Understanding 721 UpREITs and 1031 Exchanges
For investors considering a tax deferred exchange, a 721 UpREIT may be an appropriate allocation to consider.

One of the true benefits of the REITs is diversification and potential income stability. Oftentimes a REIT is comprised of $5B - $10B of Real Estate and often spans multiple asset classes to create meaningful diversification.
Estate Planning Benefits of 721 UPREIT Structures
Estate planning is often one of the most overlooked components of real estate investing.

One powerful tool to simplify this transition is the 721 UPREIT structure.
Capital Gains Management with UPREIT Liquidity
For many real estate investors, the 1031 exchange is a powerful way to defer capital gains taxes when selling an investment property. However, once investors transition from active properties to Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) to 721 UPREIT structure, new opportunities for tax planning emerge—particularly when it comes to managing capital gains through liquidity events.
