Unlocking Tax Benefits and Passive Income through a 721 Exchange: CVC's Equity Swap Program
Are you a real estate investor or advisor looking to navigate the complexities of capital gains taxes while strategically growing your portfolio? The 721 Exchange strategy offers a sophisticated pathway to defer taxes and transition into passive, diversified real estate investments.
The Equity Swap: Your Strategic Tool for Growth
How does it work? Jonathan Walker, a partner at BD & Associates CPAs explains:
“A property owner transfers their investment or business real estate to a partnership, and in return, the property owner receives a partnership interest, commonly in the form of operating partnership units, which represent an equity owner stake in the partnership. The transaction qualifies for non-recognition of gain or loss under section 721, and that means that the property owner defers any capital gains taxes that would otherwise be due upon the sale… In a 721 exchange you are not recognizing a taxable event.”
Property owners can leverage this strategy to defer significant capital gains taxes, a crucial advantage in today's dynamic real estate market. The CVC Equity Swap distinguishes itself from the traditional 1031 exchange by offering unique benefits and a streamlined process for contributing to Crystal View Capital’s real estate fund. This allows investors to move from active property management to a more hands-off, diversified approach, all while potentially enhancing their financial outcomes.
Real World Example:
“I feel confident working with Crystal View Capital. I reinvested half the sales price of my property with them through a 721 Exchange and have been pleased with the results. Both with my return and their management of my former property.”
