How Reserves Work in Delaware Statutory Trusts
Many elements in Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) work together to provide investors with benefits like steady cash flow, enhanced diversification, and tax-deferral benefits. One of the lesser-discussed aspects is the DST reserve, which plays a crucial part in ensuring the longevity and stability of the investment.
DST Cash Flow Distribution Schedules: Monthly, Quarterly, and Timing Factors
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are popular not only for their passive nature and tax-deferral benefits but also for their stable cash flow through regular distributions of net revenue. As an investor, you receive income based on the agreed-upon frequency—usually monthly or quarterly.
Understanding the Role of the Signatory Trustee in a DST
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are entities that allow investors to earn income from underlying properties. As a trust, the DST naturally has a trustee, but its investment nature means that the trustee isn’t like those in other trusts. In fact, there’s more than one trustee involved in a DST.
Delaware Statutory Trust Fees Explained: What Investors Actually Pay
In recent years, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) have become a popular investment vehicle for passive investors, offering hands-off management and tax-deferral benefits. The steady cash flow is another appealing feature, but the amount you receive as income doesn’t always match the gross revenue you’ll see in financial reports. This discrepancy stems from the fact that DSTs charge fees to cover an array of expenses. Knowing where these costs apply and how they affect your overall return is crucial for understanding the overall DST investment.
Exchanging Vacation Rentals Into DSTs: Satisfying ‘Held for Investment’ Use Tests
If you’re an investor who owns a vacation rental, exchanging into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) may be an appealing strategy. Benefits like passive income and hands-off involvement are akin to owning the rental, minus the headaches of direct ownership. However, entering a DST through a 1031 exchange involves a few rules, one of which is that the properties must be like-kind. In other words, both relinquished and replacement assets must be held for investment.
Lease Renewals and Re-Tenanting in DSTs Given Operational Restrictions
While Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are passive investments that enhance diversification and provide tax-deferral benefits to investors, their restrictive nature creates certain limitations on a few aspects of operations. In this article, Realized 1031 focuses on DST leases and why the trust itself has little to no control over renewals and re-tenanting.
