Questions to Ask
If DSTs Are Right For You

Why a DST May Be a Good
Backup Option for a 1031 Exchange
In a 1031 exchange, ensuring a successful transaction is crucial to avoid significant tax liabilities. If an exchange fails, the investor may face up to 30%-40% in state and federal taxes, along with depreciation recapture and other taxes. To mitigate this risk, savvy investors often identify multiple properties as potential replacements. The IRS provides guidelines to help investors structure their identification process effectively.

How To Use a DST to
Cover for 1031 Boot
Imagine you sell a property and need to reinvest the proceeds into a new property to qualify for the 1031 exchange benefits. The challenge arises when you can’t find a suitable replacement property that uses the full amount of your exchange proceeds. In such cases, any leftover equity can become a “boot,” which is subject to capital gains taxes. This is where DSTs come into play.

Why You Should Think Twice
Before Investing in a DST
Investing in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) has gained popularity among real estate investors, especially those looking to defer capital gains taxes through a passive 1031 exchange investment. However, despite its allure, there are several reasons why one should exercise caution before committing to this type of investment. A quality 1031 advisor should educate investors on the reasons why one should think twice before investing in a DST, not just the potential benefits.

TIC or DST
When comparing investment structures like Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) and Tenancy-in-Common (TICs), it’s crucial to examine several key factors, including liquidity, certainty of close, tax reporting, financing structure, and associated costs and fees. Both DSTs and TICs allow multiple investors to own fractional interests in larger properties, yet they differ significantly in how they handle these aspects. Understanding these differences can help investors make informed decisions about which structure best suits their investment goals and risk tolerance.
