The most common reasons that investors select DSTs are:

  • Potentially Greater Cash Flow Than They Are Currently Receiving: Most DSTs have between a 4.00% – 5.50% projected cash flow based on the anticipated rental income less expenses. For example, if you invest $1,000,000 of equity into a DST with a 4.5% projected cash flow, this would provide a projected net annual income of $45,000. This could be a higher net cash flow than you are currently receiving on your rental property. As with all real estate the income cannot be guaranteed because the rental income and expenses can increase or decrease unexpectedly.
  • Ability to Diversify: You can reinvest your relinquished property sale proceeds into multiple investments in different cities, states, and asset classes such as apartments and net lease retail.
  • Non-Recourse Loans: Virtually all the loans within the DSTs that are approved by DAI Securities, LLC are non-recourse which means the investor does not personally guarantee them.
  • Easier Financing: Access to financing for investors needing debt on their replacement property
  • Passive Ownership Structure: Many investors desire to reduce their active property management as they grow older and DSTs offer passive ownership.

We recommend that all clients review each PPM in detail and consult their tax and legal advisors to full understand the benefits and risks of the investment. Corcapa 1031 Advisors is happy to attend a meeting with your tax and legal advisors or have a conference call to answer all questions.
