Tucker’s Top 10 Closing LessonsThe Speed Points • Select the right team Accountant, lawyer, architect (or historic consultant), lender (and lender’s lawyer), title insurance • Don’t let your “to do’s” slow the process • Start survey, appraisal, insurance asap • Set a hard closing date, mini-milestones, and weekly check-ins • Stay involved and try to understand the issues
Tucker’s Top 10 Closing LessonsThe Other Points Don’t be afraid to challenge the professionals Don’t let the structure drive business decisions Don’t let the structure create taxable income Don’t let the structure let cash out of the deal Negotiate a cap on the legal expenses you pay on behalf of your investor and lender
Think About the FutureOngoing Concerns • Ongoing accounting fees- limit the number of audits and tax returns required • Get your accounting and reporting processes set up right away • Write a memo to yourself explaining the transaction in your own words right after closing
Think About the FutureExit Concerns • Think of legal incentives as well as financial to push your investor to leaver after five years • Understand tax consequences of the exit • Are any funds structured as loans that will be forgiven • 32/39ths- negative amortization; who pays the taxes?
