1031 Exchanges Coming Back in Silicon Valley

For the last couple years, the volume of 1031 tax-deferred exchanges was very low in comparison to the last decade.  There is now a resurgence in the amount of 1031 exchanges being opened and completed in the last 6 months.  A typical 1031 exchange was of a single family home that was used as a rental property.  This home had a few hundred thousand dollars in equity and was being sold to trade up into a single tenant NNN investment - less hassles, less tenants, more cash flow.  When the single family home market drop starting in 2007, the equity in these rental properties dropped off and an exchange was no longer warranted.
Now, some 2 years after Silicon Valley's bottom (March 2009), equities are coming back and there is now a renewed need for the 1031.  Also, some investors who bought at the bottom in 2009 and 2010, are looking at newly created equity which also suggests rolling equities to a new property via the 1031.
The rules have not changed much and are still very favorable for an investor to leverage his equity into a new investment property, while deferring capital gains taxes.

We have two great deals on two single family homes for sale in San Jose - one is a bank owned property and the other is a short sale.  Both are excellent opportunities.
1. Bank Owned - in need of a contractor - this is not your paint and carpet fixer - if you scare easily then this is not for you!  Previous owner took the kitchen (cabinets and all) and the bathrooms (no toilets or tubs).  Now for the good part: it is a newer home (built in 1991) in the hot Berryessa area of San Jose, 2,350 square feet on a decent sized lot, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths.  This home is being offered at a discount to compensate for the repairs and the sweat equity needed.  Price approximately $600,000.
2. Short sale single family home in South San Jose 95138 zip code off of Monterey Expressway. 1,450 square feet, built in 1990, on a 5,700 square foot pie shaped lot.  This IS a paint and carpet fixer.  Nice location on the street and in the development.  Great for rental investment or owner-occupant. Pricing estimate is $450,000.
Both are not on the market yet - let us know if you want more details.

Needed: Officeless Sand Hill Venture Capitalist

There are few opportunities in commercial real estate on the Peninsula to take advantage of these days.  Yes, the national news in office, retail and hospitality is depressing.  But, we know different in the heart of Silicon Valley.  Office vacancies are bearable here, in fact, some major employers are taking massive space - Apple and Facebook to mention just two.
Retail is healthy on the Peninsula - low unemployment and healthy salaries support retail sales and we don't see too much retail turmoil.
Hotels are coming back.  This tends to be more a national issue compared to the more localized retail and office markets.
And the opportunity of the day is an office building adjacent to Sand Hill Road with rare financial distress that would be a great purchase for a venture capital group, law firm, medical group or...?  Stop paying $6 per foot for 1960's era office space and own much better space for less. Call us for details.

Commercial Real Esate San Jose

The commercial real estate market in Silicon Valley / San Jose is healthy - in parts.  We at the MPIRES group are working with retail tenants looking for space, office users, landlords leasing commercial properties and investors looking to buy retail, office and multi-family properties.  Overall, the San Jose metro is far healthier than the rest of California or the nation.

In core retail areas with good demographics, retailers are looking to occupy spaces to engage with the household incomes that surround the buildings.  Office users such as the many high tech companies that built the valley are looking to take space for future or immediate expansions.  Companies that support or are off-shoots of the big players (Apple, HP, Cisco, etc) are also looking to take space near their suppliers and customers.

Residential rents are up for a variety of factors (the rash of foreclosures, lack of good first time home buyer financing and an influx of new hires into the area).  This makes valuations on apartment buildings not very attractive to investors.  But they are great cash flow vehicles for the existing landlords.  Though, there are some very good opportunities in single unit rentals up to 4plex properties.

The commercial real estate market in Silicon Valley / San Jose has had its movements over the last few years.  We are here to guide you in whatever goal you want to achieve.
