Tax efficient gifting of investment property...?

Tax efficient gifting of investment property...?

Member since 2018 · 29 posts · 4 votes
My dad doesn't want to deal with his 7 rental homes anymore but wants 7% return. He would like to give them to my brother and me. My brother and I want to keep them as rentals and not convert these into other assets. What is the best way to do this tax wise? (Like a long term c for d? Or a corporation? Or quit claim deeds) Family dynamic wise?

    There are some options in this scenario. He could gift the properties to a Trust. He could sell them to you/your brother in exchange for a note providing the required return. An IDGT may also be an option here. 

    You should consult with a CPA and an Attorney.

    Hard to beat the tax efficiency of the stepped-up basis inheriting the properties allows. 

    Why don't you and your brother just operate them and give Dad 7% until he reaches end of plan?
