ExchangeRight Fully Subscribes $15.38 Million Essential Income 8 DST — What It Signals for 1031 Exchange Investors
A $15.38 million DST just fully subscribed… closed to new investors before most people even heard about it.
That's not a pitch for this specific deal. It's already gone. But it's a reminder of something I tell every client evaluating a 1031 exchange: good DST offerings don't wait around for your 45-day identification clock to catch up.
New article breaks down what happened with ExchangeRight's Essential Income 8 DST, how the 721 UPREIT structure works, and the diligence questions you should be asking before you ever get to the "sign here" page.
1031 Exchange Rules, Deadlines, and Requirements: The Timeline That Determines Whether You Keep Your Tax Deferral
45 days. 180 days. That's it. That's the entire window you get to execute one of the most powerful tax-deferral strategies in real estate… and most investors don't find out how tight that window is until they're already in it.
I've seen well-prepared investors lose their entire tax deferral over a missed identification deadline. Not because the deal was bad. Because nobody briefed the timeline in advance.
New article breaks down exactly what has to happen, in what order, and by when: the 45-day identification rules, the 180-day close, the Qualified Intermediary requirement, and the checklist I walk clients through before they ever list a property.
A 33-Acre Land Deal Just Closed Outside D.C. — Here's the Wealth Lesson Every Investor Should Steal From It
A 33-acre land deal just closed outside D.C., and it's not the size of the property that matters. It's the strategy behind it.
Most investors chase the next hot deal. The ones who actually build lasting wealth? They position early, hold with discipline, and know exactly how to execute their exit.
What Is a 1031 Exchange — And Why Every Serious Real Estate Investor Should Understand It Before Their Next Sale
Most investors don't lose money on the buy. They lose it on the exit.
I've watched sharp, disciplined property owners hand over six figures to the IRS — not because they made a bad investment, but because nobody briefed them on the exit before they sold.
There's a rule in the tax code that can change that. It's called a 1031 exchange, and most people only learn how it works after it's too late to use it.
Full breakdown in today's article — how it works, the deadlines that make or break it, and where DSTs fit for investors ready to trade active management for passive freedom.

US Industrial Real Estate 2026–2027: Why We’re Finally Seeing the Light at the End of the Supply Tunnel
Right now, entering Q2 2026, the U.S. industrial vacancy rate sits firmly in the mid-7% range. CoStar expects it to nudge even higher into the upper-7% zone by early 2027 before it starts its gradual descent.
Leasing has actually held up better than many predicted. Net absorption (move-ins minus move-outs) remains steady, with a seasonal bump expected later in 2026 as build-to-suit projects finish and tenants move in. But the supply pipeline built since 2022 is still working its way through the system, so absorption feels sluggish in the near term.
