Why Debt Can Hurt You: DST 1031 Exchange Property Market Insights – Example DST 1031 Case Study
By Chay Lapin, Senior Vice President, Kay Properties & Investments
Recently a client in a 1031 Exchange with $4,000,000 of equity was working with another registered representative and talking to a sponsor directly. In talking with Kay Properties and Investments, they learned that we specialize in DST 1031 Exchanges and that we have access to a variety of DST properties from many DST sponsor companies throughout the industry.
After we hosted the family at our Los Angeles Headquarters and they had a chance to visit with our team, we learned more about their situation.
The building they were selling was debt free. In this scenario, the client could go into DSTs that are debt free with no mortgage. This means that these DST properties could never be foreclosed on by a lender and do not carry the risk of mortgage maturity and refinancing.
