Benefits of Using a DST for a 1031 Exchange:
- Passive investment: DSTs offer professional management of the underlying real estate, freeing you from tenant issues and maintenance burdens.
- Diversification: Invest in a diversified portfolio of commercial properties across asset-classes and geographies.
- Lower investment minimums: Contrary to Tenants in Common (TICs), DSTs allow participation in high-value properties with a smaller investment compared to buying a whole property directly.
- Ability to create a passive, monthly income stream
- Investors can quickly close in as few as 1-3 days
- Access to Institutional-Grade Properties: DSTs often invest in well-located and well-managed commercial properties that might be out of reach for individual investors. This provides the opportunity to create a portfolio consisting of potentially higher quality assets and potentially stronger returns.
Remember: This is a simplified explanation. Involving a CPA specializing in 1031 exchanges is crucial to ensure you comply with IRS regulations and make informed investment decisions.

To execute a 1031 exchange, using a Qualified Intermediary (QI) is mandatory. If you’re like most, your exchange likely represents a significant portion of your net worth and you don’t ever want to doubt that the QI is putting their needs ahead of yours. For this reason, Main Street Alternatives recommends that you consider using a QI who has met the highest ethical standards by the Federation of Exchange Accomodators.
