What Is a Delaware Statutory Trust?
A plain-English explanation of the legal structure behind every DST offering, and why the IRS allows it as a replacement property for your 1031 exchange.
The Structure in One Paragraph.
A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal entity formed under Delaware law that holds title to investment real estate. Multiple accredited investors hold fractional beneficial interests in the trust, each representing a share of the property's monthly income and eventual sale proceeds.
The sponsor (Medalist) acquires the property, forms the trust, and handles all ongoing management. Investors are completely passive: no voting, no operational decisions, no landlord responsibilities.
Four Steps. Predictable Mechanics.
-
1
Sponsor Acquires Property
Medalist sources, underwrites, and acquires a single-tenant net lease property that meets our criteria.
-
2
DST Holds Title
The property is held in a Delaware Statutory Trust. Tenant pays rent to the trust under the lease agreement.
-
3
Investors Buy Beneficial Interests
Accredited investors subscribe to the offering, typically using 1031 exchange proceeds. Each subscription represents fractional ownership.
-
4
Distributions and Disposition
Investors receive monthly distributions from net rental income. At disposition, sale proceeds are distributed to beneficial owners.
Two Hard Deadlines. One Plan.
The IRS gives you exactly 45 days to identify replacement property and 180 days to complete the exchange. There are no extensions. The DST structure is built for this clock.
Close the Sale.
The day you close on the sale of your relinquished property starts the 1031 clock. A Qualified Intermediary must hold the proceeds.
- Engage a QI before closing
- Proceeds wire directly to QI
- You never touch the funds
Identify Replacement Property.
You have 45 calendar days to identify replacement property in writing. Most investors identify a DST during this window because the property is already underwritten.
- Identification must be in writing
- Three-property rule applies
- DSTs accelerate the diligence cycle
Complete the Exchange.
You have 180 days total (or your tax filing deadline, whichever is earlier) to close on the replacement property. DSTs typically close in 3 to 5 business days.
- QI transfers funds to DST
- You become a beneficial owner
- Distributions begin the next month
Pre-identified property. Fast closing. No surprises.
Medalist DSTs ship with a complete due diligence package (FactRight report, PPM, lease abstract, appraisal) ready before you identify. Closing takes 3 to 5 business days because the property is already owned. No financing contingency. No identification anxiety on Day 44.
Four Reasons This Structure Was Built for Your Situation.
If you're stepping out of active real estate, holding a sale, and planning the next chapter, the DST structure was designed for exactly this transition.
Full Tax Deferral Through 1031.
Defer all federal capital gains taxes by exchanging into a DST through a properly structured 1031. The tax bill moves with the asset, not your retirement. Combined with the step-up at death, gains can be eliminated for the next generation.
Predictable Passive Income.
Distributions delivered via direct ACH deposit to the bank account of your choice. No collecting rent, no chasing tenants, no surprise repairs eating into your income. Just monthly cash flow from institutional real estate.
The Sponsor Handles Everything.
Property management, tenant relations, capital decisions, lease negotiations, and all operational responsibilities sit with Medalist. You hold beneficial interest. You receive distributions. You read the quarterly report. That's the entire investor workflow.
Estate Planning Built In.
Beneficial interests transfer to heirs with a stepped-up basis at death. Decades of deferred capital gains can be eliminated for the next generation. The DST structure was designed to integrate cleanly with multi-generational wealth transfer planning.
Two more benefits worth knowing. DSTs provide access to single-tenant institutional real estate typically out of reach for individual investors. And smaller minimums let you spread exchange proceeds across multiple DSTs, property types, and markets, turning one sale into a diversified portfolio.
