Download the 6 Page Thought Leadership on Understanding 1031 Exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trustse

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a 1031 exchange investment structure that gives investors partial ownership of institutional quality properties that are managed by outside professionals. DST investments can help investors diversify their portfolio geographically, by asset type and by industry sector - providing access to properties and locations that they may not be able to acquire on their own. In addition, DSTs are professionally managed, which removes the headache of property management for the investor.


You may want to look into a 1031 Exchange if You Are:

  • Selling a business

  • Retiring from “active management” in real estate

  • The owner of farmland

  • Looking to upgrade or diversify your real estate holdings

  • Estate planning
