A Delaware Statutory Trust (“DST”) is a securitized real estate product.  The DST entity structure allows the smaller investor to own a fractional interest in large, institutional quality and professionally managed commercial property or properties along with other investors, not as limited partners, but as individual owners within a Trust. Each owner receives a percentage of their share of the cash flow income, tax benefits (deferral when entering on a 1031 and depreciation if there’s leverage on the investment), and potential asset appreciation.
