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.

Key strategies & 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.
