STEPS IN A MULTIFAMILY INVESTMENT

CASH FLOW

We focus our purchases in the SOUTHEAST which has strong middle-class employment and a growing population.

Complexes ranging from 50 - 250+ Units

Class B and C

Rents below market average

APPRECIATION

Unlike single family homes, a multifamily apartment syndication is a business valued primarily by its Net Operating Income (NOI), not property comps. Through physical and operational improvements, you can increase the value of the property by increasing NOI.

AMORITIZATION

Revenue from operations & rental income pays down the debt on the property, which in turns builds equity for investors

DEPRECIATION

Revenue from operations & rental income pays down the debt on the property, which in turns builds equity for investors

AQUISITION

We focus our purchases in the SOUTHEAST which has strong middle-class employment and a growing population.

STABILIZE

Once the property is stabilized and generating greater income, it appraises at a higher value allowing us to refinance it, returning our investors initial capital, while still providing a steady cash flow, or 1031 exchange it for a bigger property.

DISPOSITION

Stabilized, cash flowing property is attractive to institutional buyers including REIT’s, institutionalized investment firms, or investors looking for real estate investments to diversify their investments. We typically plan on a 3-5 year exit strategy but may hold some properties for long-term cash flow.

WE FOCUS ON VALUE-ADD REAL ESTATE

Four Oaks' strategy is to capitalize on favorable demographics and supply/demand in metro areas in the SOUTHEAST through the acquisition of Class B and C multifamily assets.

Our objective is to enhance the value of investments through extensive renovations, while maximizing returns to investors and providing residents with an improved quality of living.

We target assets with highly desirable locations in close proximity to large employment centers, major thoroughfares, public transportation access points, public schools, retail centers and grocery stores.

The end result is affordable, high quality properties, in desirable locations, that are acquired at a discount relative to market.

WHY CLASS B & C APARTMENT COMPLEXES

Class B and C properties have experienced an increased demand as rising rates have pushed renters towards more affordable options.  And as the wage gap and income disparity across the country builds, aggregate demand for Class B and C properties is also expected to increase.

Need for these assets exists regardless of economic cycles. In tougher economic climates, Class A- and B+ renters may be forced to trade down to Class B/C multifamily.  Newer/younger entrants to the renting pool also tend to look for value properties. B/C class fills needs in both robust and weak economic cycles.

No new “B” & “C” class properties are being built for working-class individuals.  When new apartment complexes are built, they are inherently class “A” properties with a corresponding higher rent.

These complexes are typically older and offer the chance for value-add renovations that we require in order to increase cash flow potential.

INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE WITH A SELF DIRECTED IRA

Investment property depreciation is the amount that can be deducted from income each year as the depreciable items at the apartment community age. The IRS classifies each depreciable item according to its useful life, which is the number of years of useful life of the item. The business can deduct the full cost of the item over that period.

The most common form of depreciation is straight-line depreciation, which allows the deduction of equal amounts each year. The annual deduction is the cost of the item divided by its useful life. The IRS considers the useful life of real estate to be 27.5 years. So, the annual depreciation on an apartment building worth $1,000,000 (excluding the land value) is $1,000,000 / 27.5 years = $36,363,64 per year.

As one of the tax benefits of apartment syndications, the depreciation amount is such that a passive investor won’t pay taxes on their monthly, quarterly, or annual distributions during the hold period. They will, however, have to pay taxes on the sales proceeds.

In addition to the capital preservation and cash flow benefits, one of the main reasons that passive investors seek to invest in real estate opportunities, and apartment syndications in particular, is because of the tax benefits of rental property.

When a passive investor invests in a value-add apartment syndication, they will typically receive a profit from annual cash flow and the profit at sale.

Being a profit, this money is taxable. However, for apartment syndications, there are five pieces of tax information that the investor need to understand in order to determine the tax advantages of investing.

DEPRECIATION

BONUS DEPRECIATION

One of the major changes with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was the bonus depreciation provision, where business can take 100% bonus depreciation on a qualified property purchased after September 27th, 2017. This is definitely one of the tax benefits of rental property you should learn more about, so click here for more information on the qualifications and benefits of the change in bonus appreciation.

CAPITAL GAINS

When the asset is sold and the partnership is terminated, initial equity and profits are distributed to the passive investors.

The IRS classifies the profit portion as long-term capital gain.

Under the new 2018 tax law, the capital gains tax bracket breakdown is as follows:

Taxable income (individual or joint)

  • $0 to $77,220: 0% capital gains tax

  • $77,221 to $479,000: 15% capital gains tax

  • More than $479,000: 20% capital gains tax

DEPRECIATION REPACTURE

Depreciation recapture is the gain received from the sale of depreciable capital property that must be reported as income. Depreciation recapture is assessed when the sale price of an asset exceeds the tax basis or adjusted cost basis. The difference between these figures is “recaptured” by reporting it as income.

For example, consider an apartment that was purchased for $1,000,000 and has an annual depreciation of $35,000. After 11 years, the owner decides to sell the property for $1,300,000. The adjusted cost basis then is $1,000,000 – ($35,000 x 11) = $615,000. The realized gain on the sale will be $1,300,000 – $615,000 = $685,000. Capital gain on the property can be calculated as $685,000 – ($35,000 x 11) = $300,000, and the depreciation recapture gain is

$35,000 x 11 = $385,000.

Let’s assume a 15% capital gains tax and that the owner falls in the 28% income tax bracket. The total amount of tax that the taxpayer will owe on the sale of this rental property is (0.15 x $300,000) + (0.28 x $385,000) = $45,000 + $107,800 = $152,800. The depreciation recapture amount is $107,800 and the capital gains amount is $45,000.

ANNUAL TAX STATEMENT

At the beginning of the following year, our CPA will create Schedule K-1 tax reports for each passive investor. The K-1 is a tax document that includes all of the pertinent tax information that the passive investor will use to fill out their tax forms.
