. It was overwhelming. Didn't have
164
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:25.320
a lot of good systems in place and got burned out pretty quick. All right, some good people,
165
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.920
but then realized that like it was just, there was a better way to do it, you know, property
166
00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:33.080
management is not a sexy game. It's not even all that profitable of a game, you know, it's, it's,
167
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.480
yeah, I like to refer to as a necessary evil. You know, we have a fairly large property management
168
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:42.440
company today, but it's because of our own portfolio, but it's not, yeah, it's definitely not the
169
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:49.400
the bright shiny object of the of the company. Yeah, yeah, very, very similar. We sold off our entire
170
00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:56.120
single-family home portfolio and, and kind of scaled up in some bigger, bigger opportunities
171
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.200
just to make it make sense because yeah, whether you've got a small, you know,
172
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:06.680
community of a dozen homes or a hundred, it's the same, same type of headaches and responsibilities,
173
00:13:06.680 --> 00:13:13.960
but that's right. Yeah. So what's the average length of your typical DST investment? I mean,
174
00:13:14.040 --> 00:13:20.360
is there, is there an end all be all like term to where, you know, these things run their course,
175
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:27.160
or is it all so great answer in the deal itself? Yeah, it depends on the sponsor. We have partners
176
00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:33.560
that will potentially buy out investors if they need to be, you know, fit into a certain spot.
177
00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:38.680
I'd say in the low end, we have deals that are targeted for three years. That's kind of like our
178
00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:45.320
shortest deal. And then if you get into, you know, more diversified triple, and at least type 10
179
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:49.560
it with long term leases, those will go out a little longer. So those might be a seven to eight
180
00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:56.760
year type deal, but I'm glad you brought that up, Kevin. So as we can all relate, you know, the real
181
00:13:56.760 --> 00:14:02.920
estate industry is kind of an uncharted territory, right, with, with compressed cap rates,
182
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:09.640
rapidly rising interest rates, lack of inventory. So what we are seeing is people that otherwise
183
00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:15.960
might not be a candidate for a DST saying, hey, I've got an opportunity to sell my asset at a premium
184
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:21.240
right now, right? I absolutely do not want to pay the capital gains taxes, but I can't find
185
00:14:21.880 --> 00:14:28.760
an asset to do a 1031 exchange. So what they're doing is using our short term deals, kind of as like
186
00:14:28.760 --> 00:14:34.920
a landing spot, you know, I'll sell a premium, let the market adjust and let some of these sellers,
187
00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:39.880
you know, come back down to earth with what they think their properties are worth, then reassess the
188
00:14:39.880 --> 00:14:45.240
market in the next couple of years. And their plan of action is to go back out into hard real estate.
189
00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:51.080
So I don't, you know, we've got a ton of deals this year, which I think if if there was a hard
190
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.360
asset out there that made sense that fit what they were looking for, they probably would have gone
191
00:14:54.520 --> 00:15:00.520
in that direction, but they're kind of looking at us as a landing spot, parking spot, whatever you
192
00:15:00.520 --> 00:15:06.040
want to call it, just to preserve the step up and basis. Yeah, well, it talked to me about some of the,
193
00:15:06.040 --> 00:15:11.400
you know, what asset class is really hot right now? I mean, it's a multi-family, you know,
194
00:15:11.400 --> 00:15:17.160
that in industry, or are they still too like darling asset classes? Yeah, I think I think
195
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:24.920
industrials cool a little bit with, you know, simply high inflationary environment, multi-family,
196
00:15:24.920 --> 00:15:31.560
I think even though cap rates have affected that, I think the cost of home purchasing right now
197
00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:37.320
is so high and I think that's spread between the average cost of rent versus the annual,
198
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:43.240
or I'm sorry, the monthly cost of rent versus the monthly cost of a mortgage for the same exact
199
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.920
size property is over a thousand dollars a month. It's never been higher. So it's it's
200
00:15:48.920 --> 00:15:53.320
pricing people out of the market. So I do think in the right markets, multi-families
201
00:15:53.880 --> 00:16:00.600
going to continue to be hot. You know, I like, you know, self storage, you know, in the right
202
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:06.520
market, it's a pretty recession-proof asset class. I think, you know, office is definitely out
203
00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:13.400
in, I would say, you know, hotel, we do a lot in the hotel space. I think they, you know,
204
00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:20.520
they obviously took it on the chin during COVID, but I think, I think there's still some real good
205
00:16:20.520 --> 00:16:26.760
opportunities out there to be able to get a decent price, you know, for that type of asset class.
206
00:16:26.760 --> 00:16:33.160
And I love, I was looking at your website. I love module housing communities in the right,
207
00:16:33.160 --> 00:16:38.520
right markets. And I love build for rent. So build for rent, I guess, is still multi-family,
208
00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:45.480
but a different, you know, kind of niche there. Yeah. So yeah, exactly. You know, give you a little
209
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:51.160
give you a little yard to take your dog out. And now, so that I would say there's build for rent,
210
00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:56.600
you know, modular housing. I guess any any facet of multi-family, we're still big on. And I
211
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:03.080
still think industrial is going to be good long-term. And then hospitality and self-storage,
212
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:12.200
I still think give right opportunities or solid. The these investments, do they typically have debt
213
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:18.280
tied to them? Or they are most of the time they all cash, cash equity. Yeah, I'd say maybe half
214
00:17:18.280 --> 00:17:24.200
and half. So some of our deals have, you know, fixed rate financing, we're not doing floating rate
215
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:29.240
stuff. So we're getting pretty favorable financing opportunities. I would say what has changed
216
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:34.920
over the last few years is the loan to value. So we're not borrowing as much on these deals.
217
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:42.440
It's relatively conservative. So I would say that's, you know, on the DST, you kind of have to go in
218
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:48.920
with with fixed financing and you can't adjust that, you know, mortgage long term on some of our
219
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:56.680
deals that are not DSTs and they're more, you know, limited partnerships or LLCs where people
220
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:03.240
can come in with cash, you know, again, same thing. Some of them, we're not financing. Some of them
221
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:08.840
we are, you know, we've got a few deals where people come in and we kind of use investors capital
222
00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:15.560
is kind of like a bridge loan, so to speak, to get some short term relief and give the investors
223
00:18:15.560 --> 00:18:20.760
a nice return and then basically use that fixed financing to come in and take out the preferred
224
00:18:20.760 --> 00:18:25.880
investors. So we've got a lot of good options, all shapes and sizes and different timelines,
225
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:31.640
because, you know, the common pushback on most deals is, you know, nobody knows what the future holds
226
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:35.960
and they don't necessarily want to be hanging out five, six, seven, ten years.
227
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.080
Right, right now, absolutely. You know, I think you had you had answered my question, you know,
228
00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:50.440
at the end of a particular DST investment sponsored sides to sell the asset, do I have the option
229
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:58.600
to 1031 my proceeds again? Can I keep rolling that into other DSTs? Okay. Yeah, so you have all
230
00:18:58.600 --> 00:19:03.080
the same decisions that you had coming out as you did going in, right? So you can do a complete
231
00:19:03.080 --> 00:19:09.400
tax deferred exchange into another Delaware statutory trust program or a hardware real estate.
232
00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:16.520
And again, the kind of running joke is swap to your drop or. Yeah, that's a good point.
233
00:19:16.520 --> 00:19:21.080
Is there is there another strategy outside of swap to your drop? Like I wouldn't ask the question,
234
00:19:21.080 --> 00:19:26.280
you just brought it up before I had a chance to. So are there? Yeah, I mean, is there other strategies
235
00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:31.960
outside of like, you know, I'm going through my third exchange. I just I really, you know,
236
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:36.360
for whatever reason, I just don't want to exchange to another, you know, hard real estate asset.
237
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.840
But ultimately now I've got this massive tax burden that's been following me along for
238
00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:45.960
these many, many years. What's what's the alternative options? Yeah, great question. So I'd say,
239
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:52.360
I'd say, you know, high level, we're really the only two opportunities or some level of like
240
00:19:52.360 --> 00:19:58.040
tax harvesting rate. So if you're going to sell out of a asset that's going to create capital gains,
241
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:03.000
you know, and you don't want to pay the tax, you know, potentially you might have capital
242
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:08.920
losses elsewhere that you can kind of tax harvest and offset that. You know, there's there's
243
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.040
other investments that are out there, qualified opportunity zones where you essentially can take
244
00:20:14.040 --> 00:20:19.080
instead of having to roll the entire investment and doing a traditional 1031 exchange,
245
00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:25.560
you can just take the gain and, you know, typically a fraction of the total dollar amount.
246
00:20:25.560 --> 00:20:30.760
And there's still some tax benefits to that type of strategy. But I would say yet, you know,
247
00:20:30.760 --> 00:20:37.480
the common, you know, for the for the wealthier people that don't need the money, you know,
248
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:43.160
almost always they decide to continue to defer. And again, if they pass away with the asset,
249
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:49.160
their errors can can sell the asset after the day to death and get that complete step up
250
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:55.800
in basis. So the tax is completely minimal. One other thing I'll add is, you know, Delaware statutory
251
00:20:55.800 --> 00:21:02.120
trusts can be helpful for a state planning, right? So if you've got a hard piece of land,
252
00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:06.600
you leave it to your three kids, they ultimately have to come to an agreement on what they're
253
00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:12.040
going to do with that asset, right? One of them might want to keep the asset, one of them might
254
00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:18.200
want to sell it, might want one might be indifferent, but it can create, you know, tension between
255
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:24.760
the kids. If they pass away, they get fractional shares of the DST asset. So one could say, hey,
256
00:21:24.760 --> 00:21:30.120
Frank, this has been a great experience. I'm going to do another 1031 DST with you. You know,
257
00:21:30.120 --> 00:21:35.400
the sister could say, you know what? I'm going to, I'm going to do a 1031, but I want to go buy a
258
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:39.320
hard piece of real estate on my own. And the third sibling could say, hey, you know what? I'm going to
259
00:21:39.320 --> 00:21:46.840
cash out and go, you know, invest in something else on the run. So it is, it is, you know, simpler,
260
00:21:46.840 --> 00:21:51.960
I guess, from an inherited standpoint on that type of program. Got it, got it.
261
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:57.000
Are there any, you know, speaking to like any regulatory risk associated with, you know, 1031s,
262
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:02.280
with that, you know, that section of IRS code changing? Is there any, I know that that was some
263
00:22:02.280 --> 00:22:07.080
chatter when the current administration got in the office and it just kind of, I don't know,
264
00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:10.440
I haven't, I haven't really followed it too much. It's still here, it's still around, but I mean,
265
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.800
obviously you would know much, much more than I as far as, you know, are there any, you know, risk
266
00:22:15.800 --> 00:22:21.640
coming down the pike that we're aware of? I don't think so. I feel a lot better today than I
267
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:26.200
did a few years ago when they were hot on it. So the 1031 exchange has been around for over 100
268
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:33.720
years. It's been on the docket for a number of administrations to cap it, limit it, take it away.
269
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:41.160
I think of all the administrations that are out there and the bipartisanship of, you know,
270
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:47.240
different, you know, parties that are out there, everybody typically has some amount of wealth
271
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:52.280
and real estate. And I think they've acknowledged that capping that, taking that away would
272
00:22:52.280 --> 00:23:00.280
completely create the real estate industry. So even your, you know, hardest pro-tax legislators that
273
00:23:00.280 --> 00:23:05.560
are out there, I think they realize that that's not a smart move and that's not going to help things.
274
00:23:05.560 --> 00:23:10.680
So although they were hot on that, they've created some other language in these type programs
275
00:23:11.080 --> 00:23:17.320
that really came, came to light, you know, a few years ago, the first time it was going around,
276
00:23:17.320 --> 00:23:22.040
but I'm not worried about it. I think we're, we're good to go, but I would tell investors,
277
00:23:22.040 --> 00:23:25.800
I did have investors that cashed out paid a ton of taxes because they just thought, hey,
278
00:23:25.800 --> 00:23:30.360
they might take it away. So I'm just going to do it anyway, which they've kind of got egg on
279
00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:37.560
their face on now, now that they extended it. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I would not have
280
00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:41.000
expected there would have been like a frenzy of folks cashing out. I would have thought that maybe
281
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.120
it just, you know, kind of let it set and, you know, ultimately if it goes away, it goes away,
282
00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:48.040
it just means they've got to figure out an alternative solution. Yeah, I wouldn't say it was a frenzy,
283
00:23:48.040 --> 00:23:53.160
but I did have some people that just, you know, dooms, doomsdayers that are, you know,
284
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:58.440
worlds going to end and I'd rather, I'd rather cash out pay my tax and bury the remainder in my
285
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:05.400
backyard. So I would say that was not the majority, but some people were just, they get hung up on
286
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:10.040
the unknown of what's going to happen next and I can't plan for the future because I don't know
287
00:24:10.040 --> 00:24:16.360
what the laws are going to be. We're a big advocate of taking current law and planning for today.
288
00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:25.400
Is there any way to do a, like a reverse 1031 buy something now that ultimately, well, I guess buy
289
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:31.640
into a DST now before I've sold my exchange property and then just basically do it in reverse.
290
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:40.600
I know 1031 exists, but like can you also factor in a DST? Yeah, you can still do it. You know,
291
00:24:40.600 --> 00:24:45.560
again, we're not, we're not, I'm not a qualified intermediate area. So the qualified intermediate
292
00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:53.000
area is that unaffiliated third party individual that holds, holds the funds in that transaction.
293
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:59.960
So we're more on the replacement side of things, but you certainly can do a reverse 1031 exchange
294
00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:06.680
where you purchase the property that you want now and then go to sell the asset. It's definitely
295
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:11.720
a little more complicated maneuver and it's a little bit more costly when you go to the qualified
296
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:17.000
intermediary. And that's where I think it's, it's critical to get the right firm that knows what
297
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:22.520
they're doing because there's a lot of intermediaries out there and a lot don't know what they're doing
298
00:25:22.520 --> 00:25:29.320
on the reverse exchange side of things. So if any of your listeners are contemplating that,
299
00:25:29.320 --> 00:25:33.480
even though we're not intermediaries, I could certainly guide them in the right direction to
300
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:39.560
the right people to make sure that that works out. Okay. Frank, is there anything else that we
301
00:25:39.560 --> 00:25:44.360
haven't maybe touched on the day that you feel is relevant of importance for our listeners to know
302
00:25:44.360 --> 00:25:49.880
about you, your group, what does you guys do? Anything that comes to your mind? Yeah, now I appreciate it.
303
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:55.400
Yeah, I think, I honestly think we're a really incredible resource hub, even if you're not in
304
00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:01.800
the market for a DST or you're not in the middle of a 1031 exchange. Maybe you're just looking
305
00:26:01.800 --> 00:26:07.240
to find capital. You know, we're a great market maker for relationships for people that are either
306
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:16.920
looking to borrow, buy or sell. And above and beyond that, outside of the 1031, you know, DST
307
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:22.600
business, we do a substantial amount of, you know, accelerated depreciation, tax favor, tax
308
00:26:22.600 --> 00:26:28.440
deductible type opportunities. So you and I, Kevin, are probably think alike on a lot of fronts
309
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:34.200
and even though we're, you know, probably doing some of the same type of deals confident that we
310
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:40.200
could be a great resource for somebody that is just looking for a little guidance regardless
311
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:45.720
of where they are on either side of the transaction. Yeah, with that, I mean, for those that want to
312
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:51.160
