A Delaware Statutory Trust (DSTs) enables passive real estate investing into large-scale multifamily, retail, and commercial properties managed by industry experts. Investors benefit from stable cashflow, diversification, tax deferral through 1031 exchanges, and hands-off ownership in institutional-quality assets.

A 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange combined with a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) offers real estate investors a solution for tax savings and passive income. DSTs allow investors to participate in large-scale commercial properties without the hassles of direct ownership. This strategy is ideal for retirees or those looking to escape the headaches of managing rental properties. By using a 1031 exchange to invest in DSTs, investors can defer capital gains taxes and receive regular, tax-advantaged monthly income. DSTs are offered by established real estate firms and provide access to high-quality properties with professional management. This approach solves tax issues while providing reliable passive income.

President Biden's proposed budget for fiscal year 2025 includes a $500,000 annual cap on capital gains tax deferrals through 1031 exchanges. While this proposal would be devastating to real estate investors and the economy, it is unlikely to become law. The president's budget is primarily a political document, not a practical one, and often includes items that have little chance of success but serve to signal priorities and appease constituencies. Similar proposals have failed in the past, and this one is expected to meet the same fate. Investors should stay informed but avoid making panic-driven decisions.
