Origin Investments Launches Origin Exchange Program

Origin Investments, a multifamily investment solutions provider, is launching Origin Exchange, an investment program that allows qualified 1031 exchange investors to realize tax advantages, access institutional-quality multifamily properties, and estate-planning efficiencies at reduced fee structures.

The Origin program establishes a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) to acquire and manage real estate consistent with the firm’s stringent investment criteria. “The 1031 exchange industry is notorious for sky-high fees, and investors deserve a better choice,” said Michael Episcope, co-CEO of Origin Investments.  Our goal is to upend this market by cutting out the middleman, offering high-quality investments, and simplifying the lives of investors who no longer want to actively manage real estate.” 

Origin has appointed Michael O’Shea to vice president of Origin Exchange to oversee the program. “With Origin Exchange, we are creating access for investors who can come directly to Origin Investments rather than having to add another step or point of contact,” O’Shea said. “Equally as important, Origin’s fee structure is a small fraction of what others typically charge.”
