A hefty tax bill on appreciated property, poor real estate investment choices, corporate surplus properties, underutilized properties, or mismanagement are common challenges faced by property owners. Unfortunately, many industry professionals, property owners, and nonprofit organizations are unaware of the IRS code, IRC 170, designed for real estate optimization. Even those who are aware of the code may not understand the process, implementation, overcoming objections, and strategic planning involved.

CCREC approach
Who we work with?
Corporate owned: A powerful combination of tax benefits that are both sizable and lasting, along with the ability to clear out ongoing expenses related to tax bills, maintenance, insurance, and up-keeping, make channeling real estate through a nonprofit an attractive option for corporate property owners. Furthermore, this strategy provides effective risk management solutions for certain properties, as well as the opportunity to fund charitable organizations and fulfill social responsibilities. In addition to this, it has a positive impact on investor community involvement, employee retention, talent acquisition, and the creation of a positive image within the community. This approach fulfills Corporate Social Responsibility objectives and delivers a much greater payback, while also creating a lasting legacy by investing in “For the cause” and utilizing and optimizing social capital. By applying this combination of benefits, any type of corporate-owned property, whether dark, surplus, mismanaged or owner-occupied, can be transformed into a vehicle for ROI optimization.

Nonprofit
Easy Peasy.
Is it really that easy?
The complexity of the transaction comes from multiple directions as follow. A) Requires specialized experts (legal, tax, financial planning, and brokerage service, closing, appraisal) specialized means specialized for example tax doesn’t mean any tax has to be a tax specialized in the IRC 170. Same with others profession not any legal, appraisal, broker, financial planner even title company. B) Process: the process is different form one transaction to another. C) Property each property will is different type, holding and outcome. D) Donor unspoken words, why, what is it for me, control, liability, etc. E) Donee assuming the wrong assumption of the transaction as easy peasy. F) Donee other assumption, problem, liability, risk, expense, handling, management, etc.
Challenge & Solution, Gifting real estate for nonprofits is a unique area of expertise, it is a lengthy process with greater in-depth expertise in a number of areas. From development, residential, commercial, investment, financial planning, tax, business modeling, and corporate strategy.
It is about value added. Although the mobile home is classified under residential real estate, a broker who is specializing in selling residential may not be familiar with the required steps, forms, and strategy to conduct a mobile home transaction. Real estate has a number of classes and subclass. A commercial broker specializing in light industrial wouldn’t know the terms or skills required for hotels, vineyards, golf courses, net lease property, offices, or others. The value added by a commercial broker who is specializing in hotels trying to sell a luxury house is both damaging and negative.
In the nonprofit world missing the opportunity commonly happened by misidentifying the risk level and holding on to the wrong end of the stick. It is not real estate it is a different world with a different language, unspoken words, skills.
You can count on our specialized expertise in the area of gifting real estate. We are committed to helping your organization we are on a mission to help your vision.

B- Private foundation: Lesser of fair market value or adjusted cost basis. 20% of AGI with five years carry-forward. Real estate may be conducive for testamentary funding for a private foundation to the extent the property receives a stepped-up basis. Nonprofit concerns:

Innovation Gift (2017)
In October 2017, Shidler donated an additional $117 million, in cash and real estate ground leases, increasing his total gift to $228 million. Shidler’s $228 million gift is the largest individual donation in the 110-year history of the University of Hawai‘i[17], and makes him the second largest known donor to any public business school nationwide.[18]
Income from ground lease payments will provide steady and increasing revenue to the College. Over the life of the 99-year ground leases, contractual income to the Shidler College of Business will average $21 million a year and total $2.1 billion. That income stream will be used to fund renovations and new programs, and will materially increase the number of available scholarships.[19]
After each ground lease expires, the ownership of each office building and hotel will revert to the College. At that time, it is estimated that the College’s stake in this portfolio will be worth in excess of $5.1 billion.[20]
