Build Wealth on Your Terms with Breakwater Exchange

Direct title securities from Breakwater Exchange provide a unique blend of independence and structure. Unlike traditional DSTs that require co-investors and sponsor-led exit strategies, our approach gives you total control over the asset while still qualifying for 1031 tax deferral. You own the property through a single-member LLC, receive fixed income during the lease term, and decide when to sell, refinance, or exchange. This structure supports both long-term stability and near-term flexibility.

Direct Title Security Comes With Full Transparency

At Breakwater Exchange, we ensure every direct title security solution is fully traceable and tied to a specific property with a physical address, title ownership, and registered CUSIP number. Our team delivers a detailed offering package, including a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), customized supplement, and subscription agreement, so you receive documentation, clarity, and confidence, guided by expert support from day one.

An unfavorable tax ruling may cancel deferral of capital gains and result in immediate tax liabilities; Potential for foreclosure – All fnanced real estate investments have potential for foreclosure; Illiquidity –These assets are commonly offered through private placement offerings and are illiquid securities.

Opportunity Zones Disclosures
Investing in opportunity zones is speculative. Opportunity zones are newly formed entities with no operating history. There is no assurance of investment return, property appreciation, or profits. The ability to resell the fund’s underlying investment properties or businesses is not guaranteed. Investing in opportunity zone funds may involve a higher level of risk than investing in other established real estate offerings. Long-term investment. Opportunity zone funds have illiquid underlying investments that may not be easy to sell and the return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment will generally occur only upon the partial or complete disposition or refinancing of such investments. Limited secondary market for redemption. Although secondary markets may provide a liquidity option in limited circumstances, the amount you will receive typically is discounted to current valuations. Difficult valuation assessment. The portfolio holdings in opportunity zone funds may be difficult to value because financial markets or exchanges do not usually quote or trade the holdings. As such, market prices for most of a fund’s holdings will not be readily available. Capital call default consequences. Meeting capital calls to provide managers with the pledged capital is a contractual obligation of each investor. Failure to meet this requirement in a timely manner could elicit significant adverse consequences, including, without limitation, the forfeiture of your interest in the fund. Leverage. Opportunity zone funds may use leverage in connection with certain investments or participate in investments with highly leveraged capital structures. Leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and may increase the exposure of such investments to factors such as rising interest rates, downturns in the economy or deterioration in the condition of the assets underlying such investments. Unregistered investment. As with other unregistered investments, the regulatory protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not available with unregistered securities. Regulation. It is possible, due to tax, regulatory, or investment decisions, that a fund, or its investors, are unable realize any tax benefits. You should evaluate the merits of the underlying investment and not solely invest in an opportunity zone fund for any potential tax advantage.
