Direct Title Security Solutions

Breakwater Exchange’s direct title security solutions are built for investors who want the benefits of tax deferral without giving up control. With a single-member LLC structure, you retain full decision-making authority.

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.
