You’re deeply involved in watching your favorite team play a critical football game when suddenly you realize that if the quarterback would just pass the ball to the guy open downfield, your team might just win. So, you end up chanting “pass the ball” and groan when he doesn’t. You may be holding onto a property you desperately need to pass off, but you’re waiting for the real estate market to improve or some other reason to sell it. In this case, you may not see that opening downfield. A 100-year-old IRS code – the 170 Bargain Sale – was originally created to encourage philanthropy, but also offers a brilliant solution to this situation.When an asset is simply accumulating costs – taxes and maintenance – with no relief in sight, it’s time to hand it off to someone who can put it to good use.With the Bargain Sale, you can offer a nonprofit your asset at a significantly reduced price, receive cash at closing and receive a charitable contribution deduction for the difference between ...

Take it from the Welfont Group( Welfont joe johnson ) that when it comes to selling, there’s selling for a profit, then there’s selling for so much more than just profit. Let’s say a few years back you bought a property you wanted to fix up and sell, but somehow you never got to the fixing part and now it’s sitting idle.What’s worse is it’s actually costing you money to maintain it and the last thing it’s doing it making you any money. Sure, you can just grab the phone, hire a real estate agent to market the property for you, hire a property manager to make sure it stays in good condition, but you still have to wait. In the end, after someone buys it (make that if someone does) you rake in the profits. However, how big will those profits be after you factor in how much you had to pay the real estate agent and the property manager. Then there are the taxes. Welfont Group founder and CEO  Welfont Joe Johnson  says there’s selling for profit, and selling for more than ...

While much has been written about the benefits that investors, buyers, and sellers derive from the IRS Section 170 Bargain Sale, one much-overlooked aspect of the transaction is the benefit that society gets from the sale. The IRS Section 170 Bargain Sale was originally designed as a way to promote giving and to preserve wealth for donors and sellers alike. Every year, there are more than 200,000 IRS Section 170 Bargain Sale transactions, with an estimated total value of $8 billion yearly. Non-profit organizations typically receive a substantial amount out of these transactions. On top of that, there are other ways by which a Section 170 Bargain Sale can have a positive impact on the community. First, it reduces waste and allows underutilized, distressed property to be transferred to another entity that might have a productive use for it. The Section 170 Bargain Sale allows the owner of the property to get a cash tax cut based on the full and fair market value of the property, t...
