Ben Carmona, Managing Partner of Perch Wealth and Forbes Finance Council Member, Shares Expertise in Latest Article on Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) and 1031 Exchanges
IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB) April 03, 2023 -- Ben Carmona, Managing Partner of Perch Wealth, and Forbes Finance Council member, offered an insider perspective on Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) and 1031 exchanges as two popular options for real estate investors seeking to potentially defer taxes and diversify their portfolios in his latest Forbes article.
Carmona brings more than 20 years of applied experience to the Forbes Finance Council, he is an expert in real estate investments, structures, and strategies. Through this experience, Carmona has developed a comprehensive understanding of alternative investments and the financial services industry with deep knowledge and expertise in structured 1031 products.
“Real estate is becoming increasingly mainstream as a form of investment. The high barriers to entry that once existed have been reduced due to new investment options such as fractional ownership through Delaware Statutory Trusts. This opens up potential tax benefits associated with real estate investments,” writes Carmona.
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) and 1031 exchanges are popular tools used in real estate investing to potentially defer taxes and manage risk. DSTs offer investors the ability to diversify real estate portfolios across different asset classes and property types. DSTs can potentially defer capital gains taxes on the sale of property by exchanging it for an ownership interest in the DST. Additionally, investors can also receive a potential tax-advantaged income stream.
In his Forbes article, Carmona continued, “The difference between active and passive investing is significant, and it's important for investors to understand which approach aligns with their goals. For those seeking a more hands-off investment, rolling the proceeds from the sale of a property into a DST through a 1031 exchange can be a favorable option as it allows them to defer capital gains tax and aim for passive income.”
1031 exchanges allow investors to potentially defer capital gains taxes on the sale of a property by reinvesting the proceeds into another "like-kind" property. This allows investors to potentially defer paying taxes until they sell the replacement property. By deferring taxes, investors potentially have more capital available to reinvest into a new property, which can increase their purchasing power and potentially lead to higher returns. 1031 exchanges allow investors to diversify their portfolios by exchanging one property for another, which can potentially help mitigate risks and increase long-term returns.
These tools can be complex, and investors may need to work with experienced professionals to ensure that they are using them correctly.
Carmona’s article is Perch Wealth’s second contribution to Forbes on the topic of Delaware Statuary Trusts and 1031 exchanges, the first was penned by Ehud Gersten, and covered Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF), DSTs, and 1031s.
