Did you miss the April 15 tax deadline? Are you safe from significant penalties? What’s the best way to legally, morally, and ethically not pay taxes? It depends. Jeff Webb, Tax Director, and Eliot Thomas, Senior Tax Advisor, of Anderson Advisors answer your tax questions. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

If you experience a one-time large capital gain from exercising stock options, is it absolutely imperative that you figure out quarterly payments to avoid penalty, and if so, what if you missed April? There’s a safe harbor for calculating tax estimates and it requires paying in 90% of the current year tax or 110% of the prior year tax; and estimated tax penalties are typical not significant, but handle missed payment soon

What is the best way to take advantage of Section 179 for new vehicles over 6,000 pounds? Typically, most people do not use Section 179 because of bonus depreciation, restrictions, and limitations

How are crypto currencies taxed, and what’s the best way to legally, morally, and ethically not pay taxes? Depends on how you are getting the crypto currency; if you are buying and selling, it is treated as a security and other rules apply; if you are mining crypto currency, find out the value of that crypto bitcoin the day it is created

What will happen if you open an LLC with Corp status but you missed the deadline? What should you do? If you missed the tax deadline and have a loss on your Corp, it typically doesn’t affect you; if you have a lot of startup costs, you need to file your initial tax return on time

Does tax on depreciation recapture, like capital gains, go away when property is inherited? When you inherit property, everything resets and goes away, like capital gains

Do I have to report a home I lived in and sold even though I purchased a new home? Previous Section 121 states as long as you buy a more expensive home than the one you sold, you can defer any gain until the age of 55; Section 121 now states if you lived in the home for two of last five years, you can defer a large part or all the gain

If you are a real estate investor, you’ve probably been thinking about multifamily investing because there’s going to be scale in that space. Start house hacking and raise capital!

Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Matt Faircloth from the DeRosa Group about how to get started in multifamily investing. Matt is a full-time investor and has successfully completed projects involving fix and flips, single family homes, apartment complexes, and office buildings.

Also, Matt is a regular contributor and podcast guest on BiggerPockets and has an active YouTube Channel dedicated to educating investors. He is the author of Raising Private Capital - How to Build Your Real Estate Empire with Other People's Money.

Highlights/Topics:

Getting Started: Matt read Rich Dad Poor Dad and discovered the power of passive investing, creating assets, and not trading hours for dollars.

Bigger and Better Deals: Matt and his wife didn’t get into real estate to start investing in multifamily, but worked their way up into larger deals with apartment complexes.

Self-managed Properties: Matt learned about tenant relations, how to select tenants, and what it takes to manage and scale single-family properties for a small portfolio of rentals.

Best Bang for Your Buck: Start with a small multifamily deal because it’s cheap debt and very little money down.

Real Estate Syndication: Scale into larger multifamily assets faster by selling equity and raising capital.

Words of Wisdom: Observe the masses and do the opposite to be competitive.

Affordability Analysis: What’s the median income in the city and surrounding area of multifamily space?

Can tenants afford a rent increase to justify improvements? Property management companies tend to approve tenants that make more than 3x the rent as their earned income before taxes.

50/50 Mix: Matt recommends seeking multifamily properties with a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, then add amenities, such as family oriented and pet parks.

Self-manage vs. Property Management Companies: Depends on if you want to stay small and retain control or reduce vacancy rates and execute business plan to scale.

Affordable/Low-Income Housing: Owners should perform due diligence because despite the stigma, tenants don’t want to lose their Section 8 status. They must follow rules or face penalties and be evicted. Low-income housing tax credits can be lucrative.

Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

I would like to make my investment condo my primary residence for tax benefits upon its sale - without sleeping there 731 days over five years.

How can I take profits out of an S Corp without paying a lot in taxes? If you are the 100% shareholder of the S Corp, whatever profit that S Corp has, that’s your income and you pay tax on that income, regardless of whether you take money out of that S Corp or not

How do you account for remodeling expenses versus maintenance expenses for a rental property? Maintenance expenses or repairs are expenses for keeping the asset at its current value; remodeling expenses are improvements such as renovations or a betterment to increase the value of the asset

Can an employer contribute to a profit-sharing retirement plan if there was no profit for the year? It has nothing to do with profit, but it does help to have profit to pay the contributions or create a loss

If my business and house are in my revocable living trust when I die, what kind of tax will my kids (the beneficiaries) have to pay on getting the business or the house?

How do underwriters evaluate loans to LLCs or land trusts? By effectively guiding a loan from application through underwriting to a successful closing and helping mortgage lenders comply with regulations.  

Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Andrew Duane, Associate Attorney at Polunsky Beitel Green, LLP. Andrew’s focus on lender support includes file underwriting, complex loan products, and post-closing matters.

Andrew is Due Diligence Certified (DDC) by the International Due Diligence Organization and a professional member of the State Bar of Texas. Previously, he worked with the firm’s document review and preparation team while attending law school.

Highlights/Topics:

What if a client or investor wants to refinance a transaction and pull property out of a land trust? Find a lender willing to refinance the property in the name of the trust.

Why create a living trust? You don't want to tell the lender to move it out of the trust and have another effect on their asset protection portfolio or other kinds of disastrous effects.

What was the solution? Convert the land trust into a living trust because all trusts can be amended and restated.

What is Andrew’s role? He is an attorney that represents lenders. He doesn’t represent individual borrowers, but banks and lenders closing home loans in the State of Texas.

Why does Andrew perform underwriting and review guidelines? What are lenders like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac experiencing on origination? Andrew backs up, not just the closing process, but that underwriting process.

Why is Andrew’s firm the backstop for lenders? There are other attorneys that do this. When the underwriter gets a document such as a land trust or limited liability company (LLC), they don't understand it and want to make sure it is legitimate and can be used.

When the loan originator/lender can't sell it, they don't want to hold it. They don’t deal with that land trust? When investors/clients talk to their loan officers, Fannie Mae requires direct negotiation for the land trust. Freddie Mac doesn't. Freddie buys the land trust where they are statutorily authorized and the individual beneficiary is the borrower.

If the property was in an LLC and it's a residential loan, would it get across the goal line? It’s doubtful. Fannie and Freddie do not allow for LLCs. In their general borrower eligibility section, they like a natural person.Then, they make exceptions. An LLC for people selling to Fannie and Freddie isn’t possible because it’s a residential mortgage.

If you put it into a land trust and the land trust is owned by the LLC, you can convert the land trust to a living trust, get the loan, and it doesn’t state your name? If you're thinking about your structures and you plan to refinance the property, if you don't want it in your name, consider using a land trust held by an LLC for your asset protection.

If you buy or close on new investment property, are there any traps to be aware of before going to the lender? Get your documentation ready to go. If it's closing in a trust, check with the attorney that did it. If it's been a few years, it might be time to restate and update it. It makes the process smoother all around for borrowers and lenders.

What’s FHA’s anti-flipping provision? It’s in the HUD handbook. FHA is concerned that houses are going to get flipped for an artificial value and FHA will have to insure all of them. Guidelines and recommendations include waiting 180 days from the time that the deed is delivered, when they acquire legal ownership, to go under contract.

If you transfer property to yourself, deeded in the corporation, when you list it for sale, and a first-time homebuyer will not qualify because of that transfer? FHA wants the seller on record to be the person making the sale.

When it comes to putting deals together if you're a real estate investor, do you need an authorized signer? When selling a property that might be held in an LLC, or you're with a

From entity formation, income, and inheritance to losses, proceeds, and profits, Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors answer your tax questions. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

How does a single, high W-2 earning individual take advantage of passive losses? It’s difficult because passive losses for a high earner are going to be subject to limitations

How are inherited stock shares treated when sold? If you inherit stocks, they are valued at fair market value now, not when they were bought due to the step-up in basis

Should an S Corp pay profits as dividends? An S Corp does not pay dividends; it passes on profits and losses to shareholders

Is it preferable to have a C Corp or an LLC as your holding entity? It’s better to have an LLC as your holding entity; there’s no tax treatment for an LLC

Are proceeds received from winning a court case ($20 million) taxable? It depends on the source of the claim, as a matter of rule, and attorney fees are no longer deductible

Looking for land? It’s tough to find.So, where do you find the niches to find the riches to invest in raw land? 

 

Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Seth Williams, founder of REtipster, an online community that offers real-world guidance for real estate investors.

 

Seth discusses how he realized that land is probably the better way to go. It’s easier to find deals on land than houses and it costs a lot less.

Highlights/Topics:

 

Raw Land Investments: Low liability, low risk, no tenants, and property taxes are cheap.

What’s worth buying or not? Vacant land is simple, but is not easy.

Always Ask: Is the property zoned right? Are there restrictions? What are the setbacks?

Environmental Due Diligence: How much is spent on raw land development? A fortune.

DataTree: You can get most of the information you need without spending a fortune.

How to get started? Identify market, location, seller financing, state laws, and tax rules.

Where? New Mexico and Southwest—less complex and fewer variables to understand.

Invest to Sell: Market property with Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and Zillow FSBO.

Leads: Pros and cons of using direct mail, automated offers, and not knowing markets.

Highlights/Topics:

When you have a PLLC, what do you put on a personal or business credit card? If you have a business credit card that’s great, but a lot of the credit card companies are not willing to issue credit cards to new small businesses; use a personal credit card and make sure to separate personal and business expenses

Should I file a return with my kids as dependents or should they file their own return if they are paid from the family business?

People don’t like to talk about taxes or being separated from their money, especially because of the country’s complex tax system. So, how do the rich get richer? Learn a lesson from the super-rich about minimizing taxes and maximizing income and infinity investing.

In this episode, Toby Mathis of Anderson Advisors talks to Mike Consol, Editor of Real Assets Adviser – one of seven titles published by Institutional Real Estate, Inc. (IREI).

Mike is responsible for the magazine’s editorial content and production and has been a professional journalist since 1983. He has spent his entire career working for business publications.

Highlights/Topics:

How does the tax code system work in the United States where the rich get richer and the people of average means stay right where they are? There is a misunderstanding of what assets and liabilities are, and people end up buying more liabilities than assets.

Assets put money in your pockets. Every year, does it increase what’s in your bank account that you can buy groceries with, or does it take it away, like does it cost you money? If you use that analysis, you won’t be misled.

Tax Code Highlights: Incentivizes investing in specific types of assets and punishes you if all you have is ordinary income.

Social Security: Regressive taxes hurt the poor worse than they hurt the rich. The 15.3% tax is embedded in all earned income. Make other types of income that are not subject to that regressive tax. That’s your unearned, passive, and portfolio income.

Things written in the tax code are specific to an individual company or industry and given extremely gracious treatment. Sometimes, investments are not made based on fact and reason, but tax efficiency or tax break.

Cheat by Copying: What do rich people do? Diversification, which involves rents, royalties, dividends, interest, and short-term capital gains on sale of options.

Zero Corporate Tax: Don’t tax corporations but people. When the United States lowered its corporate tax, other countries followed. It created tremendous worldwide growth, but pushed wealth into the hands of very few people.

What is infinity investing? Changes the way you think of your net worth. How many days can you survive without working? Consider passive income sources so you never have to work again.
