Featured Video – What is an UPREIT or 721 Exchange?

By Edward E. Fernandez | April 10, 2025

Real estate investors exploring tax-deferral strategies beyond the traditional 1031 exchange may find value in a 721 exchange—also known as an UPREIT transaction. This strategy allows you to exchange investment real estate for Operating Partnership (OP) units in a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), potentially deferring capital gains taxes while gaining access to a diversified, income-producing portfolio.

In our newest YouTube video, we break down how a 721 exchange works, the advantages it can offer—like liquidity, diversification, and passive income—and important considerations to keep in mind.

Watch now to see if a 721 exchange aligns with your investment strategy.
