What is the 721 UPREIT Exchange Exit Strategy?

One of the most important questions Delaware Statutory Trust real estate investors need to ask themselves is, "What is my long-term, exit strategy?" Most Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investments are typically held for approximately 5- 10 years (although it could be shorter or longer). After that, the DST investment will typically go "Full-Cycle", a term used to describe a DST property that is purchased on behalf of investors and then after a period of time is sold on behalf of investors. Once your DST investment goes full-cycle, investors need to evaluate what their next investment move should be. For example an investor could simply cash out and pay the capital gains and other taxes, enter another 1031 Exchange process, or complete a 721 Exchange UPREIT.
