Sell the ranch. Keep the wealth.
A 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust defers the 30 to 40% capital gains hit on a land sale. We're independent. We're rural. We work for landowner families.
The Math Most Landowners Don't See
On a $3M land sale, the IRS can take $1.2M.
Most landowners think capital gains is 15%. The reality stacks four taxes on top of each other:
Federal capital gains, a top rate of 20% on larger gains. Net Investment Income Tax, additional 3.8% surtax. State capital gains, 0% in Texas, Wyoming, Florida, Tennessee, and Nevada; up to 13.3% in California. Depreciation recapture, up to 25% federal on building and improvement depreciation, with equipment depreciation recaptured at ordinary income rates.
Combined? 25 to 40% of your gain can go to the IRS depending on your state.
A 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust defers all of it. Held until death, the deferred tax can be eliminated entirely through your heirs' stepped-up basis.
How It Works
Three steps. Sixty days, give or take.
01
Sell the land.
A Qualified Intermediary holds the proceeds so you don't take constructive receipt. The 45-day clock starts.
02
Identify the DST.
We match your sale amount to a vetted DST allocation, multifamily, industrial, self-storage, student housing, or net-lease real estate that's already structured.
03
Close. Collect.
Closing typically takes a few business days. You collect potential monthly distributions. Tax deferred.
