Don Meredith, Tactical Income Inc.: How Income Property Owners Can Use a Delaware Statutory Trust for 1031 Exchange to Defer Taxes. Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) allow owners of appreciated assets to sell those assets to this special type of trust in exchange for an undivided fractional interest in some other form of income producing property without having to realize a capital gain under the 1031 exchange rules. Revenue Ruling (Rev. Ruling 2004-86) permits the DST to own 100 percent of a fee-simple interest in underlying real estate and may allow up to 100 investors -- sometimes more -- to participate as beneficial owners of the property.
