Through Direct 1031 Exchange's online investment portal, accredited investors can participate in 506(c) DST offerings sponsored by the firm with no upfront load or commission paid by the investor.

"We are very excited to announce the launch of Direct 1031 Exchange, which puts the power of tax deferral and potential capital appreciation directly at the fingertips of accredited investors," said Matt Bear, founder and chief executive officer of Direct 1031 Exchange. "Our easy-to-use online portal simplifies the Section 1031 exchange process, while simultaneously saving costs typically passed on to the investor."

A Delaware statutory trust is a distinct legal entity created under Delaware law that may be used in a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange. Under IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-86, a beneficial interest in the DST is treated as an undivided fractional interest in the DST's real estate for federal income tax purposes.

"Investors seeking tax deferral, passive ownership of quality real estate, and diversification in a real estate portfolio can potentially benefit from the DST structure," said Bear.

What to consider before investing in a DST. Investors should not invest in DST's if they cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Due to the lack of liquidity in every DST investment, DSTs are long term investments. Investing in a Delaware Statutory Trust - DST property carries all the potential risks and potential benefits associated with real estate investing, with additional DST specific risks. There is no guarantee that DST net income will flow to an investor as originally projected. There is no guarantee that a DST property will appreciate in value, or that it won't go down in value. DST investments are illiquid assets, and there is currently no established secondary market.
