How Do I Select A Reputable DST Sponsor?

Learning Center Menu

Choosing a reputable DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) sponsor is an important decision that requires careful consideration. Here are some key factors to consider:

  1. Sponsor track record: Research the sponsor's history and track record of successfully managing DSTs. Look for information on past DSTs they have managed, their performance, and how they handled any challenges that arose.
  2. Due diligence process: Look for a sponsor that has a rigorous due diligence process for selecting properties for the DST. This includes a thorough analysis of the property's financials, market trends, and potential risks.
  3. Transparency and communication: Look for a sponsor that is transparent and communicates clearly with investors. They should provide detailed information about the DST and the underlying property, as well as regular updates on performance and any changes in the investment.
  4. Fees and expenses: Look for a sponsor that has a reasonable fee structure and is upfront about all expenses associated with the DST. Ask about any hidden fees or expenses that may be charged.
  5. Regulatory compliance: Look for a sponsor that is compliant with all regulatory requirements and has a clean track record with regulatory agencies.
  6. Independent third-party review: Look for a sponsor that has been independently reviewed by a third-party organization such as Morningstar or Duff & Phelps. These organizations can provide additional insight into the sponsor's track record and management practices.

By considering these factors and doing your own research, you can select a reputable DST sponsor that meets your investment goals and objectives. It's also a good idea to consult with a financial advisor who can provide guidance and help you navigate the complex world of real estate investing.
