Overview

1031 Crowdfunding occupies the digital end of the securitized 1031 market, operating an online marketplace—founded in 2014 by Edward Fernandez—that aggregates Delaware Statutory Trust interests, non-traded REIT shares, Qualified Opportunity Zone funds and private-credit offerings for accredited exchangers. The platform's differentiation is distribution rather than sponsorship: it lowers the friction and minimums that have historically gated 1031 replacement property, layering a proprietary technology stack and in-house REIT over a senior-housing and medical-asset tilt. For investors, the appeal is breadth and accessibility; the trade-off is that the firm sits closer to a curator and conduit than to a vertically integrated operator with its own balance-sheet track record.

Strategy & advantages

Earliest mover among online 1031 marketplaces, a digital-distribution edge that reaches self-directed exchangers at scale rather than through the traditional broker-dealer channel.
Runs a proprietary investor-facing technology platform that compresses search, suitability and subscription into one online workflow.
Tilts its curated shelf toward senior-housing and medical assets, a needs-based product bias rather than a generic DST menu.
Sponsors its own in-house non-traded REIT, capturing economics across the value chain rather than acting purely as a conduit.
Markets unusually low minimums, widening the accredited-investor funnel versus higher-entry competitors.

Important disclosures. Sponsor information and performance metrics are sponsor-reported and compiled by Baker 1031 from sponsor and public sources; they have not been independently verified and are subject to change. Full-cycle returns, equity multiples, hold periods, and success rates reflect realized programs only (survivorship bias), are averaged across differing assets, vintages, and structures, are net of fees and program expenses, and are not indicative of future results and not a recommendation. Designation as a preferred sponsor reflects Baker’s due-diligence coverage, not an endorsement or guarantee. For accredited investors only; not an offer or solicitation. Securities offered through Aurora Securities, Inc. (ASI), member FINRA/SIPC; subject to registered-principal approval.

Most exchanges are won before the clock starts.

A 1031 exchange runs on hard deadlines — 45 days to identify, 180 to close. The decision behind it deserves more room than that. Reach Jerry directly, while every option is still open.
