Through our expertise at identifying opportunities in the commercial real estate market and our financial strength to act upon them, our private investors are able to tap into a market that is not easily accessible. Current Acquisition Criteria PPA believes in a conservative approach to investing and feels that investment opportunities should make sense first and foremost on the basic return on investment and cash flow numbers, and should incorporate a three to five year reposition strategy. We accommodate the following: Investment Funds The PPA Group offers a range of discretionary and non-discretionary investment funds as vehicles to commercial real estate investing. Through these funds, PPA offers a full range of real estate investments designed for investors with varying risk/return objectives. Fractional Share-Ownership A fractional share-ownership property allows each co-owner to receive a fractional fee title ownership deed and title report at closing of the investment property. Fractional share-owners retain voting rights on all major issues connected to the property and typically receive a pro-rata share of all net monthly income, tax benefits, appreciation and an annual property operating statement. Fractional Share-Ownership enables individuals, to acquire an interest in high-quality properties typically owned only by major institutions. PPA makes these properties available to individual buyers as a real estate principal. Acquiring Fractional Share-Ownership interest in multiple properties can decrease investment risk through diversification. The co-owners may exit the Fractional Share-Ownership agreement when they unanimously elect to sell the property. The benefits of institutional-quality fractional-deed properties include quality, solid cash flow, future appreciation potential, and strong tenancy in specific market areas. Joint Venture Opportunities We work collaboratively with our joint-venture partners to add commercial investment real estate expertise that provides value to the transactions along with capital. Private Joint Venture Equity can add value to nationwide opportunities for development, repositioning and value-added acquisitions. One objective is to source educated equity capital for projects that yield above-market, risk-adjusted returns. We develop and maintain mutually beneficial, long-term, working relationships with reputable individuals and institutions. 1031 Exchanges In 2002, the IRS issued new guidelines on how a group of buyers can pool their equity to “exchange” or “trade up” to larger commercial investment properties, defer capital gains taxes and each still satisfy 1031 Exchange requirements as individual investors. 1031 Exchange, is a real estate investment technique that enables sellers of income property to defer paying capital gains taxes by naming a “like kind” property within 45 days and then reinvesting the profits within 180 days according to the 1984 Congressional Tax Reform Act Generally, if you exchange business or investment property solely for business or investment property of a like-kind, no gain or loss is recognized under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. If, as part of the exchange, you also receive other (not like-kind) property or money, gain is recognized to the extent of the other property and money received, but a loss is not recognized. Self Directed Retirement Accounts (IRA, 401k, Solo K) Investors with individual retirement accounts can increase the size of their Self-Directed Retirement Account funds by using them for strategic real estate investments. A self-directed Retirement Account owner makes an investment decision on behalf of the retirement plan. The Internal Revenue Service requires the owner to have either a qualified trustee or custodian hold the asset on behalf of the owner. Generally, the trustee for the owner of a self-directed individual retirement account will maintain the assets, all transactions and other records pertaining to them. Most self-directed IRA custodians will permit their clients to engage in a wide variety of investments including real estate. Such investments can substantially increase the owner's IRA account and help secure the owner's financial situation during retirement years. It is a little-known but highly effective way to invest in real estate using IRA funds. Our opportunity expertise welcomes: To learn more about becoming an investor |
