1031 Exchange vs 1031 DST Exchange
1031 Exchange — Direct Ownership
For investors who want to stay hands-on.
- You purchase and own an entire replacement property.
- You make all decisions leasing, maintenance, operations, and improvements.
- You must qualify for and secure your own financing.
- Typically requires larger capital to acquire a full asset.
- Harder to diversify since funds usually go into one property.
- Best for investors who want full control and don’t mind active management.
1031 DST Exchange — Fractional, Passive Ownership
For investors who want real estate income without the workload.
- You invest in a fractional interest of a large, professionally managed property.
- 100% passive — the DST sponsor handles all operations, leasing, repairs, and asset management.
- No personal loan qualification — financing is already arranged at the trust level.
- Lower entry minimums allow broader diversification across multiple assets.
- Helps meet 45/180-day deadlines more easily due to ready-to-close structure.
- Ideal for investors seeking hands-off income, retirement-friendly options, or simplified exchanges.

What is a 1031 Exchange — Quick Overview
A 1031 Exchange is a powerful tax-deferral strategy that allows real estate investors to sell an investment or business-use property and reinvest the proceeds into another like-kind property without paying capital gains tax at the time of sale. By deferring taxes, investors can keep more equity working for them, helping build wealth more efficiently.
Under Section 1031 of the IRS tax code, to qualify for the deferral:
- The property sold and the property acquired must both be held for business or investment purposes
- A qualified intermediary must hold the sale proceeds during the exchange process
- The replacement property must be identified within 45 days
- The transaction must be completed within 180 days
