The process
Three steps. That's it.
Most investors spend weeks searching for 1031 replacement property. Yieldhouse cuts that to hours — with institutional inventory, instant due diligence, and a team that coordinates everything alongside your QI.
01 / IDENTIFY
Tell us your exchange amount
Enter your relinquished property proceeds. We immediately match you to available properties at the right size — from a single $280K home to the full 156-home portfolio at $52.8M.
⏱ Minutes — not weeks
02 / REVIEW
Receive the full due diligence package
Same business day: lease agreement, HAP contract with payment history, HQS inspection report, 2025 tax records, and title documentation — everything your attorney and QI need to proceed.
⏱ Same business day
03 / CLOSE
Close and collect day-one income
We coordinate directly with your QI, your attorney, and title simultaneously. Target close is 30–45 days from executed contract — well inside your 180-day window. Tenant is already paying on day one.
⏱ 30–45 days to close

Exchange flexibility
We match any exchange size.
Whether you're exchanging out of a single rental property or a large commercial portfolio, Yieldhouse has inventory to match — individual assets, curated tranches, or the full portfolio.
$280K – $500K
Single-property exchange
One SFR replacement property. Identify and close on a single asset within your 45-day window. Perfect for investors rolling out of a single rental or small commercial property.
Example: Seller of a $320K rental → 1 DFW SFR, $3,182/mo rent, 9.2% CoC
$500K – $5M
Multi-property exchange
Identify 2–10 replacement properties under the 3-property rule. Spread your exchange across DFW and Houston for diversification, different price points, and multiple income streams.
Example: Seller of a $1.2M apartment → 4 SFRs across DFW and Houston
$5M – $52.8M
Portfolio / institutional exchange
Tranche or full-portfolio acquisition. We can structure 10–156 homes as a single exchange transaction — or work with your QI on a PIN or partnership structure for dissolving partnerships.
Example: Exiting commercial investor → full 156-home Section 8 portfolio
Yieldhouse vs. alternatives
Why direct ownership beats a DST.
DSTs are often the default recommendation because they're easy for advisors to sell. But they come with real costs — fees, loss of control, and no upside. Direct SFR ownership through Yieldhouse is simpler than a DST and keeps 100% of the upside with you.

The process
How Yieldhouse simplifies your exchange
From the moment you know your exchange proceeds to the day you receive your first HAP check — here's exactly how it works.
1
Tell us your exchange amount and deadline
Register on Yieldhouse with your approximate exchange proceeds and your 45-day identification deadline. We surface matching properties immediately — same day, no waiting for a broker to call you back.
Timeline: Day 0 — minutes after you register
2
Receive the full due diligence package
For any property that interests you, we deliver the complete due diligence package the same business day: executed lease, HAP contract with 12-month payment history, most recent HQS inspection, 2025 property tax records, and title chain. Everything your attorney needs to proceed.
Timeline: Same business day
3
We coordinate with your QI, attorney, and title
Once you're ready to proceed, Yieldhouse coordinates directly with your Qualified Intermediary, your real estate attorney, and the title company simultaneously. You don't manage three separate parties — we do that for you.
Timeline: Days 1–14
4
Close and collect your first check
Target close is 30–45 days from executed contract — well inside your 180-day exchange window. The tenant is already in place, the HAP contract is already active, and the property manager is already handling compliance. Your first government-backed check arrives without you lifting a finger.
Timeline: 30–45 days from contract → exchange complete

Education
The 1031 Exchange Plain-English Guide
Everything you need to know about using a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains and move into income-producing Texas real estate.
What is a 1031 exchange?
Under IRC Section 1031, when you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into like-kind property, you can defer 100% of your capital gains tax. Every SFR on Yieldhouse qualifies as like-kind replacement property.
The two critical deadlines
45 days — Identification deadline
From the close of your relinquished property, you must formally identify replacement property in writing to your QI.
180 days — Close deadline
You must close on your replacement property within 180 days. Yieldhouse targets 30–45 days — leaving you plenty of buffer.
The 3-property rule
Under IRS rules, you may identify up to three properties regardless of total value, or any number of properties whose combined value doesn't exceed 200% of your relinquished property's sale price. Most Yieldhouse buyers identify 2–4 properties within their 45-day window.
