Michael O'Shea- Origin Investments

Summary

Origin Exchange is a platform that allows investors to participate in 1031 exchanges through Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs). The DSTs are a way to invest in real estate without the transactional and fee-laden nature of traditional DSTs. The equity raise for a DST typically takes three to six months, and investors stay in the DST for about two years. After two years, there is an option to acquire the DST property through the Income Plus Fund. Origin Exchange uses a data-driven approach to identify markets with potential rent growth and focuses on multifamily properties in the Sunbelt region. The platform also offers an exit strategy where investors can be up-readed into the Income Plus Fund, providing a diversified portfolio and eliminating idiosyncratic risk. Origin is a real estate investment firm that offers a unique investment strategy called the Income Plus Fund. This fund allows investors to exchange their real estate holdings into a diversified portfolio of institutional-quality assets without incurring high fees. The fund provides liquidity through a redemption schedule, allowing investors to access their capital if needed.

They carefully select deals based on factors such as location, job growth, population growth, and market demand. Origin has a transparent and honest approach, and their founders have personally invested over $80 million in their deals.
