5 Things to Consider Before Investing in a Multifamily DST
In an environment of increasing property values and interest rates, realizing a return on real estate is becoming increasingly difficult for investors, whether it be an investment into direct property or a fractional ownership structure, such as a Delaware Statutory Trust. While this may be a concern for most, as 89% of investors put their money into real estate1, many are ignoring the crucial aspects of a real estate investment that go beyond the macroeconomic pressures.
A DST For Your Cash Investment
Investing in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) provides an opportunity to diversify your investment portfolio with real estate holdings while requiring minimal management effort. DSTs allow qualified investors to gain fractional ownership in large, professionally managed properties, offering potential income streams and tax advantages similar to direct property ownership.
Advantages of a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)
About a year ago, we published an article titled “Disadvantages of Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) 1031 Exchange Replacement Properties” and it quickly became one of our most read articles. In fact, it remains our most popular article today. I worry that readers of that article might think “Why would I even keep reading about DSTs?”
Consider DST, Rather Than Real Estate, Gifting or Donations
Maybe you’re ready to do some estate planning and are figuring out what to do with that rental cottage in the Berkshire mountains, or the small office property you own in Texas. You might be thinking of leaving that property to your family or donating it to your alma mater or favorite charity.
Can’t Get Financing? Consider a DST.
Let’s take a hypothetical situation. Let’s say you own a rental house, small apartment building or other investment property, and you’re interested in selling it. Specifically, you’re interested in conducting a 1031 Exchange into another asset. However, after chatting with your financial advisor and/or business manager, and/or accountant, you learn that you might not qualify for financing on a replacement property.
