Exchange-X exclusively offers Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) properties which qualify as “Like-Kind” for 1031 exchange. Most other “Crowdfunding” platforms offer Regulation A or Regulation CF funds which do not qualify as “Like-Kind”, therefore there is no tax benefit.

In addition, other crowdfunding sites typically partner with smaller, less established sponsors. At Exchange-X, we partner with well-established sponsor firms who deliver investment-ready properties with average deal sizes exceeding $30 million.

Once completed, a licensed professional will reach out to assist with any further questions.

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal entity (similar to an LLC) created under Delaware law that permits fractional ownership of real estate assets. DSTs are classified as “direct interests” and possess the unique ability to qualify for 1031 exchange. Tax benefits include depreciation, mortgage interest deductions, and many more.

To successfully complete a 1031 exchange, a Qualified Intermediary (QI) must take “constructive receipt” of the sales proceeds at the time of close. If the sale has occurred and the seller has taken receipt of the proceeds, the exchange is invalid.

A Qualified Intermediary also known as QI plays a pivotal role in all stages of the exchange process and is necessary to successfully complete a 1031 exchange. At Exchange-X, we work with several Qualified Intermediaries throughout the country. Please reach out to us for a complete list of QIs.

Sales Price – Adjusted Basis – Cost of Sale (expenses) = Capital Gain

Capital gain tax is tax on the growth in value of an investment when a sale or transfer occurs. When an asset is sold, the gain or loss is considered “realized” by the IRS thus creating a taxable or non-taxable event. Capital gains are the difference from the original cost basis and the adjusted basis after all expenses.
