What they do

Large net-lease DST sponsor (claims $7.8B AUM). Affiliated FINRA broker-dealer has no disclosures. Many DST Form Ds on EDGAR. Plaintiff law firms advertise 'investor loss investigations' and a 2026 FINRA claim reportedly targets a selling broker over an ExchangeRight DST; federal suits found are ADA/contract matters, not fraud.

Public-record summary. Category: 1031 / DST sponsor (S12). Fees: In private placement memoranda (not public); fund-level fees in ExchangeRight Income Fund SEC filings.
