What Happens If You Miss the 1031 Exchange Deadline?
A 1031 exchange is one of the most effective tax deferral strategies available to real estate investors. However, it comes with strict IRS deadlines that leave very little room for error.
I recently completed a DST investment with DST Investment Advisors and was extremely pleased with the outcome. The structure of the investment was both thoughtful and creative, providing a significant tax advantage that exceeded our expectations. I would especially like to recognize Brenna Winters and Paul Hogenson for their outstanding professionalism and support throughout the process. Their expertise, clear communication, and attention to detail made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend this team to anyone considering a DST investment.

A Delaware Statutory Trust is a legally recognized trust that holds title to income-producing real estate. For investors, DSTs offer the opportunity to own fractional interests in institutional-grade properties. They qualify as “like-kind” replacement properties for 1031 exchanges and provide passive ownership without management responsibilities.
When selling investment property, the IRS allows you to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds into “like-kind” replacement property through a 1031 exchange. DSTs qualify as replacement properties, allowing you to defer taxes while transitioning from active to passive ownership. Our advisors help you navigate timing requirements and identify suitable DST investments.

DST investments can provide monthly income potential, professional property management, elimination of landlord duties, access to institutional-quality assets, geographic diversification, and significant tax advantages including depreciation benefits and 1031 exchange eligibility.
Like all investments, DSTs carry risks including illiquidity (typically 5-10 year holding periods), dependence on sponsor/property manager performance, market and economic risks, and potential tax law changes. Our advisors help you understand these risks and determine if DSTs align with your investment objectives.
