In this Dakota Research Interview, Chris LeRoy and Alex DeMarco sit down with Warren Thomas, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of ExchangeRight, to explore how the firm built a $6.6B real estate platform focused on 1031 exchanges and net lease investing. Warren shares how ExchangeRight has never missed a rent payment across 1,350+ properties, and how the team delivers bond-like, recession-resilient income through portfolios of essential businesses like FedEx, Kroger, and Fresenius. From tax deferral strategies and estate planning advantages to vertical integration and long-term tenant stability, this episode offers deep insight into how ExchangeRight helps investors exit active property management while maximizing income and downside protection.
