Overview
Baker Diversified Real Estate REIT owns income property across sectors and markets and distributes most of its taxable income monthly. One investment buys a slice of the whole portfolio rather than a single building, with pricing set by periodic net-asset-value appraisals.
It is not a 1031 vehicle on its own, but a property owner can contribute real estate into the REIT through a 721 exchange and defer the gain. Liquidity comes from a share-repurchase program the board can cap or suspend, so treat it as a multi-year holding.

Analyst Notes
A diversified income holding and a natural 721 destination. Suited to investors who value diversification over daily liquidity.
Pros. One-ticket diversification, monthly income, favorable REIT tax treatment, and a low entry point.
Cons. Redemptions are limited and can be paused, NAV pricing lags a live market, and fees weigh on early returns.
