Net Lease Makes a Reset
It used to be that when Jonathan Hipp, head of Avison Young's U.S. Net Lease Group, would get a client requesting a zero cash flow property transaction — meaning the rent the buyer receives is equal to what it will pay on its mortgage — it would be for the bonus depreciation benefits that such a deal would offer.
But more recently he has been seeing a lot of clients sitting across from his desk requesting a zero cash flow deal for another reason: they are giving the keys to a property, usually an office building, back to the lender and want to reduce their tax bill as much as possible. "When a lender takes a property back it is not a forgiveness of the debt," he explains. "You have a capital gain and have to pay taxes on that gain," he explains.
