A 1031 Exchange Alternative
If you or your client is looking (and perhaps struggling) to find 1031 exchange replacement property that is appropriately priced in today’s market. I wanted to present you with another option: the Deferred Sales Trust, (DST).
The DST is a tax code compliant method to defer capital gains tax on the sale of highly appreciated residential, investment or commercial real estate or the sale of a business.without having to buy replacement real estate.
What’s also interesting is that if you’re a broker or have an advisory relationship with your client and your resident state allows, you earn reoccurring solicitor fees from the investment of the DST assets. This fee is paid each year that the assets are managed within the DST by the selected investment adviser.

very interesting. I have had a couple of clients that missed their deadlines because they where not able to secure financing on the purchase side and therefore got hit with the capital gains tax. I’d would like to learn more.
