A property list is only useful after it is matched to the exchange.
Available does not mean appropriate, financeable, or closable. The search starts with the sale and turns it into a written replacement brief so direct properties, net-lease assets, and passive options can be judged against the same facts.
See the real estate choices before one listing controls the decision.
Review direct ownership, lower-management net-lease property, and passive DST interests without pretending they offer the same control, liquidity, fees, or diligence.

Passive real estateDST Interests
Professionally managed real estate with offering-specific fees, leverage, risk, and illiquidity.
Leave the tenants, toilets, and trash without leaving real estate.
A DST may give eligible investors access to professionally managed, institutional-quality property while removing day-to-day landlord decisions. It can also help place a precise equity amount or serve as a reviewed backup when a direct acquisition becomes uncertain.
- No personal responsibility for leasing, repairs, or property operations
- Exposure to real estate selected and managed by an experienced sponsor
- Some current offerings may accept investments around $100,000
- Potential to divide exchange equity among more than one property or sponsor
- Current availability, investor eligibility, suitability, fees, leverage, income, risk, and liquidity vary
Compare ownership paths against the same sale.
The right route depends on the owner, the exchange amount, the property risk, and what the capital must do after closing.
| Decision | Direct Property | Net-Lease Property | DST Interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | The owner directs leases, financing, capital, and sale. | The owner controls the property subject to the lease. | The sponsor and trustee control the property. |
| Management | The owner or hired manager operates the asset. | The lease allocates specified obligations to the tenant. | Professional management removes daily landlord decisions. |
| Primary review | Title, leases, operations, condition, debt, and closing. | Tenant, guaranty, lease, property, residual value, and reletting. | Offering documents, sponsor, fees, leverage, property, risk, and suitability. |
| Liquidity | Usually requires a sale or refinance. | Depends on the future property and tenant market. | Generally illiquid and transfer-restricted. |
The search has to remain executable after identification.
A useful process advances the property file, financing, advisors, and backups together instead of waiting for the deadline to expose what was missed.
Ownership, use, timing, expected equity, debt, income, management, and geography.
Direct, net-lease, and passive candidates checked for status, fit, and fatal facts.
Identification descriptions, values, availability, and paths the owner would accept.
Contracts, lender, title, insurance, inspections, documents, funding, and final advisor questions.
Look beyond one market when the numbers or timing demand it.
Compare local control with national property availability, different income drivers, and diversification opportunities.
What exchangers ask before they request inventory.
Current property availability is only the beginning. The first conversation should reveal what can fit the transaction and what still needs professional review.
Can the current 1031 property list be viewed online?
Inventory and offering availability change. Submit the short form with the sale timing, equity, debt, income, market, and management goals so the current list can be filtered before it is shared.
What kinds of 1031 exchange properties may be available?
The search may include multifamily, industrial, self-storage, medical office, retail, land, net-lease property, other direct real estate, and DST interests. Availability depends on the market and the investor's criteria.
What if the relinquished property is already under contract?
Start immediately. Confirm the expected closing, qualified intermediary, exchange equity, debt target, identification deadline, lender capacity, and acceptable backup paths before reviewing current candidates.
Can a DST remove day-to-day property management?
A DST is professionally managed, so the investor generally does not handle tenants, maintenance, or renovations. The investor also gives up operating control and accepts offering-specific sponsor, fee, leverage, risk, liquidity, and transfer terms.
Is there a minimum investment for a DST?
Some offerings may accept investments around $100,000, while minimums and available equity or debt allocations vary. Investor eligibility, suitability, offering documents, acceptance, and current availability still apply.
What if a direct replacement deal fails after Day 45?
The remaining choices usually depend on the final identification and current availability. Contact the qualified intermediary, tax advisor, counsel, lender, and property search team immediately to assess identified backups and the closing calendar.

Educational property-search assistance only. Tax and legal conclusions belong to the investor’s CPA and counsel.

DST interests are securities and require eligibility, availability, offering-document, fee, risk, and suitability review through appropriately licensed professionals.
