What are the benefits of TIC (Tenants-in-Common) ownership?
The TIC structure has various features that make it
attractive to the real estate buyer.
Access to Higher Grade Properties - The typical entrance in whole
commercial building begins at $1 million, but through co-ownership as a
Tenants-in-Common, the average qualified owner of investment real estate is able
to enjoy ownership in an institutional-type property with a lower or smaller
purchase price. Besides reliable income and growth potential, TIC properties are
able to attract tenants with greater financial strength and stability than
smaller, less quality properties.
Combined Real Estate Experience - As an alternative to sole ownership of
real estate, an experienced buyer of investment real estate can take ownership
in a large commercial property along with other unrelated buyers, not as limited
partners, but as individual TIC owners. Each of the TIC owners brings their
previous real estate knowledge to the group. Thus, each decision of the TIC
ownership will be backed by many years of real estate experience.
Lessee with an established history of 1031 experience - The whole
property is leased to a Lessee with an established history of property
management and leasing experience in real estate. Most of the day-to-day
property operations are the contractual responsibility of the NNN PLUS lessee.
Of course, the NNN PLUS Lease can be terminated at any time if the owners desire
to manage and operate their property in another manner.
Exact Dollar Matching - In TIC properties, a qualified owner of
investment real estate can purchase any percent desired in the property (subject
to minimum requirements). For example, if you have $152,479 of equity from the
sale of a previous property you can purchase $152,479 of equity in a TIC
property.
Reasonable Purchase Price - Revenue Procedure 2002-22 issued by the IRS
allows up to 35 TIC owners in any one property. Thus, the purchase price
reflects ownership by multiple experienced buyers making the price reasonable
for such quality properties with a minimum purchase price of $150,000 for
well-qualified and experienced buyers.
Non-recourse Financing - The mortgages on most of the TIC properties
offered by Spectrus Real Estate Group are non-recourse, subject to limited
non-recourse carveouts. The TIC debt structure generally allows for the debt
financing to assumed. Assumption usually occurs without the need for
qualification or loan assumption fees.
Diversification - Due to the low minimum purchase price in TIC
properties, an experienced buyer can diversify into different properties in
various different marketplaces based upon the buyer's individual needs and
expertise.
Speed and Simplicity - Speed and simplicity are achieved due to the
efforts of the Spectrus team. The negotiation process is complete, and survey,
rent rolls, etc. are ready completed and available for your standard due
diligence review. After your completion of your due diligence process and upon
your approval, you can be ready to close. The process can be completed in days,
not months.
No Closing Costs - Absent seller default or other items outside the
control of the Spectrus, closings are met within the agreed upon time frame.
Spectrus does not charge the TIC owners any closing costs.
Deeded Interest - The TIC owners buy the property and receive a deeded
interest. You can transfer this interest by gift, sale, inheritance, assignment,
etc. Such transfer does not need to coincide with the transfer of all TIC
interests in the property.
No Special Allocations - All the TIC owners receive monthly rental
payments, sale proceeds and the depreciation tax benefits in proportion to their
percentage ownership in the property.
Impasse Resolution Procedure - On a decision requiring unanimous vote,
such as a sale decision, a 60% - 75% (depending on your TIC agreement) vote by
the TIC owners will be sufficient to initiate the impasse resolution procedure.
This procedure allows the TIC owners with 60% - 75% (depending on your TIC
agreement) or more of the property to make an offer to buyout the dissenting
owner(s) based upon the fair market value of the property as determined by a
third-party appraisal.

legal or tax advice and is qualified in its entirety by the actual closing
documents. In case of any discrepancy, the actual closing documents will
