Does a Delaware Statutory Trust Require an Owner Trustee?
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are passive investment vehicles that provide investors with fractional ownership of commercial real estate.

DSTs are increasingly popular as investment options for accredited investors. Some of the attractions of the model include:
What Is A Master Lease In A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?
A master lease in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a lease agreement between the DST and a master tenant. The master tenant is responsible for managing and operating the property, and the master tenant also sublets the property to individual tenants. This arrangement allows the Delaware Statutory Trust to avoid the hassles of having to directly manage properties held under trust.
Does a Delaware Statutory Trust Require Accredited Investor Status?
DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) investments raised a record $9.2 billion in 2022, but 2023 has seen a decline in the volume of DST offerings due at least in part to rising interest rates. Nonetheless, these investments offer some advantages worth considering. One aspect of DST investing that has enhanced its popularity is the ability of investors to use a DST investment as part of a 1031 exchange, which allows the taxpayer to defer capital gains taxes due on the sale of investment property.
What is the Master Tenant of a Delaware Statutory Trust?
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are investment vehicles that are formed under the unique statutory laws in Delaware and allow multiple participants to own fractional shares of one or more properties. The participants (known as trust beneficiaries) each have a proportional right to the income and appreciation from the property held in the trust. This passive income is a significant attraction for many investors, as is the ability to enter and exit a DST investment using a 1031 exchange.
How to Report Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) Income
A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) allows investors to put their money into a trust, which is then pooled with other investor funds. The trust then uses that money to invest in real estate. The trust’s real estate can generate income for the investors, also known as beneficiaries. That income must be reported to the IRS when tax time rolls around.
Can You Sell Shares of a Delaware Statutory Trust?
Selling a fractional interest in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) begins by reaching out to the advisor who assisted with the original DST paperwork. The advisor plays a key role in coordinating the Delaware Statutory Trust liquidity process, collaborating with the DST 1031 Sponsor to locate a suitable buyer for your share. This organized approach ensures that all legal and financial considerations are addressed, creating a smooth transition that aligns with both the seller's needs and regulatory requirements. It's essential to follow this process for a successful sale and to ensure that all parties are in compliance with the laws governing DSTs.
What is Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) Leverage?
1031 exchanges can be extremely useful tools for investors to use in maximizing their opportunity to reinvest the proceeds of a property sale. 1031 exchange rules require that the replacement property be of an equal to or greater value than the relinquished asset, and the debt levels must also match. It is in regard to the debt levels that the reference to leverage appears. DST leverage refers to a Delaware Statutory Trust keeping a mortgage on the property, assigning investors a share of the debt. It often appeals to exchangers seeking debt replacement for fully tax-deferred exchanges, as it matches their financial requirements.
How Delaware Statutory Trust Ownership Structures Work
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are real estate investment vehicles that allow multiple investors to own a fractional interest in a single property. DSTs are established by a Sponsor, who identifies and acquires all properties held under trust. Investors then purchase fractional shares in the DST, which gives them a right to a portion of the property's income and appreciation according to the pro rata share of their investment.
