Exhibit 99.1 

January 30, 2017

Dear Beneficial Owner:

The purpose of this letter is to provide you with:

PLAN OF LIQUIDATION UPDATE

As authorized by the Plan of Liquidation, Rancon IV transferred all of its assets to the Rancon Realty Fund IV Liquidating Trust (the “Liquidating Trust” or “Trust”) in March 2016 and Rancon IV was dissolved. Investors who were Limited Partners of Rancon IV become Beneficiaries who hold beneficial interests in the Trust (“Beneficial Interests”).

The purpose of the Liquidating Trust is to provide for the orderly liquidation of the real estate assets transferred to it by Rancon IV, to pay the liabilities of Rancon IV and the expenses of administering the Trust, and to make liquidating distributions to the Beneficiaries in accordance with their Beneficial Interests. Beneficiaries will continue to be sent the necessary tax reporting documents until the Liquidating Trust is dissolved.

On December 15, 2016, the one remaining property was sold and $4,026,854.87 was deposited into reserves.

SECOND DISTRIBUTION FROM THE LIQUIDATING TRUST

Enclosed with this letter is your second distribution from the Liquidating Trust, either in the form of a Distribution Check (on green check stock) or a Payment Advice (printed in black ink and sent if your distribution is going to another account, such as an IRA, or a payee such as a bank or brokerage firm). You can see where your distribution was sent by looking in the upper right hand corner of your Payment Advice.

Your Beneficial Interest in the Liquidating Trust, expressed in units, is indicated in the center portion of your Distribution Check or Payment Advice. If you wish to know your percentage ownership of the assets of the Trust, please call Investor Services and we will be happy to provide that information to you.

The aggregate amount being distributed to the Beneficiaries in this second distribution from the Liquidating Trust is $2,997,677.41, which is $5.51 per Liquidating Trust unit. This is NOT the final distribution to the Beneficiaries from the Trust, and the Trust is expected to continue during 2017. We expect to make one final distribution before the end of 2017, after all the remaining financial obligations of the Liquidating Trust have been met.

UPDATES TO YOUR INFORMATION

Changing Your Address – We often get telephone calls from investors asking us to change their address in our records. For your protection, we require all such address changes to be submitted in writing in the following ways:

Changing Your Account Executive – Your Account Executive, if any, is printed at the bottom of your Check stub or on your Payment Advice. If you would like to update your Account Executive information (either because you have a new Account Executive or have discontinued your relationship with the person listed as your Account Executive), please complete the form under the Account Executive Information section and return the form to us. Either provide the contact information for your new Account Executive, or indicate “No Account Executive” if that is your preference.

The Account Executive listed should be a person that you can contact if you have questions about this investment. We send copies of these letters to all the Account Executives that are associated with investors if we have their email information. If you change your Account Executive and don’t notify us, we won’t be able to discuss anything about your investment with the new person until you inform us of the change.

Your distributions are NOT sent to your Account Executive, nor do Account Executives receive copies of your Checks or Payment Advices.

Changing Your Custodian – If your Rancon IV investment is held in an IRA or other qualified plan, all correspondence you receive from Rancon will show the name of the Custodian firm in the address area, above your name. That is also where your distribution is sent, to the main distribution processing office of the Custodian, not to the local branch. You can see where your distribution was sent by looking in the upper right hand corner of your Payment Advice.

Review the address line of your Payment Advice; if the Custodian is incorrect, contact your new Custodian and ask if the paperwork was submitted to us. We are required by law to send distributions to the Custodian listed in our records, and if we do not have the correct information, the payment into your retirement account may be delayed.

No Transfers – Beneficial Interests in the Trust may NOT be transferred in any manner whatsoever (including, without limitation, by sale, exchange, gift, pledge or creation of a security interest) except (a) by bequest or inheritance in the case of the death of an individual Beneficiary, or (b) by operation of law; provided, however, that in no event shall any such transfer by operation of law take place unless the Trustee has received reasonable assurance that the transfer is in compliance with federal and state securities laws.

If you have questions or need additional information, please be certain to contact Investor Services, toll free at 888.909.7774.

Sincerely,

Dan Stephenson	Jeff Henrich
Chairman, Rancon Financial Corporation	Preferred Partnership Services, Inc.
