The real estate industry has changed in innumerable ways over the past decade, and in even more unfathomable ways over the past century. Which is why on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Minnesota Realtors, a statewide trade group for residential Realtors, is rolling out a major rebranding effort that’s being led by Heather Boschke, the organization’s new vice president of marketing and communications.

A: The Realtor membership is a three-tier system. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) serves the 1.4 million Realtors across the country and every state has an association and every state is comprised of local associations. Each tier in that system plays a different role dedicated to helping Realtors build their careers and grow their businesses. Minnesota Realtors serves the entire state by partnering nationally with NAR and locally with 16 regional associations.

IRS issues final (for now) debt/equity regulations | Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP - JDSupra
Final regulations addressing the treatment of certain related-party indebtedness as equity for US federal income tax purposes were released on May 13, 2020. The regulations finalize without material change regulations that were issued as temporary and proposed regulations in 2016. In finalizing the regulations, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) eliminated uncertainty that resulted from the expiration of the temporary regulations at the end of 2019.
The section 385 regulations as finalized treat certain related party indebtedness that is issued within three years of a distribution by the issuer as equity for US federal income tax purposes (the “Distribution Regulations”). A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued in November 2019 indicated that the IRS and Treasury intend to issue more streamlined and targeted Distribution Regulations.
