When it comes to investing in real estate, you have several options for how to structure the ownership of the property. In this article, we are going to offer some tips for choosing the right ownership structure for your next real estate investment property.
Real Estate Ownership Structures
Here are the most common examples of real state ownership structures:
Partnership
LLC
S-Corp
Grantor Trust
Tenancy-in-Common (TIC)
Use Tenancy-in-Common for 1031 Exchanges
When it comes to 1031 exchanges of the property in question, a little foresight goes a long way. While all of the above listed ownership structures can do a 1031 exchange, there are some restrictions. If you want to do a 1031 exchange on property owned in a partnership, LLC, S-corp, or grantor trust, all investors need to re-invest into the replacement property together. This works just fine if all owners are in agreement about how to handle the sale. If you anticipate using a 1031 exchange when you sell your property, then the best ownership structure is the TIC (Tenancy-in-Common) option.
