How One Landlord Uses the Delaware Statutory Trust for 1031 Exchanges

In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) as a 1031 exchange option for landlords looking to defer capital gains without the hassle of direct property management. They break down how a DST works, using the example of a landlord who swapped a triplex in Austin for fractional ownership of a multi-state portfolio of net-leased properties. They discuss the trade-offs: passive income versus loss of control, liquidity risks, and the role of the sponsor. Specific numbers include a 4.7 percent cash-on-cash return and a 30 percent loan-to-value ratio. The hosts also touch on who DSTs are best suited for—typically those with $500,000 or more in equity to defer. If you're a landlord sitting on big gains and tired of managing tenants, this episode offers a concrete alternative to the traditional like-kind exchange. #DelawareStatutoryTrust #1031Exchange #PassiveIncome #RealEstateInvesting #CapitalGainsDeferral #LandlordStrategy #NetLease #FractionalOwnership #TaxStrategy #InvestmentProperty #CashFlow #WealthBuilding #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #RealEstate #DST #LikeKindExchange Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
