Commercial Building Negotiations

[Aakash Shah]

I am a partner in a medical group where a single owner owns the building. We are trying to negotiate for me to buy into the building. The owner is only willing to allow me to buy 49 percent of the building but with deferred payments until he retires in 15 years. He is flexible with the structure as long as there’s no income/tax consequences right now. How can we structure a deal where I can buy into the building without showing immediate income for the owner?

I will also be talking to a CPA next week, but wanted some input from some of BPs experienced investors as well.
