-- Midwest CRE Advisors is pleased to announce the successful closing of a 503-home single-family rental portfolio located throughout the Midwest in a transaction involving Flock Homes, a technology-enabled real estate platform specializing in tax-efficient ownership transitions for residential investors.
The transaction represents one of the more notable single-family rental portfolio transfers completed in the Midwest and highlights the growing use of tax-efficient exits for retiring owners. Midwest CRE Advisors served as the relationship catalyst and strategic intermediary behind the transaction.
“This transaction is a prime example of how evolving investment structures can provide long-term owners succession solutions while allowing them to remain invested in real estate,” said Logan Freeman, Principal at Midwest CRE Advisors. “We worked to align investment objectives and ownership goals for the seller and were able to match them to a unique acquirer.”
The acquisition was completed utilizing a 721 Exchange structure, allowing the seller to contribute the portfolio in exchange for ownership interests in Flock's Operating Partnership on a tax-deferred basis. Unlike a traditional sale, the 721 structure enabled the owner to transition away from day-to-day management responsibilities, defer taxes, but also maintain exposure to future real estate appreciation and income generation.
Historically utilized by institutional investors and large real estate owners, 721 Exchanges, often referred to as UPREIT transactions, have increasingly gained attention as private investors seek alternatives to conventional dispositions and 1031 exchanges.
Founded in 2020, Flock Homes has emerged as a leader in providing individual landlords and portfolio owners access to institutional-quality diversification through its technology-enabled platform. Through the 721 Exchange model, owners may contribute properties into a diversified fund while deferring capital gains taxes and eliminating ongoing operational responsibilities.
“There's a generation of landlords who have built significant wealth in residential real estate and now want out of the day-to-day. But the traditional options force a false choice between a large tax bill and continued headaches,” said Ari Rubin, founder and CEO of Flock Homes. “The 721 Exchange resolves that. Owners contribute their properties directly into a diversified portfolio, defer capital gains, and stay invested in residential real estate on a passive basis.”
The opportunity originated through Exit to Excellence, a founder transition advisory firm that helps business owners navigate succession planning, exit planning, and life after the sale of a business. Exit to Excellence introduced Midwest CRE Advisors to the seller as part of its work helping owners evaluate strategic transition options. Learn more at exittoexcellence.com.
The transaction further reinforces Midwest CRE Advisors' ability to connect private owners with emerging capital sources and sophisticated investment structures across multiple asset classes throughout the Midwest.
