Crew Charlotte Kicks Off 2013 Queen City In Pink Initiatives

Commercial Real Estate Women Charlotte kicks off of its 5th Annual Queen City in Pink campaign, where local businesses participate to turn Charlotte pink September 28 – October 6 in conjunction with National Breast Cancer Foundation’s® Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
 

Charlotte, NC (July 30, 2013)

CREW Charlotte is proud to announce the kick off of its 5th Annual Queen City in Pink (QCIP) campaign partnering with Susan G. Komen® Charlotte. QCIP works to turn the Queen City pink September 28 – October 6 in conjunction with National Breast Cancer Foundation’s® Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

CREW Charlotte’s QCIP initiative asks the owners and tenants of Charlotte properties to illuminate their buildings with pink lighting, temporarily turn fountains pink with dye or lighting and other displays of pink including ribbons, banners and flags. These efforts show support for the community’s survivors of breast cancer and honor those who have been affected by or lost their lives to the disease.

“We were thrilled to have had nearly 120 participants last year show their support in QCIP. Our city really came together and made a huge impact. We have set our goal high for this year at 150 participants which is a 25% increase from last year. Just like breast cancer screening and detection, we feel it’s never too early to start. We have an amazing committee who has been working to secure participants since April of this year,” said Nicole Green, CREW Charlotte’s Queen City in Pink Committee Co-Chair.

There are multiple ways businesses can participate. For more information on how your business can help support Queen City in Pink, please visit http://www.crewcharlotte.org/events/queen-city-in-pink.

Phantom Income Triggered By Debt Transactions

By: Bobbi Jo Lazarus, CPA

Recent changes with commercial lending requirements have driven some real estate investors to develop new approaches to investing in real estate.   While these approaches may give way to significant earnings, investors should be aware of events that could also trigger phantom taxable income.

The continued increase of distressed loans on lenders’ balance sheets, matched with the increase in required equity and occupancy rates for traditional financing, some real estate investors have found that it is more beneficial to purchase these distressed loans directly from the bank at a significantly reduced price.   While the reduced price can be very appealing, future transactions or modifications can lead to unforeseen taxable income.
