Investing in American housing for the long-term has paid off.

Including appreciation and rental income, US homes have returned an average of nearly 9% a year for more than a century,1 and real estate comes with favorable tax treatment.

QuarterlyCash flow

Dollar for dollar. Keep all your hard-earned equity.

Instead of selling, you contribute your rental homes to a professionally managed portfolio and receive shares in the partnership that owns it. That’s a 721 exchange. Your homes come in at what they’re actually worth, not a discounted offer, so your equity transfers dollar for dollar. And because nothing is sold, nothing is taxed at the time of exchange.

Your rental homes

Income, appreciation and depreciation from your homes.

721 Exchange

Title transfers.
No tax at exchange.

Shares in the partnership

Income, appreciation and depreciation from the whole portfolio.

You still own real estate. Now it’s through a partnership.

You did the hard part: buying well, holding through the cycles, keeping the properties in good condition, looking after your residents. Now the partnership carries the work, and you keep the income and the upside.

Quarterly cash flow. Shares that can appreciate.

Rent from the whole portfolio, every quarter, plus any appreciation on your shares.

Illustrative. Distributions vary with account value and are not guaranteed.

    The usual exits force you to choose between paying the tax or keeping the headaches

    Sell and lose a third of what you built. Hold and keep managing. A 1031 or DST allows you to defer, but adds deadlines, fees, and complexity. Flock Homes offers another way.

    Still have questions? Call (720) 703-9992 or chat with us.

    How does Flock Homes make money?

    A one-time 6% onboarding fee from your equity, then 1.5% of NAV a year. No performance fee.
