Tax-Advantaged
1031 Exchanges & DSTs

Transform Your Portfolio from Active Management to Strategic Wealth Building

1031 EXCHANGE

Defer Your Capital Gains With
a 1031 Exchange

Real estate investors looking to sell appreciated property can use a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind replacement property. This tax-advantaged strategy allows investors to preserve capital and keep it working toward their next real estate investment, rather than losing a portion to taxes.

Defer Your Taxes

Reinvest the proceeds from the sale of your property into a new one and defer capital gains taxes on the transaction.

Exchange for Like-Kind Assets

Properties must be "like kind." For example, you can sell a multifamily property and invest in an office property, or vice versa.

Preserve and Grow Your Wealth

Target income and offset capital gains, which may help preserve and grow your wealth over time.

1031 Exchange: Maximizing Your Investment

A full walkthrough of how a 1031 exchange works. The tax-deferral mechanics, the deadlines and rules that most often trip investors up, and how a DST can complete an exchange for investors who'd rather not manage a replacement property directly.

DELAWARE STATUTORY TRUST (DST)

An Alternative Structure That Still
Defers Your Gains

Real estate investors looking to defer capital gains taxes have an alternative option through a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST). While traditional 1031 exchanges are common, a DST allows investors to defer gains while bypassing property management responsibilities. As a passive investment managed by professional real estate firms, a DST can help limit personal liability for property-level debt through non-recourse financing. With growing interest in DST investments, this structure appeals to those seeking diversified and hands-off real estate options.

Hands-Off Property Management

Ideal for investors ready to reduce management burdens.

Includes multifamily, office, retail, and industrial properties.
