What is Delaware
Statutory Trust (DST)?
A Delaware Statutory Trust or DST is a private governing
trust responsible for buying, managing, administering, and selling
income-producing real estate properties. Shares of a Delaware Statutory
Trust or a DST are offered mainly as real estate securities to 1031 Exchange
investors. DST investments are passive real estate investments that allow
investors to acquire fractional ownership in real estate properties without the
burden of managing those properties.
Investors within a DST enjoy their pro-rata share of income,
appreciations, and tax benefits. DST investments offer similar benefits and
risks as any other real estate investment. The structure for a DST investment
was first created in Delaware in 1947. However, a DST doesn't need to be
located within the State of Delaware.
Benefits that
investors receive with DST investment -
·
One of the biggest benefits of investing in DSTs
is the relief from property management. As DST properties often come with
pre-arranged property or asset managers,
DST investors don't need to bear the burden day-to-day management
responsibilities.
·
For investing in DSTs you don't need to be
backed by millions in your bank account. Because of its large structure, a DST
investment may start from as low as $500k.
·
As a DST investor, you can split your proceeds
and invest in different properties or assets. Doing so will diversify your
investment portfolio.
·
When you invest in a DST, you don't need to
wander around for locating properties. The real estate firm or sponsor is
generally responsible for locating properties for investors.
·
1031 investors can use DST investment for
closing their exchange. Since DST investment is considered as a real estate
investment (as you own share in the property and not in the trust), you can
acquire DST shares as your 1031 exchange
replacement property.
Limitations of a DST
investment -
·
DST investors don't have voting rights. Any
decision within a DST is taken by the trustee or sponsor and investors enjoy
passive investment benefits.
·
DST investors don't receive property title. As a
DST consists of many investors, it's impossible to transfer the property title
to one or all investors.
·
DST investors aren't allowed to form
single-member LLC.
