What is a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 exchange enables you to sell a business or investment property (or portfolio), and purchase another one with the proceeds, in a timely manner in order to defer federal and state taxes on capital gains. Instead of hands-on management, the Direct 1031 exchange replacement properties are professionally managed by investment sponsors.
Direct 1031 Exchange structures its 1031 exchange investment offerings as a Delaware statutory trust, a distinct legal entity created under Delaware law and 1031 Exchange Rules. In accordance with the IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-86, a beneficial interest in the DST is treated as an undivided fractional interest in the DST’s real estate for federal income tax purposes.

What to consider before investing in a DST
Investors should not invest in DST’s if they cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Due to the lack of liquidity in every DST investment, DSTs are long term investments. Investing in a Delaware Statutory Trust - DST property carries all the potential risks and potential benefits associated with real estate investing including loss of capital, with additional DST specific risks. There is no guarantee that DST net income will flow to an investor as originally projected. There is no guarantee that a DST property will appreciate in value, or that it won’t go down in value. DST investments are illiquid assets, and there is currently no established secondary market.
The trustee is limited to making capital expenditures with respect to the property to those for a) normal repair and maintenance, b) minor non-structural capital improvements and c) those required by law. Securities offered through North Capital Private Securities, Member FINRA/SIPC.
