PASADENA, Calif.: #1031exchange--ExchangeRight, one of the nation’s leading providers of diversified 1031 DST and REIT investments, has fully subscribed its Essential Income 8 DST. This full subscription is part of the company’s Essential Income DST series, designed to provide investors with accelerated access to the Essential Income REIT via a tax-deferred Section 721 exchange after a two-year hold period. Essential Income 8 DST is a closed offering and is not accepting new investors.

Structured as a 100% equity offering, Essential Income 8 DST features a $15.38 million portfolio of net-leased real estate backed by historically recession-resilient tenants, providing investors with a current cash flow rate of 5.50%. The portfolio consists of five properties tenanted by AutoZone, Dollar General, Tractor Supply Company, and Dollar General Market, which together total 57,813 square feet of retail space across Alabama, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Essential Income 8 DST is supported by a 20-year master lease guarantee provided by ExchangeRight’s Essential Income REIT and its Operating Partnership, designed to provide stable income and capital preservation throughout the DST’s hold period.

After approximately two years, Essential Income 8 DST is structured to provide investors a tax-deferred exit via 721 exchange into the Essential Income REIT, designed to provide pro rata access to the REIT’s monthly income, broader diversification, increased growth potential, enhanced liquidity, and estate planning advantages. The Essential Income REIT is currently invested in a diversified portfolio of 436 properties across 38 states with net leases backed by 44 recession-resilient and primarily investment-grade tenants, as of June 30, 2026. There is no guarantee that Essential Income 8 DST will achieve its exit strategy or investment objectives.

“Essential Income 8 DST’s swift subscription underscores the strength of investor appetite for a defined, tax-deferred path into the Essential Income REIT,” said Joshua Ungerecht, a managing partner at ExchangeRight. “This offering provides investors with a clear two-year runway toward the REIT’s growing base of broadly diversified, income-producing real estate, along with the enhanced liquidity and estate planning advantages that come with it.”
