How to Maximize Tax Savings in Real Estate Syndications
Introduction and Real Estate Professional Status Requirements
Kim Lisa Taylor introduced the topic of taxation for LPs and GPs in syndications. Ryan explained the two key criteria for real estate professional status: 750 hours annually in real estate activities and spending more than 50% of working time in real estate business.
Cost Segregation and Tax Benefits (00:15:24)
Ryan described cost segregation as allowing investors to accelerate depreciation deductions, typically accessing 25-30% of total depreciation value in the first year instead of spreading over 39 years. Austin explained how this can be particularly beneficial when combined with real estate professional status.
Structuring Syndications for Tax Efficiency (00:30:15)
Kim Lisa Taylor outlined the recommended structure using an investment level LLC with Class A and Class B interests, and a separate management entity. This structure helps characterize earnings appropriately between active management fees and passive investment income.
Carried Interest and Fee Treatment (00:45:30)
The experts discussed how carried interest allows recharacterizing what would be ordinary income into capital gains. Ryan explained strategies for GPs to minimize taxes on acquisition fees by reinvesting them into deals as Class A interests.
