turnkey deals and that have a lot of moving parts. In addition, very few brokers can find appropriate property options for their investors that fit for a client with very specific requirements for debt replacement parameters.
ENTER THE DELAWARE STATUTORY TRUST SPECIALIST
This is where a Delaware Statutory Trust specialty firm can be of real value to a real estate broker who is representing a multifamily investor who just sold a property. One of the potential advantages of a DST is that it provides beneficial interest in a property that has non-recourse debt that is already “pre- packaged” for a 1031 exchange. Effectively, what that means is that it is relatively simple for the real estate investor to make the 1031 exchange math work – almost down to the penny. Investors also have greater flexibility in putting their investment dollars into multiple DSTs in a variety of real estate combinations and still achieve their desired equity and debt targets.
A hypothetical investor named “Alison T.” needs to replace $200,000 in equity and $100,000 in debt. Now she could put $100,000 into one DST with no debt (an all-cash debt free DST) and the remaining $100,000 into a DST that has a loan on the property at 50% Offering Loan to Value (LTV). Another option would be to put $50,000 into a DST with no debt and $75,000 each into two additional DSTs that both have 40% LTV.
In comparison, an investor conducting an exchange with a single property, such as a rental home, would have to find a property they want to buy at the desired $300,000 price. They would then have
Option One
Invest $100,000 into one all cash DST
to bring their own money to the table for an all- cash purchase or secure a $100,000 mortgage. Effectively, investors are working in a much narrower box with fewer alternatives – all while the clock is winding down on the 180-day timeframe allowed to complete an exchange. Including a DST 1031 property option creates a reliable backup plan for investors like Alison T. in case her original property exchange falls through. That’s why DST specialists are a great resource for real estate brokers because they can help ensure the client has a reliable backup plan ready to go.
Smart brokers who represent investment property owners should always have a relationship with a DST 1031 specialist advisory firm like Kay Properties and Investments. They can present the DST 1031 strategy to their clients as an added benefit that they bring to the table, while also providing an expert resource for creating a back-up 1031 identification tool and creating a safe tactic to avoid a mortgage “boot”. (*Every investor’s tax situation is different, and this article is not tax or legal advice. Investors should inquire with their Certified Public Accountant to verify their 1031 requirements.)
“When brokers are getting close to listing a property, it is important that they contact Kay Properties in an ample amount of time before their client’s deadline. This will give them enough time to understand the risk and business plan of each offering. We are always available for conference calls and or in-person meetings with your clients,” said Dwight Kay, founder and CEO of Kay Properties & Investments.
