Income Targeting vs. Total Return in Passive Property Vehicles
In the world of real estate investment, particularly when dealing with passive property vehicles such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), investors must often choose between two distinct strategies: income targeting and total return. Each approach offers unique benefits and risks, suited to different investor goals and market conditions.
Inflation Linkage in Passive Real Estate
Inflation is a persistent concern for investors, particularly those with portfolios steeped in real estate. As prices of goods and services rise, purchasing power diminishes, posing risks to investments that do not appreciate alongside inflation. However, real estate, especially when managed passively, can offer a robust counterbalance to inflationary pressures, making it an appealing choice for savvy property owners.

Among the most prominent choices are Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), and Interval Funds. These vehicles allow investors to participate in the real estate market without the day-to-day demands of property management.
