Three plain-language guides for investors weighing what to do after selling property or realizing a large capital gain. Choose a guide, enter your first name and email, and the download opens right away. We also email you the link so you can return to it later.
The 1031 Exchange Master Guidebook
A walk-through of the 1031 exchange: how it works, the rules and deadlines that apply, and the decisions investors face from sale to replacement property.
The DST Guide
An introduction to Delaware Statutory Trusts: what a DST is, how it can serve as replacement property in a 1031 exchange, who can invest, and the risks and trade-offs to weigh before you commit. Some DST sponsors also offer an exit into a real estate investment trust through a 721 exchange (UPREIT). Because that move ends your ability to do further 1031 exchanges, it is worth understanding before you invest. Learn more on our UPREIT / 721 Exchange page.
The Ultimate Opportunity Zone Guide
An overview of investing capital gains through Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) in designated Opportunity Zones. For the current rules, read Opportunity Zone 2.0: New Rules Explained.
Prefer to talk it through?
If you have a sale planned, under contract, or recently closed, a short conversation can help you sort out which options fit your situation and timeline.
These guides are for educational purposes only and are not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Investments in DSTs, Qualified Opportunity Funds, and other private real estate offerings are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Consult your own tax and legal advisors.
