What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?

A DST is an entity that is used to hold title to investment real estate. A properly structured DST that owns a property will qualify as like-kind property for a 1031 exchange, according to the IRS revenue ruling 2004-86. DSTs are often considered a structure of choice for those looking to diversify their investments and enjoy the benefits of fractional ownership opportunities.

Eliminate Boot
