Did you know that you can do a 1031 exchange into a DST investment? DST stands for Delaware Statutory Trust. DSTs are real estate syndications put together to purchase all types of large commercial real estate properties including: apartment complexes, warehouses, retail with grocery store anchors, etc. These investments usually pay you quarterly, with projected percentage rates varying, depending on the investment type. They also offer you the opportunity to continue to 1031 your investment upon disposition of the DST into another DST.

You can also do a 721 exchange, formally referred to as a 721 Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment (UPREIT), and similar to a 1031 exchange in that a real estate investor can sell a property used for business or investment use and defer taxes on the sale if they reinvest the funds by following specific criteria. In a 721 exchange, the investor either (1) transfers ownership of the relinquished property to the REIT and receives an equivalent value in the form of operating partnership units or (2) sells to a third party of choice using a 1031 exchange, and invests the funds into a DST, often made available by the REIT. When sufficient time passes, usually two years, the DST interest can be traded for Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) shares.
