Using Multiple DSTs to Satisfy the 3-Property and 200% Identification Rules
If investors choose to invest through a 1031 exchange for the tax-deferral benefits, they'll need to understand the many rules that govern the transaction. One of these rules is the 45-day identification period, which is further complicated by the minimum number of properties they are required to identify. Thankfully, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) have features that help investors easily satisfy these requirements.
Tenant Default in a Single-Tenant DST: Lease Remedies, Cash Flow Interruption, and Investor Protections
Various arrangements can occur in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), but the passive income and tax-deferral benefits remain the same. One of these structures is the single-tenant DST, which is when the trust owns an asset with a single financially strong tenant. While this arrangement offers stable income and requires less burdensome oversight, tenant default remains a risk that could result in cash flow interruption if it occurs.
Master Tenant vs. Delaware Trustee: Who Does What in a DST?
As you enter a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) for tax-deferral and diversification benefits, you’ll learn lots of specifics, like the concept of the master tenant and the DST trustee. You may find these terms confusing because of their similarities, but the master tenant and trustee are two totally distinct parties. Knowing the differences helps you understand how your investment is managed and protected.
Bankruptcy-Remote Structures in DSTs: How Investor Liability Is Isolated
Many modern investors find Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) appealing because they offer tax-deferral benefits and diversification without the headaches of hands-on management. Beyond these well-known benefits, these investments also follow a bankruptcy-remote structure that helps protect investors from liabilities tied to sponsors and other investors.
Why DSTs Don’t Do Capital Calls (and How Sponsors Manage Major Repairs)
Investors find Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) appealing because the structure allows for hands-off involvement, enhanced diversification, and tax deferral through 1031 exchanges. The same structure that provides these advantages, however, creates certain limitations, such as the fact that DSTs cannot make capital calls to address repairs and other contingencies.
Depreciation in DSTs Post-Exchange: What Carries Over and What Resets?
As you invest from a 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), one concern that you might want to consider is depreciation. What happens to the depreciation from the previous property? Do you get a fresh start now that the DST has several underlying income-generating assets? The answer isn’t straightforward, but it’s largely reliant on how tax laws view your basis, what’s considered “new,” and what “carries over.”
State Sourcing of DST Income for Nonresidents (and When Composite Returns Make Sense)
Investing in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) gives you access to income from several underlying properties within the DST. This structure offers benefits such as enhanced diversification and revenue from institutional-grade assets. Tax-deferral benefits, at the federal level, are also applicable when you finish a 1031 exchange through a DST.
The Passive Real Estate Spectrum: From Traded REITs to DSTs and Interval Funds
For investment property owners seeking a hassle-free way to maintain their real estate exposure, passive real estate investments offer an appealing array of options. 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.
DST Reserves, Return of Capital, and Their Impact on Adjusted Basis
When you choose to invest in Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) for tax deferral or passive income benefits, your attention is usually entirely on the tax benefits and profitability. However, the finer details (like reserves and return of capital) also deserve your close inspection, because these can affect your DST adjusted basis and, by extension, long-term tax outcomes.
Passive Losses and DSTs: What Happens to Suspended Losses After an Exchange?
Investors who want benefits like tax deferral and passive income find Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) an appealing and suitable option. During your investment, however, you may encounter passive losses, particularly from the depreciation of the underlying DST properties. This accounting consideration raises a question: what happens to suspended losses after an exchange?
