Panel 4: Tax-Advantaged Real Estate Structures
Delaware statutory trusts, qualified opportunity zones, and non-traded REITs each offer a different approach to placing capital and managing tax exposure. This panel compares the three side by side, covering how sponsors are structuring them today and which investors they suit. Panelists will discuss the diligence questions worth asking up front and the exit considerations that are easy to overlook at entry. A technical session with practical takeaways.
