Sponsor Profile

Reliant

By Jerry Baker · Founder & Managing Principal, Baker 1031 Investments

Reliant is a self-storage sponsor. Every Reliant program in the Baker 1031 full-cycle dataset is a self-storage program, and the firm accounts for the largest block of completed storage programs the dataset holds.

Baker 1031 Investments, LLC is independent of Aurora Securities, Inc. and is not itself a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser; securities are offered through Aurora Securities, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC, by Gerald F. Baker III, a registered representative of Aurora Securities, Inc. Baker 1031 Investments is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Reliant. This page is Baker 1031’s own research profile of the sponsor. Reliant and its logo are trademarks of their respective owner, used here for identification only.

Reliant Overview

Reliant sponsors self-storage programs for 1031 exchange investors. The firm profile below is deliberately short: Baker 1031 publishes assets under management, founding year and headquarters for a sponsor only once those have been confirmed against the sponsor’s own materials, and that work is still open for Reliant. What is on this page instead is the part that has been verified — the completed programs, recomputed from the sponsor’s own offering documents on the same basis used everywhere on this site.

How to read this track record

Reliant’s average is the highest of any sponsor in the dataset, and the reason matters more than the number. The programs are concentrated in one property type, self-storage, over a period when storage values rose sharply, and the average hold is short, which lifts a simple annual return computed as (equity multiple − 1) ÷ holding period. Read it as a description of that run in that sector, not as a rate a storage program is expected to earn next.

This describes the sponsor’s focus only, and should be weighed against the risks common to DST investments — illiquidity, loss of principal, and no guaranteed distributions. Full risk factors are in each offering’s Private Placement Memorandum.

Reliant Track Record

Reliant has 43 full-cycle programs in the Baker 1031 dataset, averaging 34.14% annual return, a 2.44x average equity multiple, and a 4.4-year average hold.
