Fortitude Investment Group Offers Guidance to Property Owners Affected by California Wildfires

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The devastating wildfires sweeping through California have left countless property and business owners facing significant losses. In response, Fortitude Investment Group, a leading firm specializing in investment strategies for property owners, has announced its commitment to providing support and solutions to those affected.

For property owners who have experienced the loss of investment or business real estate due to the wildfires, Fortitude Investment Group www.1031dst.com  offers specialized guidance on leveraging Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code. This provision allows property owners to defer capital gains taxes on condemnation proceeds, such as insurance payouts from involuntary conversions, by reinvesting in replacement properties.

In a recent article, Jeffrey Alan Kiesnoski, Co-Founder and Partner of Fortitude Investment Group, explained how Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) can play a pivotal role in this process. "The sudden loss of property is an overwhelming setback, especially for aging property owners nearing retirement," Kiesnoski stated. "Through a 1033 exchange utilizing DSTs, property owners have an opportunity to simplify the recovery process while positioning themselves for a more secure financial future."

How DSTs Provide Relief and Opportunity

DSTs offer numerous benefits for property owners seeking to recover from losses caused by wildfires, including:

• Tax Deferral on Condemnation Proceeds: By reinvesting proceeds into DSTs, property owners can defer capital gains taxes, preserving funds for reinvestment.
• Simplified Path to Recovery: DSTs streamline the process of replacing lost properties, offering a hands-off investment option for those overwhelmed by loss.
• Non-Recourse Debt Benefits: DSTs provide access to non-recourse financing, meeting debt replacement requirements without personal liability.
• Passive Income Opportunities: DSTs enable property owners to transition from active management to passive income generation, stabilizing finances and reducing stress.
• Tailored Long-Term Solutions: Beyond immediate recovery, DSTs align with retirement and diversification goals, helping property owners rebuild with a strategic focus.

Fortitude Investment Group's Commitment

Fortitude Investment Group is dedicated to helping accredited investors navigate the challenges of recovery by offering tailored guidance on 1033 exchanges and connecting them with DST replacement properties. The firm's goal is to empower property owners to rebuild not only their assets but also their financial stability and peace of mind.

Property owners affected by the California wildfires are encouraged to contact Jeffrey Alan Kiesnoski at Fortitude Investment Group for personalized assistance. "Together, we can turn loss into a new beginning," Kiesnoski emphasized.
