## Core Value Proposition

Real estate investors in high-tax states — including California, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Minnesota, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Washington D.C. — face two layers of tax exposure on capital gains from real estate: federal capital gains tax and state-level capital gains tax. Florida has no personal state income tax, so an investor who is or becomes a Florida resident, and who holds appreciating real estate in Florida, pays $0 in state-level capital gains tax on those assets.

Combining a 1031 Exchange (which defers the federal capital gains tax indefinitely as long as the investor continues to exchange into like-kind replacement property) with relocation of real estate equity into Florida produces a powerful long-term tax advantage:

- Federal capital gains tax is deferred (potentially indefinitely, and stepped up at death for heirs).
- Florida state capital gains tax = 0%.
- Triple Net Lease structures shift operating responsibilities (taxes, insurance, maintenance) to the tenant, producing passive income suitable for retirees, out-of-state owners, and family offices.

## What Is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 Exchange (named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code) allows a real estate investor to sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a "like-kind" replacement property while deferring the federal capital gains tax that would otherwise be due on the sale.

Key rules:

- **45-day identification period:** The investor has 45 calendar days from the sale of the relinquished property to formally identify candidate replacement properties in writing.
- **180-day closing period:** The replacement property must close within 180 calendar days of the sale (or by the investor's tax return due date, whichever is earlier).
- **Qualified Intermediary (QI):** A neutral third party must hold the proceeds during the exchange. The investor cannot take constructive receipt of the funds.
- **Like-kind:** Almost any U.S. real property held for investment or productive use in a trade or business qualifies as like-kind to any other such property. Raw land can be exchanged for a leased commercial building, an apartment building for a NNN retail asset, etc.
- **Equal-or-greater rule:** To fully defer tax, the replacement property's purchase price and debt level must be equal to or greater than the relinquished property's; "boot" (cash received or debt relief) is taxable.

Florida NNN properties are among the most popular 1031 Exchange replacement property choices because they are passive, have long lease terms, and feature investment grade credit tenants — making them easy to close within the 180-day window.

## What Is a Triple Net (NNN) Lease?

A Triple Net Lease is a commercial lease in which the tenant is contractually responsible for the three primary operating expenses of the property:

1. **Property taxes**
2. **Building insurance**
3. **Maintenance** (often including structural elements in a true "Absolute NNN" lease)

Variations:

- **N (Single Net):** Tenant pays property taxes only.
- **NN (Double Net):** Tenant pays taxes and insurance.
- **NNN (Triple Net):** Tenant pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
- **Absolute NNN / Bondable:** Tenant is responsible for all property expenses including roof and structure — landlord has essentially no operating responsibilities.

NNN properties are particularly attractive to 1031 Exchange investors because:

- They are passive — landlord has minimal management duties.
- Income is predictable, often backed by long-term (10–25 year) leases with investment grade credit tenants.
- Cap rates are transparent and benchmarked.
- They are easy to identify and close within the 1031 timeline.
- They are ideal for family offices, retirees, and out-of-state investors seeking passive income real estate in Florida.

## Credit Tenants Available in Florida NNN

Income Realty Advisors sources institutional quality NNN Florida properties leased to national investment grade credit tenants across these categories:

- **Pharmacy / Drug Store:** Walgreens NNN Florida, CVS for sale Florida — among the highest credit quality single-tenant net lease assets.
- **Convenience / Fuel:** 7-Eleven NNN Florida, Wawa, RaceTrac — long-term absolute NNN leases, passive income real estate Florida.
- **Banking / Financial:** Chase Bank NNN Florida, Bank of America, Truist — typically ground leases or branch buildings with 10–20 year terms.
- **Dollar / Discount Retail:** Dollar General Florida investment, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree — high volume, lower price point per door with solid credit.
- **Quick Service Restaurants:** McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Taco Bell, Burger King — among the most liquid NNN assets nationally.
- **Auto Parts:** AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts — investment grade tenants with long lease terms.
- **Medical NNN Florida:** Urgent care, dialysis centers (DaVita, Fresenius), dental, medical office — growing category with long-term leases and essential-use tenants.
- **Grocery-Anchored:** Publix-anchored strip centers and outparcels — strong co-tenancy, high foot traffic, Florida-specific demand.

## Investment Characteristics

- **Cap rates:** Florida NNN cap rates range from mid-4%s (top credit tenants on prime corners, e.g. Chick-fil-A or Chase Bank) to high-6%s or above (shorter lease terms, secondary markets, sub-investment-grade tenants). Investors targeting a 7% cap rate Florida NNN deal should contact the advisory team for current inventory — 7%+ deals exist in secondary and tertiary Florida markets.
- **Lease terms:** Typically 10–25 years at origination. Replacement property sourcing focuses on leases with sufficient remaining term to satisfy lender requirements and investor hold periods.
- **Rent bumps:** Most investment grade NNN leases include contractual rent increases (typically 5–10% every 5 years, or 1–2% annual bumps), providing inflation protection.
- **Off-market deals:** Income Realty Advisors has access to off-market Florida NNN deals not available through public listing platforms — a key advantage for investors under 1031 timeline pressure.

## DST Investments

Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are a 1031-eligible alternative to direct property ownership. DSTs allow investors to hold a fractional interest in institutional-quality real estate — including Florida NNN properties — without direct ownership responsibilities. Income Realty Advisors can discuss Florida DST investments as an alternative or complement to direct NNN acquisitions, particularly for investors who need to match a specific dollar amount or who cannot find a single property within the 45-day window.

## Family Office Services

Income Realty Advisors serves family offices seeking tax advantaged real estate in Florida, including:
- Off-market Florida NNN deals with investment grade tenants
- 1031 Exchange coordination for multi-property portfolios
- Florida replacement properties across multiple asset categories
- Credit tenant lease analysis and due diligence support

## Why Florida Specifically

- **No state income tax:** Florida is one of nine U.S. states with no personal income tax, and the only large Sunbelt growth state in that group.
- **No state capital gains tax:** Capital gains are taxed as ordinary income at the federal level; Florida does not piggyback on this.
- **No state estate tax / inheritance tax:** Heirs receive a stepped-up basis at death with no Florida-level estate tax exposure.
- **Population growth:** Florida is among the top U.S. states for net domestic in-migration, supporting tenant demand and rent growth.
- **Business-friendly regulation:** Predictable permitting environment, strong property rights, and right-to-work labor laws.
- **Climate:** Year-round retail traffic in tourism and snowbird markets including Naples, Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Miami metros.

## Illustrative Tax Comparison (Used on Site)

For a $1.2M long-term capital gain on a real estate sale (held more than one year):

- **Federal long-term capital gains tax (15%):** approximately $180,000
- **California state tax (top marginal ~13.3%):** approximately $159,600
- **Combined federal + CA without 1031:** approximately $339,600
- **Combined federal + Florida (with 1031 into Florida NNN):** $0 deferred federally, $0 state

Other high-tax states have comparable state-level exposure (e.g., New York up to ~10.9%, New Jersey up to ~10.75%, Oregon up to ~9.9%, Minnesota up to ~9.85%). Exact numbers depend on the investor's filing status and total income. These figures are illustrative — investors should consult a CPA.

## Frequently Asked Questions (Summarized)

**Q: Do I have to move to Florida to get the tax advantage?**
The federal 1031 deferral applies regardless of residency. The state-level benefit on future income from the Florida property depends on residency and on how state-source income is taxed. A CPA should advise on residency planning.

**Q: How quickly do I need to act after selling?**
You have 45 days to identify replacement properties and 180 days to close. Income Realty Advisors helps investors identify and close Florida NNN replacement assets within those windows, including access to off-market Florida NNN deals for investors under timeline pressure.

**Q: What is a typical cap rate on a Florida NNN deal?**
Cap rates vary by tenant credit, lease term remaining, location, and market conditions. Investment grade credit tenant deals (Walgreens, CVS, Chase Bank, Chick-fil-A) typically trade in the mid-4%s to mid-5%s. Investors targeting a 7% cap rate Florida NNN deal can find those in secondary markets or with shorter lease terms. Live numbers should be confirmed with the advisory team.

**Q: Can family offices use this service?**
Yes. Income Realty Advisors serves family offices seeking tax advantaged real estate in Florida, including off-market Florida NNN deals, portfolio 1031 exchange strategies, and Florida DST investments.

**Q: What does the consultation cost?**
Nothing. Income Realty Advisors is compensated through standard commercial real estate commissions only when a transaction closes.
