    How do I propose a real estate transaction so the seller/giver gets optimal advantage?

    Posted by Tim on 2/20/2006, 7:06 pm

    We are looking for a property to house our facility. We anticipate a capital campaign to help fund the transaction. How can the deal be structured so that the seller can receive additional benefits in exchange for working with us on the deal. For instance, can they lower the asking price and receive the tax deduction to offset any losses that wouldn't have incurred should they sell outright at full price to another buyer? Any thoughts out there? And if we should seek professional advice, from whom? Tax atty? acctnt? If we can do a lease to purchase, would the tax deduction continue for them over each and every year that they "fund" us (meaning a lower price.)
