    The Scenario

    A private investor had just sold a multifamily property that required substantial hands-on management. With the IRS 1031 clock running, he needed to quickly identify and close on a suitable replacement asset to defer a substantial tax liability — while simultaneously reducing his day-to-day management burden.

    The Helvetica Solution

    Helvetica searched nationwide to source a stabilized, low-risk replacement property and identified a single-tenant Longhorn Steakhouse in Amarillo, Texas on a long-term, corporate-guaranteed NNN ground lease. Our team organized due diligence, coordinated with the qualified intermediary, and closed the acquisition within the exchange window.

    Later, Helvetica arranged a $900,000 cash-out bank refinance on the same property, freeing capital for the investor to acquire an additional asset and further diversify his holdings.

    The Outcome

    • 1031 exchange completed inside the 180-day window — tax liability deferred
    • Investor doubled his income relative to the relinquished property
    • Management time reduced by nearly 100% via corporate NNN ground lease
    • $900K cash-out refinance subsequently funded an additional acquisition
