Here's how Flock makes it work.
The 721 exchange, made accessible to landlords.
Section 721 of the US Internal Revenue Code (“the 721 exchange”) is a tax strategy that has been used by Wall Street investors since the 1950s.Flock Homes is the first to bring it to individual investors. With Flock, landlords can use the 721 exchange to seamlessly exchange their rental properties, tax-free, for direct ownership in a residential real estate fund.
