Local Broker Completes 7-Property 1031 Deal

Local Broker Completes 7-Property 1031 Deal

Goodkin Mergers With Ackman-Ziff Group

REAL ESTATE

Being involved in seven apartment property sales that closed during a 3 & #733;-month period is probably not a unique situation.

However, John Garner recently completed a seven-property transaction that was a series of 1031 exchanges involving five different clients and $15 million in property sales.

A 1031 exchange allows a property owner to invest in a new property within a limited amount of time before incurring capital gains on revenue from the sale.

Garner is vice president of investments in the San Diego office of Marcus & Millichap, an Encino-based real estate investment brokerage.

The seven-leg transaction began with Brooke Development, which owned the 48-unit Villa Del Norte in Vista, and Charles and Erin Dimry of C & E; Ventures LLC, which owned a six-unit property in Oceanside.

Barry and Mary Blue of PacWest Landcare Inc. purchased Villa Del Norte for $3.3 million, looking to consolidate their two-property, 18-unit portfolio in Oceanside into one property.

The Dimrys purchased the Blue’s 12-unit complex for $1.3 million, contributing $625,000 from the sale of their property.

Using $690,000 from the sale of a four-unit property at Dana Point, a private client purchased the Blue’s other property for $600,000.

Brooke Development exchanged up to Ocean Breeze Village, a 72-unit property in Oceanside, for $6.45 million. Garner negotiated an extended escrow for the transaction so that Brooke could sell a 32-unit property in Vista for almost $2.5 million to real estate entrepreneur Mitchell McDonald.

“Our team is currently building another 1031 exchange series within the San Diego County market,” Garner said. “With low interest rates still available, the market provides opportunities for many exchange-driven buyers who are willing to pay a premium on properties in lieu of a large tax bill.”
