What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?

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 learn more about Delaware Statutory Trusts, we encourage investors to read our free eBook titled “The Power of 1031 Exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)” and visit our Resource Center.

The DST structure offers investors the continued tax advantages of owning traditional real estate including 1031 exchange and depreciation in addition to simplified year-end tax documents.

Lower Minimum Investments

1031 Risk Disclosure:

  • There is no guarantee that any strategy will be successful or achieve investment objectives;
  • Potential for property value loss – All real estate investments have the potential to lose value during the life of the investments;
  • Change of tax status – The income stream and depreciation schedule for any investment property may affect the property owner’s income bracket and/or tax status. An unfavorable tax ruling may cancel deferral of capital gains and result in immediate tax liabilities;
  • Potential for foreclosure – All financed real estate investments have potential for foreclosure;
  • Illiquidity – Because 1031 exchanges are commonly offered through private placement offerings and are illiquid securities. There is no secondary market for these investments;
  • Reduction or Elimination of Monthly Cash Flow Distributions – Like any investment in real estate, if a property unexpectedly loses tenants or sustains substantial damage, there is potential for suspension of cash flow distributions;
  • Impact of fees/expenses – Costs associated with the transaction may impact investors’ returns and may outweigh the tax benefits.
