What is a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust)?

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) allows landowners to sell property and use a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest in a fractional portion of large, professionally managed institutional real estate—such as multifamily, self-storage, student housing, or senior living facilities.

This IRS-approved strategy, supported by Revenue Ruling 2004-86, allows investors to take advantage of the following:

Tax deferral on capital gains
Potential monthly income
Tax savings through depreciation
No property management responsibilities
Diversification of assets
Simplified estate planning

Don’t Let the IRS Harvest Your Legacy

At Iron Ridge Advisors, we help farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners like you reduce taxes and protect what you’ve built. When selling highly appreciated land, there may be significant tax considerations—such as capital gains, depreciation recapture, and potential estate tax exposure. That’s why we coordinate closely with a team of experienced, licensed professionals—including CPAs, attorneys, and 1031 exchange specialists, who have worked with landowners for decades. While we do not provide tax or legal advice ourselves, we guide the strategy and coordinate the right team to help you:

Defer capital gains with Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)
Offset depreciation recapture using Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRUTs)
Protect your legacy with smart estate planning professionals

Honor the Land. Protect the Future.

You didn’t just build a business, you built a way of life. At Iron Ridge Advisors, we help landowners navigate legacy transition. That means working closely with licensed estate planners and tax professionals to structure a plan that preserves your values, minimizes taxes, and ensures the next generation is set up for success. Whether it’s passing down the land, selling and reinvesting, or creating income for retirement, we help you honor what you’ve built and protect the people you built it for.

We do this from a place of true independence. As fiduciaries and business owners, we’re free from corporate quotas, product pushes, and shareholder pressure. That independence allows us to focus on one thing: what’s best for you and your family. We choose our partners, control our priorities, and hold ourselves accountable, so the advice you receive is always clear, transparent, and aligned with your goals.
