Casualties and
Condemnations Under Section 1033
Mary Foster and
David Shechtman
Section 1033 has
taken on increased importance recently in light
of hurricanes and other natural disasters, and
is likely to become significant as private land
is taken for proposed infrastructure projects.
This session will explore the workings of the
tax deferral opportunities available under this
provision. |

3:00 pm - 5:00 pm |
Private REITs: What Are They and Why Are They
Hot?
Lou Weller and
Joyce Welch
REITs
offer investors a way to buy positions in
diversified pools of real estate assets. While
the best-known REITs are publicly traded, there
has recently been a boom in formation of REITs
which are registered with the SEC but sold to a
limited number of investors and not listed on a
stock exchange. One use of these vehicles
has been to facilitate 1031 exchanges into a
diversified group of assets. This session
will explore the uses of "private" REITs, their
structures and their role in the current real
estate marketplace. |

Credit Market
Fallout: The 2008-09 freeze in credit
markets created many issues for buyers and
sellers of assets, including those wishing to do
like-kind exchanges. Foreclosures and
workouts have become common and sales often can
only be structured using non-equity sources such
as carry-back financing and contingent debt.
What are the consequences for exchanges of these
and other credit-related issues? Richard
Lipton, Howard Levine, Bob Schachat |
