Toilets, Tenants & Trash

With your wise decision to own real estate, you're already far ahead fo the average investor.  But management intensive properties and dwindling returns have many investors singing the blues. 

Tenants, toilets, and trash are the bane of many property owners.  Daily headaches, lack of time, freedom, and lower monthly cash flows might tempt you to sell.  But simply selling isn't your only option.  Keeping real estate in your investment portfolio is important to you, and selling a highly appreciated asset could result in significant capital gains taxes.  

Benefits of a DST 1031 Exchange

A 1031 exchange may allow you to defer gains from the sale of real property to a more opportune time.  You may be able to diversify your portfolio by geography, type of investment, and industry while still matching debt/equity requirements of the code by exchanging into a professionally managed Delaware Statutory Trust property.  With a DST 1031 Exchange, you receive passive income without management responsibility, that's retirement. 

Some benefits of a DST 1031 Exchange include, but are not limited to: 

  • Income paid monthly (with most sponsors). 1
  • Help to reduce the stress of mandated 45 and 180 day 1031 Exchange deadlines. 
  • The ability to partially shelter income through proportional participation in interest deductions and property depreciation. 
  • No day-to-day management.
  • Professional property and asset management. 
  • Commercial assets available nationally. 
  • Quarterly and annual performance reporting and analysis. 
  • Ability to utilize IRC 1031 again in the future upon disposition of current securitized fractional real property investment.2
  • Pre-arranged financing with non-recourse loan structure in most cases.
