What is a DST?

Delaware Statutory Trusts or DSTs, are real estate investment vehicles that allow individual investors to invest in commercial investment properties of similar size and quality of those owned by REITs, pension funds, insurance companies and other large institutional investors. 

DSTs are 1031 exchange eligible and investors may exchange into one or more DSTs due to low investment minimums. 

These professionally managed, passive investments, can offer investors the potential for tax-advantaged monthly income that could be fully sheltered from income tax liability. 

Additionally, DSTs offer significant geographic and property type diversification. Properties are available throughout the United States and include multifamily apartment communities, medical office, self-storage, student housing and industrial buildings. 

1031 exchange eligible DSTs offer investors the ability to eliminate landlord responsibilities, potentially generate monthly income and tax benefits, and by combining multiple DSTs, create a customized portfolio that may reduce overall investment risk.
