What Is A TIC (Tenants In Common)
A TIC or Tenants in Common is a real estate investment opportunity that is 1031 exchange eligible. A TIC can only have up to 35 investors in the real estate opportunity. The real estate investment properties are usually smaller to allow investors to buy into the property. However, because there can only be up to 35 investors, the minimum investments could be higher than a DST
(Delaware Statutory Trust) . A TIC vs DST allows real estate investors looking to do a 1031 exchange can invest a minimum of $100,000 into a Delaware Statutory Trust. A TIC vs DST could mean investors would have to invest a far higher amount into a TIC property because of the limited amount of investors allowed in a TIC. For some real estate investors, a TIC investment in a 1031 exchange may be too high based on their sale price. In a TIC investment, you are not a passive investor. When it comes to the decision making in a TIC, all investors must unanimously vote for decision making. If the TIC is considering selling the investment property, all 35 investors must agree to sell. If 1 investor decides to vote no to sell the property, they cannot sell the property. This is one of the downfalls of a TIC investment. When you invest into a TIC property, you assume all liability of the property and the financing. This puts a lot of liability and risk on the investor. In order to try and property you as an investor, you are required to form an LLC and maintain books and records for tax reporting. This is an added costs most investors do not consider when investing into a TIC property. A TIC investment property is not required to register with the SEC and FINRA and does not provide "safe harbor" protection for the investor. A TIC investment may have high costs associated with the investment. A TIC property does not have a quick close, and is not guaranteed. It could be a 30,60,90 day close when it comes to financing and acquiring the property. If you are in your 45 day identification period, this could pose a risk that the TIC property never closes escrow and you are required to take your proceeds in cash and pay the capital gains tax. In a TIC investment property, there could be an investor cash call where more funds are required to maintain or do repairs on the property. In short, the TIC investment structure carries higher risk, more management, but could pay higher cash on cash returns.
