The Up Plex Mission
Elevating others by providing wealth-building, passive investment opportunities through real estate.
It’s a known fact that owning real estate can be one of the best passive investment vehicles for you. More specifically, apartment buildings and commercial real estate. However, it also comes with an incredible amount of complexities in trying to acquire such assets and we’ve found that to be the reason most beginner investors shy away from pursuing.
So we set out to make it more attainable for investors to invest in these incredible wealth-building assets with confidence. As a limited partner, you get to leverage our time, network, and decades of experience to create peace of mind with every investment you make with us. We do our best to mitigate as much risk as possible. So much so that we won’t offer an opportunity that we aren’t investing in ourselves.

Our Success Formula
Underwriting & Negotiating
Detailed underwriting determines the amount of negotiating that can be done with a seller on price and terms. Our experience allows us to properly analyze an asset and mitigate as much risk as possible for our investors.
Contract Review / Due Diligence
We have established the best legal and due diligence teams for our syndications. This allows us to simultaneously expedite two incredibly time-consuming tasks that most beginning investors struggle with.
Closing & Reassessment
There is more to closing than just signing on the dotted line and handing over the keys. There is an equal amount of critical work that needs to be completed soon after to ensure the success of a syndication.
Enacting Business Plan / CapEx
We identify and prioritize the necessary projects and execute them based on funding and critical need. Simultaneously, our expert CapEx team gets to work by coordinating with asset and property managers to assist in stabilizing the property.
Stabilization / Refinance
This process usually takes just over 2 years (depending on the market) and involves everything from completing CapEx, to ensuring organic fair market rent growth, to managing tenant turnover, all while working to decrease expenses.
Sale/Disposition
When it comes time to sell, we prepare the property to show as cost-effectively as possible. Once sold, we ensure that we properly close out business transactions and 3 months after the sale, we deliver all sales proceeds (return of capital) to our investors.

Bonus Depreciation Is BACK (Forever!) — And That’s Only 1 of 6 Huge Investor Wins
If you're investing in real estate (or thinking about it), this is something you’ll want to pay attention to.
Congress just passed what's being called the "One Big Beautiful Bill" — and for real estate investors, it's a total game-changer.
This isn’t just another bill with vague promises. It brings real, tangible benefits that could completely reshape how you invest, build wealth, and plan for the long term.
Let’s break it down.
1. 100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back — And It’s Here to Stay
Yes, you read that right. Full bonus depreciation has been restored permanently.
You can now deduct the entire cost of qualifying real estate assets in the first year—creating powerful cash flow and turning tight deals into profitable ones.
This is one of the most investor-friendly tax moves we’ve seen in years.
2. 1031 Exchanges and Carried Interest Are Safe
Some feared these tools might disappear. They didn’t.
1031 exchanges and carried interest rules remain protected under the new law, allowing investors to continue deferring capital gains and building wealth across multiple deals without heavy tax penalties.
3. QBI Deduction Made Permanent (With Higher Income Limits)
The Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction is now permanent — and thresholds have been raised.
That means pass-through entity owners can deduct 20% of their income permanently, even at higher earnings levels. More tax savings, more retained income.
4. Opportunity Zones Are Now Permanent — With New Perks
Opportunity Zones are sticking around, and they’ve been improved.
Designations now renew every 10 years, and full capital gains exclusions still apply for long-term investors (10+ years). Plus, rural zones now come with added incentives, opening up new growth markets.
5. Estate and Gift Tax Exemption Increased
Starting in 2026, the estate and gift tax exemption will increase to $30 million per couple, adjusted for inflation.
That means more wealth passed on, tax-free, for families thinking about legacy and long-term planning.
6. SALT Deduction Cap Raised to $40,000
For investors in high-tax states like New York, California, and New Jersey, the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap has been increased from $10,000 to $40,000.
That’s a major boost to your after-tax income — and a long-awaited fix for many.
Why This Matters
Most tax policy changes create complexity. This one does the opposite.
The "One Big Beautiful Bill" gives investors what we’ve been needing: clarity, consistency, and powerful tools for long-term planning.
Whether you're:
Syndicating deals
Buying and holding
Developing ground-up
Scaling your portfolio
This law creates a rare, generational window to optimize your strategy and build real wealth.
What’s Next?
If you're serious about building wealth through real estate while minimizing taxes, this is your moment.
We're already leveraging these changes in our upcoming deals — and we’d love to show you how.
