The good news is that you do have options to reduce, defer, and even eliminate capital gains taxes. With a tax-deferred 1031 Exchange, investment real estate owners can sell their existing property and defer paying capital gains tax, as long as they reinvest in replacement property(s) of equal or greater value.
Delaware Statutory Trust 1031 Exchanges provide real estate investment owners with a unique and flexible solution to defer capital gains tax while eliminating active management.

The 1031 Exchange process can be complex and stressful. IRS exchange rules are very rigid, and the 1031 exchange timeline must be strictly followed in order to qualify for tax deferral. Finding, vetting, and acquiring suitable exchange replacement property that best aligns with your financial and lifestyle goals can also be challenging and time-consuming.
Over the last two decades, commercial real estate (CRE) has taken an esteemed seat at the investment table alongside equities, bonds and cash-and it is clear why. CRE may provide greater income and appreciation potential, competitive risk-adjusted returns and significant tax benefits. For the average investor, however, commercial real estate can feel financially out-of-reach and management intensive.

I have been a landlord for over 40 years and am still a landlord. Over the years, some of the properties have been great, and some that have been not so great. I am likely getting to point where I was looking for options that did not involve me wasting a weekend or many nights trying to resolve electrical, plumbing, or other repairs taking me away from what I want to do. Don't get me wrong, Real Estate has been the best investment I have made and I still feel that way. I wanted to look for an avenue to diversify some of my properties that would not involve me receiving phone calls and taking my

Working with Austin and Taylor of RETS has been a total pleasure. Both are easy to connect with, obviously enjoy the work they do and are superb at guiding others (us!) through the DST process successfully. Their focus on building a relationship with their clients, first and foremost, leaves us feeling confident in the decisions we've then made. Their responsiveness to our needs and time they take to answer our questions and educate us has made this process a positive learning experience. We look forward to a continued relationship with RETS!

Austin is GREAT to work with! He is very professional and knowledgeable of the DSTs and 1031 exchange. He and his assistant Taylor always perform their due diligence to do deep research on DSTs to make sure their clients are well informed of the pros and cons. Kim always emailed me to make sure I got the 1st distribution from the DST sponsor after it closed. I have bought 3 DSTs with them, and will continue buying DSTs with them in the future. I would highly recommend them. You won't regret working with them.

I had questions about DSTs and was referred by my 1031 Facilitator to talk with Austin. Austin graciously answered all of my questions and walked me through the financial details specific to my situation and helped me understand if a DST made sense given my priorities. I concluded a DST wasn't right for me and so I did not move forward in using RETS. However, if you're exploring whether a DST makes sense for you I highly recommend speaking with Austin.

I was referred to Real Estate Transition Solutions by a good friend. Because of my Banking industry background, It didn't take me very long to become comfortable with who I was dealing with, and impressed with the quality of investments they offered. The investments have been well vetted; well managed. Austin has a thorough knowledge of the investments he offers. Everything made good sense and provided me with comfort level I needed to move ahead to consummate the transaction.
