Frequently Asked Questions
A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferred real estate strategy that allows investors to sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into another qualifying property without immediately paying capital gains taxes, as long as specific IRS rules are followed.
To complete a 1031 exchange, the investor must identify replacement property within 45 days, complete the purchase within 180 days, and use a Qualified Intermediary (QI) to hold the proceeds. Many investors use Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) as replacement properties to achieve passive ownership while remaining compliant
A 1033 exchange is a tax-deferral strategy that applies when real property is involuntarily converted due to events such as condemnation, eminent domain, casualty, or destruction. Unlike a 1031 exchange, which involves the voluntary sale of investment or business real estate, a 1033 exchange allows taxpayers to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting insurance proceeds or condemnation awards into qualifying replacement property within IRS-defined timelines.
While 1031 exchanges are the most common and widely used form of real-estate tax deferral, 1033 exchanges are more situational and event-driven. i1031u.com focuses primarily on 1031 exchanges, but we help investors understand whether alternative tax-deferral strategies—such as 1033 exchanges—may apply in unique circumstances and coordinate with qualified tax and legal professionals when appropriate. Additional educational information about 1033 exchanges and involuntary property conversions is available here.
A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal ownership structure that allows multiple investors to hold fractional interests in institutional-quality real estate. DST interests are commonly used as replacement property in 1031 exchanges and are structured to comply with IRS guidelines.
DST interests can qualify as replacement property for a 1031 exchange, allowing investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling investment real estate. Investors acquire beneficial interests in the trust rather than managing property directly, while still meeting exchange requirements.
DST offerings are generally available to accredited investors who meet specific financial and suitability requirements. Eligibility and availability vary by offering and are subject to regulatory and sponsor criteria.
DSTs may hold a range of institutional-scale real estate assets, including multifamily communities, industrial properties, self-storage, medical office buildings, and infrastructure or development-related assets. Each offering has its own investment strategy, risk profile, and timeline.
DST investments involve risks, including illiquidity, market risk, sponsor risk, financing risk, and the potential loss of principal. Investors should carefully review offering materials and consult with their legal, tax, and financial advisors before investing.
DSTs are generally designed as long-term investments and are not liquid. Hold periods vary by offering and may range from several years depending on the asset strategy and market conditions.
