What is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, is a powerful tax-deferral strategy used by real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling one investment property and reinvesting the proceeds into another similar property. Under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, investors can defer paying capital gains taxes on the sale of qualified properties as long as they reinvest the proceeds into another property of equal or greater value.

What is a DST?

 

A Delaware Statutory Trust, or DST, is a legally recognized real estate investment trust in which investors can purchase ownership interest. Investors who own fractional ownership are known as beneficiaries of the trust – they are considered passive investors.


DSTs, unlike many other co-ownership real estate investment structures, are 1031-eligible. Properties held in DSTs that are considered “like-kind” include retail assets, multifamily properties, self-storage facilities, medical offices, and other types of commercial real estate.
