Important Disclosures & Risk Summary: Investment Risks: Investing in Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) properties and real estate securities involve material risks. These include illiquidity, tenant vacancies, market conditions, competition, lack of operating history, interest rate fluctuations, new supply/softening rental rates, financing risks, development risks, long hold periods, and the potential loss of entire principal. General risks of commercial, multifamily, and short-term lease properties apply. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Cash flow, returns, and appreciation are not guaranteed.

Tax & Suitability Advice: IRC Section 1031 is a complex tax concept. The 1031 Exchange Guide is a general educational resource for navigating like-kind exchanges; it does not indicate suitability for any specific investor, nor does it constitute an offer or solicitation to sell securities. Consult a legal or tax professional regarding your specific situation.

Accredited Investor Requirement: DST properties are restricted to accredited investors (typically requiring a $1 million net worth excluding primary residence, or income of $200,000 individually / $300,000 jointly for the past two years) and accredited entities.
