What is the 1031 exchange process with Origin Exchange?

  1. Engage a QI: Work with a qualified intermediary (QI) to open an account to receive your sale proceeds. 
  2. Sell your property: Go through the normal process of selling your asset. At closing, the proceeds will be placed with your QI to maintain 1031 exchange eligibility. 
  3. Identify the Origin DST property: Work with your QI to designate the Origin DST as your replacement property. 
  4. Subscribe and transfer funds: Complete the subscription process, and your QI will wire the funds to the DST. 
  5. Begin receiving distributions: Once your investment closes, you will start receiving monthly distributions immediately. 
  6. DST phase: During the DST phase, you will receive monthly distributions, and any property appreciation earned during your hold period. Income can be offset with depreciation pass-through and filed as usual on Schedule E. 
  7. DST phase tax reporting: You will receive a grantor letter, which you will use to complete Schedule E on your tax return.  
  8. IncomePlus Fund option: After two years, Origin’s IncomePlus Fund has the right to acquire your DST interest. 
  9. 721 exchange into the IncomePlus Fund: If the IncomePlus Fund acquires your DST interest, you will receive operating partnership (OP) units, which are tax-deferred under Section 721. 
  10. IncomePlus Fund phase tax reporting: The IncomePlus Fund OP units will generate a K-1. 
  11. Continued investment returns: Investors in the IPF operating partnership will receive the same returns as the fund, which targets 9% to 11% annual returns.
