Protecting your 1031 exchange from failing with the use of the Deferred Sales Trust™ as a default is a wise decision for any exchanger and their QI. By using the 1031 and the selected default method of the Deferred Sales Trust™ as a combination is a tax compliant strategy that allows the 1031 exchanger to defer their capital gains tax in the event that their 1031 fails. This can be accomplished through the use of the Deferred Sales Trust™ and in conjunction with a 1031 exchange.

Why is it so important to use the DST when considering the 1031?

With a typical 1031 exchange, if the exchanger fails to successfully complete the exchange, then the exchanger must pay all their capital gains taxes in that tax year. Capital gains taxes can be 15% to 35% for both federal and state, depending upon the state.

The reasons for a 1031 failure may be due to:

  • Not finding your replacement property
  • Not closing on the replacement property with the 180 day window
  • Debt replacement is hard to find
  • Financing the new property does not work out
  • The seller decides to change the terms of the deal
  • The property does not check out to be a good 1031 purchase
  • And so many other reasons...

The DST is a tax compliant strategy that allows the 1031 exchanger to defer capital gains in the event that their 1031 fails. This is accomplished through the Deferred Sales Trust™ in conjunction with a 1031 exchange.

Is there another way to deal with the capital gains tax deficits that so many investors experience when they sell their real estate assets? The answer may lie in the Deferred Sales Trust™.
