Maytag Mountain R

There is a sacredness here.

A deep respect for the land.

A place unlike any other.

W

Welcome to Maytag Mountain Ranch, a place that looks to the future as much as it looks to preserve the past. Maytag Mountain Ranch is a 3,000-acre sustainable, ecological, working cattle ranch nestled against Colorado’s majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. These spectacular 100-acre homesteads, starting at $895,000, bring together the love of ranching, horses, wilderness, fly-fishing, wildlife, family and sustainable practices.

A business. A home. A retreat.

The thrill of horseback.

The responsibility of cattle.

Here, at the base of Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range, native tribes, conquistadors and Mexican bandits once roamed. Later, the land was settled by homesteaders seeking a peaceful new life, but sometimes forced into uneasy coexistence with outlaws and gunslingers.

In 1978, Russ and Jeannie Maytag decided to follow in the footsteps of the original settlers.

Over time and piece by piece, the Maytags added to their original homestead, building a pristine working ranch of 2,953 acres while preserving Western traditions of natural grazing, healthy ecology and family participation in the ranching endeavor. Expressing their love of horses, ranching and big sky country bounded by mountain peaks, they built a home and created a life here.

With the same clarity of purpose and vision they had with their original homestead, Russ and Jeannie invite you to share in this vision: a working cattle ranch preserved in the 21st century, in accordance with ecologically and environmentally sound ranching practices.

Maytag Mountain Ranch is quite different among Colorado ranches for sale. It grows from a vision of sustainability and has been thoughtfully

escending from two of the oldest Spanish ranch domains in the rolling hills and golden

valleys of the Santa Ynez Valley in central California, the Ranches at Figueroa Canyon embody the quintessential substance of the California ranch experience. Representing the largest available ranchlands in the area, the land was parceled into five unique ranch estates ranging in size from 187 acres to 1,176 acres. Clustered below the San Rafael Mountains and the Los Padres National Forest, each estate exemplifies natural regional transitions ranging between wide green valleys, high rolling vistas and hillsides accentuated by stands of live oak, sycamore and pine trees.

“More Options...

Better Solutions”

S

ince entering the financial services industry in 1972, my primary mission has been to seek out and share “More Options...Better Solutions” for the benefit of my clients and with other professionals with whom I network. I consider the 1031 TIC Tax Deferred Exchange to be my most valuable find.

From this CFP’s point of view, there are three distinct phases in the wealth cycle. While sequential, they are not mutually exclusive, as they often overlap in real life. In order they are: (1) the accumulation phase, (2) the distribution phase and (3) the transfer/estate planning phase.

Libraries are loaded with volumes of financial planning tools, strategies and products, all of which have been endorsed by attorneys, accountants, trust officers, life insurance agents, charitable planners, mortgage brokers, stockbrokers, Realtors, qualified intermediaries and certified financial planners.

In my experience, these traditional tools employed in phases #1 and #3 are predictably beneficial. When employed in phase #2, the results tend to be more disappointing than not. With that said and with your indulgence, I will share with you why the 1031 TIC (TenantIn-Common) Tax Deferred Exchange may be the “better solution” for the distribution phase of your wealth cycle.

The “distribution phase” is when one’s

28

lifestyle choices and financial objectives begin to shift towards smelling the roses in order to enjoy the fruits of one’s labor. The 1031 TIC Tax Deferred Exchange is about repositioning real property (equity) to facilitate funding those lifestyle changes.

Unfortunately, the financial tools most often recommended by the majority of professionals are either not tax efficient, too complicated, expensive, confusing, provide limited financial flexibility, require the owner to continue as an active property manager or a combination of the above.

The 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange has been around since the 1920s. Historically, real estate investors have employed the 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange very successfully during the accumulation phase.

In the early 1990s, a Southern California property sponsor, attorney and CPA pioneered the 1031 TIC Tax Deferred Exchange, which they engineered with the intention that it comply with IRC Section 1031 for the purpose of repositioning real property equity.

Since not all Broker/Dealers and Registered Representatives offer TIC properties, and since the majority of Realtors are not licensed to sell security products, it is understandable why this distribution strategy has remained somewhat of a secret.

The 1946 landmark case, SEC vs. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946); Rev. Proc. 2002-22;

and the SEC vs. Edwards decision handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in January 2004 define TICs as security products that must be offered through a securities broker dealer. In 1999, one could count the number of sponsors marketing TIC property on your fingers. Over the past decade, the TIC industry has experienced phenomenal growth.

Therefore, as we begin 2008, there are 67 active sponsors registered with the TenantIn-Common Association (TICA) of which 90% have elected to market their properties on a securities platform, which, unlike a real estate platform, requires full disclosure of all assumptions and risks to investors.

In October 2005, the TICA released its TIC Best Practices Memorandum at its annual conference. The following month at the NAR National Conference, the National Association of Realtors released its white paper publishing the merits of TIC property. At that moment, in my opinion, a case could be made that Realtors were put on notice that they have a fiduciary duty to inform clients involved in 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange transactions that TIC replacement property may be an appropriate solution to accomplish their financial objectives, regardless of the regulatory or compensation issues.

Therefore, it should be no surprise that during the past three years the NAR has been working together with the Securities and

Volume 30 Farm&Ranch West

028-029 BakerAssoc.indd 28

3/12/08 9:27:45 AM

Exchange Commission (SEC) on what is known as an “exception request,” the sole purpose of which is to allow licensed real estate agents to team up with licensed securities professionals to market TICs. The exemption is required in order for non-security licensed realtors to receive compensation for participating in the marketing of securitized TICs to the public.

My best guess is the SEC will approve some form of exemption request within the next 12 months.

In a nutshell, real property owners, who are sophisticated investors and who meet the accredited investor test, can potentially exchange equity held in smaller properties for a TIC interest in professionally selected and managed multi-million dollar, institutional quality property, located in major markets.

Property types include shopping centers, warehouses, industrial parks, office complexes, retail centers and class “A” apartment complexes. New inventory is introduced every week to 10 days. A TIC investment may be a favorable solution for individuals with one or more of the following objectives: 1. Want to simplify their lives.

2. Want to defer capital gains tax.

3. Want to defer recapture of depreciation tax.

4. Want to “discount” the value of real estate holding for estate taxes.

5. May have a mortgage over basis problem.

6. Want positive leverage.

7. Want NNN tenants and professional management.

8. Want renewed tax deductions.

9. Want the opportunity for a potential increase in cash flows.

10. Want professional third-party due diligence with full disclosure.

Of course, TICs are not suitable for everyone. As with any investment in real estate, risks are associated with TIC ownership, including fluctuations in the real estate market that impact the value of the property, vacancy rates that can impact cash flow and risks associated with the loss of a major tenant. It is not possible to address all relevant risk factors in this forum. Risk factors are outlined in the Private Placement Memorandum for each offering, and potential TIC investors should thoroughly understand all risk factors and discuss them with their financial representative prior to investing in a 1031/TIC offering.

It is well known within the real estate industry that 30% to 40% of 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange transactions fail to close. Either the client is not able to locate and/or identify a quality replacement property within the

45-day window, or the transaction falls apart prior to closing. Therefore, if you or someone you know meets the accredited investor requirements and is considering repositioning a minimum of $150,000 in real estate equity, or is involved in a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange and simply concerned about the risks inherent with identifying and closing on a replacement property, I urge you to consider a TIC property.

It could be the “better solution” you or your clients have sought.

Since November 2000, I have committed myself to specializing in TIC properties. As a result, over the past eight years, I have had the privilege of introducing the 1031 TIC Tax Deferred Exchange as a distribution strategy to the Society of Exchange Counselors, the Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington Chapters of the REALTORS Land Institute (RLI), Agricultural & Commercial Exchangers of the Northwest (ACENW), the Montana Association of Real Estate Exchangers (MAREX) and the Pacific Northwest Marketing Conference. This past October, it was my privilege to be appointed

by Dick Gaylord, NAR President, to the NAR Commercial Legislation and Regulatory Subcommittee for 2008.

As I begin my 36th year in the financial services industry, I am convinced everyone wins when our mission is to seek out and share “More Options...Better Solutions” for the benefit of our clients and with those professionals with whom we network. For more information, visit www.ticassoc.org. v

We Are Offering the J.R.K. Ranch

Photography by Katie Rose Hill

California v San Luis Obispo Co. v Templeton

These 115+ acres, the finest in San Luis Obispo County and perhaps the finest California offers, has 45+ acres of sandy loam, 35 acres in pasture and the rest in oak woodland. A creek runs through it, with a massive, very private swimming and fishing hole and room to entertain a few people or large parties. A true dream home, the J.R.K. Adobe was conceived in Berkley in the 1930s. The 36,000+ bricks built on site and the “old” beams collected for 20+ years—shaped, burned and steel brushed and each a work of art—make our father’s vision of a classic California ranch home on the lines of a “Greene & Greene Masterwork” a reality. There are 4,700+ square feet under roof, 3,400 square feet of living space and 3,000+ square feet of patio with a vista “to die for.” A modular home for the caretaker or rental, an extensive water system, duck pond, full shop and sheds, old hay barn, horse paddocks and cattle-working pens complete the improvements. Brokers welcome.

Crazy Horse Ranch, the “Heart and Soul” of Steamboat Springs

N

Half-mile of the Yampa River

Colorado v Routt County v Steamboat Springs Named after the famous Lakota Warrior, Crazy Horse, who fought boldly to preserve the traditions and values of his way of life, The Crazy Horse Ranch represents the “soul” of Steamboat Springs and good living. A personal haven, with rivers and ponds, meadows and flowers, trees and mountain views that are too beautiful to describe, this trophy ranch offers everything that means quality.

Whether your favorite activities include golf, alpine skiing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, sitting poolside while lounging on the shores of Lake Catamount or just relaxing, everything can be found on this 70+-acre property or just a few miles away. The wildlife that can be observed at the ranch is breathtaking. A pair of bald eagles makes their home in two trees on the west side of the property. Below them, hundreds of mallard ducks make their home year-round. Canada geese join the ducks from time to time.

Elk, mule deer, fox, sandhill cranes and blue herons make their homes in the westerly preservelike area adjacent to the Yampa River that flows through the property. Grouse, red-winged black bird and hundreds of species of hummingbirds propagate the elaborate gardens and flowerbeds from late spring to fall. One can’t help but think, “The animals seek out tranquility, exclusivity and natural habitat. We are, then, not so different.” Whether walking along the Yampa River or one of the three ponds, meandering through the meadow or just relaxing on the front porch, one is continually awestruck by the exterior features and finishes, vistas, sights and sounds of what is often thought of as pure bliss. The property offers half a mile of Yampa River, three ponds and a luxury home and barn with approximately 10,000± square feet and eight bedrooms, only four and a half miles from the Steamboat Ski Area.

Wild Horse Ranch

W

Wyoming v Albany County v Laramie

Wyoming’s raw natural beauty and enduring pioneer spirit continues to draw visitors from across the nation. With the opening of Wild Horse Ranch at Lake Hattie, they now have a place to stake their claim in the Wild West. Buyers know a good investment when they see one, and the allure of Wyoming’s zero corporate or personal taxes—plus some of the lowest property and sales tax in the U.S.—have made this ranch a hot commodity. These 40-acre homesteads lie in the shadow of Sheep Mountain, whose tree-lined foothills open up to dramatic vistas, including the scenic shoreline of the 2,200-acre reservoir-fed Lake Hattie. It is just 15 minutes from Laramie, a small western city that cherishes and celebrates its roots while growing to meet the future. Leading the new land rush is Brooks Realty & Advisory Group, a family-owned business that has developed more than half a million acres of ranch land since 1969, buying privately owned ranches and selling them to the public in pristine 40+-acre homesteads. With prices starting at just $1,995 per acre (with a 40-acre minimum parcel purchase) and a low down payment with guaranteed financing, Wyoming is an investment almost anyone can afford.
