Passive replacement property, carefully reviewed
Move from a list of DSTs to a defensible replacement decision.

Due Diligence
DST Exchange Guide
DST interests may provide fractional access to professionally managed, institutional-quality properties without tenants, toilets, trash, or daily operating decisions. Some current offerings may begin near $100,000, but minimums, availability, projected income, fees, leverage, liquidity limits, risks, investor eligibility, and suitability all require offering-level review.
A DST should solve a real replacement-property problem, not merely fill a deadline. Start with the sale proceeds, debt target, desired income, diversification goals, and the amount of landlord responsibility the owner wants after closing; then compare available Delaware statutory trust interests against that brief.
