FAQs about DST Placement Paths

What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal structure that allows Albuquerque, NM investors to own fractional interests in large commercial properties. Multiple investors pool funds to acquire properties, and a sponsor manages the properties. DST interests qualify as like-kind replacement property for 1031 exchanges. We help Albuquerque, NM investors understand DST structures and evaluate whether DSTs fit their exchange goals.

What identification rules apply to DST placements?

DST placements for Albuquerque, NM investors must comply with standard identification rules—you must identify specific DST interests within 45 days and acquire them within 180 days. DST interests are identified by the specific DST offering and your intended investment amount. We help Albuquerque, NM investors properly identify DST interests and ensure compliance with identification requirements.

What happens if I receive boot in a DST placement?

If Albuquerque, NM investors receive boot (cash or non-like-kind property) in a DST placement, that boot amount is taxable. Boot can occur if the DST investment amount is less than the relinquished property value, if there are minimum investment requirements causing partial investment, or from other exchange structure issues. We help Albuquerque, NM investors structure DST placements to minimize boot and coordinate with tax advisors.

Can I invest in multiple DSTs in one exchange?

Yes, Albuquerque, NM investors can invest in multiple DSTs in one exchange, as long as the DST interests are properly identified within 45 days and acquired within 180 days. Multiple DST investments can provide diversification. We help Albuquerque, NM investors identify multiple DST options and coordinate acquisitions to meet exchange deadlines.

What are the minimum investment requirements for DSTs?

DST minimum investments vary by sponsor and offering, typically ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 or more for Albuquerque, NM investors. These minimums can affect how exchange proceeds are allocated and whether boot occurs. We help Albuquerque, NM investors understand minimum requirements and structure DST placements to maximize exchange proceeds utilization.

How do DSTs differ from direct property ownership?

DSTs provide passive ownership for Albuquerque, NM investors—the sponsor handles all management, while direct property ownership requires active management. DSTs offer diversification across multiple properties but limit investor control. We help Albuquerque, NM investors understand these differences and determine whether DSTs or direct ownership better fit their investment goals and exchange strategy.
