| Disclaimer -
There are substantial risks associated with the federal income tax consequences of purchasing and owning real property, especially if the purchase is part of a tax-deferred exchange under section 1031 of the code. In addition, the income tax consequences of purchasing and owning real property are complex. Because the tax consequences are complex and certain consequences may differ depending on individual tax circumstances, each prospective purchaser must consult with and rely on his own independent tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of such a purchase and his individual situation. |
