liquidity benefits that are not standard with DST or property ownership. Partial or full li- quidity may be achieved, poten- tially depending on availability determined by the company, by converting the OP Units to shares of the REIT. Estate Planning - Upon death, shares can be equally split and either held or liqui- dated by the beneficiaries of the trust. Because these shares are passed through a trust, the beneficiaries receive a step-up basis and can avoid capital gains taxes and depreciation recapture. One Important Ca- veat for Investors Interested in 721 Exchanges is that REIT shares themselves are not eligible to be used in a 1031 Exchange, and therefore once a 721 Exchange is completed, this is the end of the line for deferral of capital gains taxes. If the shares of the REIT are sold, or the REIT sells a por- tion of the portfolio and re- turns the investor’s capital, the investors will be required to recognize any capital gains or loss when they file their taxes.

as depreciation recapture. This leaves the investor with less capital for reinvestment. With the 721 exchange, the investor can avoid this hefty tax through a tax-deferred exchange of ap- preciated real estate for shares in an operating partnership. These operating partnership units are also known as OP Units. Capital gains can be deferred until the investor sells the OP Units, converts the OP Units to REIT shares, or the con- tributed property is sold by the acquiring operating partnership. Diversification - Many investors incur concentration risk by owning one property in a single market. REITs tend to own many assets diversified through different markets. The 721 Transaction into a REIT can provide greater diversification for an indi- vidual’s portfolio, which may reduce concentration risk.* Income Potential - Inves- tors potentially will receive income generated through distributions to the holders of the OP Units. Liquidity - The ability to convert OP Units of the REIT to shares can provide potential to New Jersey because there’s a lot of opportunity here from a supply perspective, where New York is much tighter in supply,” Kaufman said. “Many of our New York clients have pivoted to places like Jersey City, where they’re building bigger multifamily projects… they’ll find one or two one- family or two-family homes next to each other, and then they’ll demolish them and build a multifamily property on that plot of land. We see this trend all over New Jersey and New York.” Notably, as a balance sheet lender, Bayport Funding does not sell off loans to others, nor are they tied to third par- ties for approval. Their total control of funding quickly speeds up the time to closing,
