Allocating UPREIT income to prevent REIT disqualification
Article Abstract:
Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trusts (UPREIT) have proliferated because they generally enable non-REIT investors who own real estate or interests in real estate partnerships to access REIT capital without suffering adverse tax consequences. Over the past few years, the IRS has addressed in letter rulings two issues that inevitably arise in using an UPREIT structure: 1. Will the REIT's management activities with respect to partnership properties cause rental income received by the REIT from either directly or owned properties or properties owned through operating partnerships to be characterized as something other than rents from real property? 2. Will fees that a REIT receives for managing partnership properties qualify as rents from real property?
