V. DSTs with 721-UPREIT opportunities
RVPII Consulting can also assist clients in exploring DSTs with 721-UPREIT opportunities as part of our 1031 exchange solutions strategy. These DSTs offer the potential for properties to be purchased by a larger REIT managed and operated by the DST sponsor, providing the opportunity for tax deferral throughout the entire process.
Additionally, some sponsors may offer custom non-recourse debt options. While the minimum investment for these DSTs is typically higher, ranging from $250,000 to $500,000, they offer the potential for monthly or quarterly income and diversification across a larger pool of properties in different sectors and locations throughout the United States.
With a typical process taking 2-3 years, once the DST goes into the UPREIT structure, clients have the potential for liquidity after about a year. These DSTs can be a great option for legacy planning or breaking up tax liabilities without the need to conduct a 1031 exchange.
