What are My 1031 Exchange Options?

Types of 1031 Exchange Replacement Properties
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)
One of the most popular 1031 Exchange options is aDelaware Statutory Trust(DST), which allows investors to own a “fractional interest” in high-quality institutional real estate that is acquired and managed by large professional real estate firms. DST investments can be combined to create a diversified portfolio of passive property for an accredited investor. Additionally, if desired, DST real estate can allow for an eventual 1031 Exchange into a REIT.
Fee Simple Property
Fee-Simple Property is a broad category that includes all real estate owned outright by an investor. Fee-Simple Property is best suited for investors who value control of their real estate and are not opposed to the effort and time required for active property management. Additionally, Fee-Simple Property includes properties acquired with the intent of performing a 1031 Exchange from a rental property to a primary residence or vacation home.
Net Lease Property
Net Lease Property is a sub-category of Fee-Simple Property and includes all Fee-Simple Property with a long-term structured net lease. Fee-Simple Net Lease Property is for investors who value outright control of their real estate assets but do not want to put forward the effort required for active property management. We work with single net lease, double net lease, and triple net lease properties leased to high-credit tenants to provide stable income potential.
Tenants-in-Common (TIC) Property
Tenants-in-Common Property is another form of fractional ownership that allows investors to own a percentage interest in a large institutional property with added flexibility beyond what is available within DST Property. Generally, we work with TIC properties that have a value-add component and place a greater focus on appreciation versus current cash flow. TIC properties can allow for refinancing following an Exchange and have investment minimums of $1M. We work with single net lease, double net lease, and triple net lease properties leased to high-credit tenants to provide stable income potential.
