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.

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.
