PASADENA, Calif. — Tenants occupying properties in ExchangeRight's Net-Leased Portfolio 71 DST, a closed offering that is not accepting new investors (Tuesday, January 6, 2026).

The offering consists of 12 long-term net-leased properties that have an initial weighted average lease term of 10.9 years and are tenanted by historically recession-resilient companies such as Aldi, Conviva, Natural Grocers, Dollar General Market, and O’Reilly Auto Parts. The portfolio’s properties span 12 markets across 9 states, and 148,503 square feet of retail space.

As part of ExchangeRight’s aggregation strategy, Net-Leased Portfolio 71 DST is designed with the end in mind, a future aggregation into ExchangeRight’s Essential Income REIT. Through its vertically integrated platform, ExchangeRight intends to provide investors access to long-term tax-advantaged income with enhanced diversification, liquidity, and optionality. At exit, investors may have the opportunity to participate in a tax-deferred 721 exchange into the REIT, in addition to other strategic exit options including a 1031 exchange, cash-out, or a combination of these options. There is no guarantee that the DST’s or the Sponsor’s objectives, including its exit strategies, will be achieved.

“Our Net-Leased Portfolio platform is designed to benefit investors through every stage of the offering life cycle,” said Warren Thomas, managing partner at ExchangeRight. “Net-Leased Portfolio 71 DST not only provides investors consistent monthly income covered by in-place revenues, but is also structured with the opportunity to participate in a tax-deferred 721 exchange into the Essential Income REIT in addition to other potential exit options.” The past performance of ExchangeRight does not guarantee future performance or exit optionality.
