What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) holds title to real estate and allows multiple investors to own a fractional share. DSTs are commonly used in 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains taxes while earning passive income from professionally managed properties.

Do DST properties qualify for 1031 exchanges?

According to IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-86, a properly structured DST investment can qualify for 1031 exchange tax deferral. With a DST, investors own shares of a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate that is institutionally managed on their behalf. The DST holds title to real estate and is structured to shield its owners from personal liability, while entitling them to a pro rata share of the rental income, tax deductions, long-term growth potential, and estate planning benefits of the underlying real estate.
