DSTs Explained: Simplifying Your Real Estate Investments

The Challenges Property Owners Face

Owning and managing real estate can be rewarding, but it often comes with significant challenges:

Tax Burden on the Sale: When you sell a property, capital gains taxes can eat away at your hard-earned equity, leaving you with less to invest for your future.
Management Headaches: Whether you’re managing properties yourself or overseeing property managers, the responsibilities can be overwhelming and time-consuming, especially as you look toward retirement.
Generating Sustainable Income: After taxes are paid, many property owners struggle to generate enough income from their reduced net proceeds, making retirement planning more stressful than necessary.

‍

The Solution: Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)

A DST offers a powerful, IRS-approved strategy for property owners looking to defer taxes, simplify their investments, and create reliable income streams. Here’s how it works:

Tax Deferral Through a 1031 Exchange: By reinvesting the proceeds from your sale into a DST, you can defer capital gains taxes, preserving more of your equity for future growth and income.
Elimination of Management Hassles: A DST allows you to step away from the daily grind of property management. Professional asset managers handle everything, so you can enjoy truly passive income.
Targets Stable and Predictable Income: DSTs are designed to provide consistent monthly income from high-quality, professionally managed properties. Depending on your situation, most of this income can be tax-sheltered, making it an attractive solution for retirement.
Diversification and Security: Investing in a DST gives you access to a diversified portfolio of institutional-grade properties, such as multifamily housing, healthcare facilities, industrial buildings, and more. This diversification aims to reduce risk while targeting consistent returns.

How DSTs Fit Your Retirement Goals

By transitioning your investment into a DST, you can:

Avoid the immediate tax hit that comes with selling a property.
Secure a passive income stream that aims to protect your principal.
Potentially preserve more wealth for your heirs by leveraging the advantages of a stepped-up cost basis.
