Frequently Asked Questions About DST Advisors

What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?▾

A DST is a legal entity that holds title to investment real estate, allowing multiple investors to own fractional interests in institutional-grade properties. DSTs qualify as like-kind replacement property under IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-86, making them eligible for 1031 exchanges.

What are the advantages of investing in a DST for a 1031 exchange?▾

DSTs offer passive management (no landlord responsibilities), access to institutional-quality properties, potential monthly income distributions, portfolio diversification, and the ability to close quickly to meet tight 1031 exchange deadlines. Minimum investments typically start at $100,000.

What are the risks of DST investments?▾

DST investors cannot make major decisions about the property (like refinancing or capital improvements), the investments are illiquid with typical hold periods of 5-10 years, and returns are not guaranteed. Always review the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and conduct thorough due diligence.

How does a DST advisor help with my 1031 exchange?▾

A DST advisor sources suitable DST offerings, evaluates sponsor track records and property quality, helps you diversify across multiple properties and asset types, coordinates with your qualified intermediary, and ensures the investment structure meets IRS 1031 requirements.
