Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)

[InsertCleverHandle]

We are selling an out of state rental property that has a good amount of appreciation. Managing the property manager has become an annoyance. We are considering a DST or just paying the capital gains now. I'd prefer delaying the gains to a future date when we have less income. But, the fees and future appreciation of DSTs seem opaque, and you have no/minimal control of when they sell other than their published horizon. We do not "need" the cash now. Anyone have experience with specific DST providers or thoughts?

I am in the similar situation. DST's seem like the perfect reinvestment for 1031 exchanges.......almost too perfect!

I would rather pay the taxes and move the funds into VTI or VOO. Do let us know what you decide. Best Wishes!!
