Deferred Sales Trust Vs. Delaware Statutory Trust

WHAT IS A DELAWARE STATUTORY TRUST?
The Delaware statutory trust is a passive real estate exit strategy. Despite the name, this method is not limited to residents of Delaware. Property owners across the United States have the option to sell their real estate to a Delaware statutory trust. In order to do so, the seller completes a 1031 exchange and then puts the proceeds of their sale into the trust. By depositing their profits in the trust, the seller can defer paying capital gains tax on the sale. The seller then receives structured payments on the interest of their investment.
The Delaware statutory trust may be ideal for property owners who are tired of dealing with tenants, repairs, and the headaches associated with rental properties. This option allows you to have a passive stake in the investment without the personal management involved. The Delaware statutory trust may allow up to 100 investors to participate, with the master tenant being the real estate sponsor firm who is in charge of the trust.
WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE DELAWARE STATUTORY TRUST?
Although the Delaware statutory trust is a legal and established form of real estate investment, it is not without its risks. Loan defaults and high vacancy are always a possibility with this type of investment.
WHY IS THE DEFERRED SALES TRUST A SUPERIOR INVESTING STRATEGY?
The Deferred Sales Trust offers much more flexibility for real estate owners than the Delaware statutory trust. By selling your asset to the Deferred Sales Trust, you can diversify the investments securing your promissory note, as such investments can be stocks, bonds, annuities, mutual funds, property, collectibles, and more. Business owners, practice owners, and property owners can sell their assets to the Deferred Sales Trust – these owners would not be able to sell their assets to a Delaware statutory trust.
