Debt Free Delaware Statutory Trust

Using Debt Free Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) Portfolios 

When it comes to long term real estate investors, most clients are selling debt free properties. Investment properties that have been held long term, typically have a low cost basis and large capital gains. Real estate investors do not want to pay the capital gains tax, and look at alternative investments in a 1031 exchange.  A Delaware Statutory Trust can be a great investment product to defer the capital gains tax, provide passive monthly income, and potential appreciation when the DST property is sold.  Some real estate investors prefer to do a 1031 exchange into a Debt Free Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) in order to continue replacing debt free properties.  With the rise of interest rates, we are seeing more and more Debt Free Delaware Statutory Trust portfolios by DST sponsors. Delaware Statutory Trust sponsors are using their free cash flow to acquire large $200m-$300m investment properties with all cash and securitizing them into a DST. This is allowing more real estate investors the opportunity to do a a 1031 exchange into a Debt Free Delaware Statutory Trust property. We work with many Delaware Statutory Trust companies that are coming out with more Debt Free Delaware Statutory Trust portfolios. When interest rates were low, we saw a large influx of leveraged DST portfolios. The shift in rising interest rates is giving debt free real estate investors the opportunity to invest into Debt Free Delaware Statutory Trust portfolios.
