While many Exchangers are content to use their local real estate professional to find a property in their own area, others desire a more diversified selection of property types and geographic locations. Some also desire to transition from an active ownership and management role into a more passive one. If that is the case, Breakwater Capital can help you build a diversified portfolio of several different types of like-kind investment properties (multi-family, healthcare, retail, industrial, etc.).

One of the greatest benefits of selecting a Delaware Statutory Trust as a 1031 Replacement Property is being able to select the exact undivided interest which meets the financial requirements of your exchange. You determine how much you want to invest as well as how much debt you want the DST sponsor to assign to you. Obviously this means that you will be owning the property with other similarly situated investors and you will be receiving your portion of any property rents every month as well as the tax benefits.

When you invest l031 money into a DST, you take on partial ownership of the equity and debt. These sample clients’ investments provide tangible examples of what your DST could potentially look like.

The DST is the single owner and agile decision maker on behalf of investors.
DSTs allow investors to acquire partial ownership in properties that otherwise would be out-of-reach.
Loans are nonrecourse to the investor. The DST is the sole borrower.
Investors can divide their investment among multiple DSTs, which may provide for a more diversified real estate portfolio across geography and property types.
The DST structure allows the investor to continue to exchange real properties over and over again until th investor’s death.
Can close in as little as 3-5 business days with no interaction with a bank and possibly continue your cash flow uninterrupted as soon as the following month.
As long as there is available equity, exchangers can make reservations in a given DST until their sale closes. Should they change their mind or if their sale doesn’t close, the investor is not obligated to the sponsor, nor will they be charged any penalties.
Not for those seeking outsized returns in a short amount of time or are pursuing aggressive growth strategies (developing or deep value adds).
Not for investors who need 100% control.
Interests of a DST should be considered illiquid just like any other real estate, especially if you invest via a 1031 exchange.
DSTs were created specifically for those seeking to perform a 1031 exchange, but also in mind for investors preferring to place their funds into an asset with the potential for stable, income producing properties.
These investments were designed for the tax sensitive investor seeking income, capital preservation and a more conservative approach (with appreciation secondary).
Most DSTs employ an LTV between 0% to 60%
The property must meet certain occupancy thresholds before it comes out to investors.
Sponsors cannot employ high-speculation tactics like ground-up developments or deep value-adds
Attempting to reduce risk in real estate real estate investments is possible by practicing diversification. Instead of investing in a single property with concentration risk, prudence dictates investing in a number of properties with different investment and risk parameters.
By investing in different asset classes, different locations and properties leased by different tenants, you may be able to mitigate certain risks associated with investing in a concentrated investment. By diversifying your holding periods, all of your investments will not mature and have to be sold at the same time. If you invest in Delaware Statutory Trusts, it also is practical to diversify by sponsorship so that your assets are not all managed by the same real estate firm.
With baby boomers aging Senior Housing could potentially be a smart and lucrative investment. 2 million Americans will live in senior care communities by 2030, doubling from 2016, ensuring a steady source of revenue. (Source: CNBC “Aging Baby Boomers Raise The Risk of a Long Term Care Crisis in the U.S.”)
Industrial real estate tends to provide more passive income than residential real estate. The average rental yield for industrial property in the US is significantly higher than the average for residential and office properties.

One of the single greatest advantages of utilizing DSTs in a 1031 exchange is the power to diversify your investment. In the example below, we took an investor exchanging their single-family rental into multiple DSTs. They are still taQking on similar real estate risk, but are now more diversified in several aspects: Number of properties & tenants, multiple geographic locations and a balanced mix of asset classes and strategies.
The DST sponsor leverages their strong lender relationships to attempt to obtain financing terms investors would most likely not be able to obtain on their own.
The DST Assigns The Benefits Of The Debt But Retains The Obligations. The Debt Is Non–Recourse To The Investor. The Investor Does Not Need To Qualify For The Debt Personally.
Investors fulfill their debt requirements without the headache associated with qualifying for and being liable for the debt obligations.
The IRS allows individuals to bypass the capital gains tax on the sale of real estate if they invest the proceeds into a “like kind” investment, effectively creating a exit strategy for assets that are highly appreciated. However, actually pulling this off is no easy feat and requires a considerable amount of timing and knowledge. Affluent families have been using this tactic for decades as a means to avoid capital gains and minimize the tax impact of their real estate holdings to their heirs. Like our hypothetical outcome as expressed below, we can show you how to take advantage of this rule, and provide turnkey 1031 exchange solutions that take away the complexity typically associated with this type of transaction.
John & Cindy, a married couple in their 60’s, owned several rental properties in Southern California that had done quite well. Even though they were making a good income, one property in particular was aging and needed some work in order to attract the quality tenant that John & Cindy were accustomed to. Now a decision had to be made; either spend a considerable amount to make the improvements, or sell the property and pay massive capital gains taxes. John was aware of the concept of a 1031 exchange, but the complexities and timing issues were preventing him from taking full advantage of it.
By utilizing a 1031 exchange we were able to reinvest the proceeds from the sale of their property into three different DSTs. Each of these properties were institutional quality assets utilizing different strategies located in multiple states. Furthermore, their was no 1031 exchange risk or an interruption in rental income for John & Cindy.
John & Cindy were very satisfied with the fact that they were now much more diversified investors and not having to rely on just a handful on tenants. In addition, their after-tax net income from the property increased from approximately $45,000 annually to over $60,000 annually. John & Cindy also loved that they no longer had to manage the day to day issues that came with the property and had more time to enjoy their retirement together.

Investing in opportunity zones is speculative. Opportunity zones are newly formed entities with no operating history. There is no assurance of investment return, property appreciation, or profits. The ability to resell the fund’s underlying investment properties or businesses is not guaranteed. Investing in opportunity zone funds may involve a higher level of risk than investing in other established real estate offerings. Long-term investment. Opportunity zone funds have illiquid underlying investments that may not be easy to sell and the return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment will generally occur only upon the partial or complete disposition or refinancing of such investments. Limited secondary market for redemption. Although secondary markets may provide a liquidity option in limited circumstances, the amount you will receive typically is discounted to current valuations. Difficult valuation assessment. The portfolio holdings in opportunity zone funds may be difficult to value because financial markets or exchanges do not usually quote or trade the holdings. As such, market prices for most of a fund’s holdings will not be readily available. Capital call default consequences. Meeting capital calls to provide managers with the pledged capital is a contractual obligation of each investor. Failure to meet this requirement in a timely manner could elicit significant adverse consequences, including, without limitation, the forfeiture of your interest in the fund. Leverage. Opportunity zone funds may use leverage in connection with certain investments or participate in investments with highly leveraged capital structures. Leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and may increase the exposure of such investments to factors such as rising interest rates, downturns in the economy or deterioration in the condition of the assets underlying such investments. Unregistered investment. As with other unregistered investments, the regulatory protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not available with unregistered securities. Regulation. It is possible, due to tax, regulatory, or investment decisions, that a fund, or its investors, are unable realize any tax benefits. You should evaluate the merits of the underlying investment and not solely invest in an opportunity zone fund for any potential tax advantage.
