Join our speakers as they discuss Delaware Statutory Trusts on April 23 at 2 PM ET. Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), are recent additions to the real estate and investment world, which have emerged and are rapidly gaining popularity. They are specifically designed to offer investors an efficient way to utilize the tax benefits of gain deferral under code section 1031. Real estate investment sponsors often use the DST structure as a strategic means to raise capital from investors that need to exchange the sale proceeds of relinquished property. They provide investors with numerous benefits within the sponsor’s broader investment platform. Our speakers will take a deep dive into:
- Eligibility Requirements and Qualifications of DSTs
- 7 Deadly Sins: Restrictions & Mitigations of DSTs
- Utilization of DSTs
