Is a DST Right for You?

A self-assessment of common factors investors weigh when evaluating a DST 1031 replacement option.

You may want to explore a DST if…

  • You're tired of active landlord responsibilities.
  • You're approaching a tight 45-day identification window.
  • You need a precise dollar amount of replacement to absorb leftover equity.
  • You want geographic or asset-type diversification.
  • You qualify as an accredited investor.

A DST may not be a fit if…

  • You need liquidity and the ability to sell on short notice.
  • You want operational control over the asset.
  • You do not meet accredited investor requirements.
  • You require guaranteed income (DST distributions are not guaranteed).
