What Is CS1031 Holiday MHC, DST?
CS1031 Holiday MHC, DST is a Regulation D private placement sponsored by Capital Square Realty Advisors, LLC.

CS1031 Holiday MHC, DST Distributions Cut to 2%
In a recent letter to investors, Capital Square reportedly said it will temporarily reduce the distribution rate to 2.00%, starting with the October distribution to be paid around November 10, 2026. According to the letter, occupancy at Holiday Park fell to 82.2% as of June 30, 2026, down from 99.1% at acquisition. The sponsor also reported that real estate taxes were running about 110% above projections and utilities about 120% above projections. As a result, net operating income has come in below the projections in the Private Placement Memorandum. Capital Square said it had advanced about $758,152 to support distributions and that this level of support was not sustainable. The sponsor said it may consider other options, including a sale of the property, if occupancy does not improve.
Offering Terms
According to the DST’s SEC filing, the offering planned to raise $38.3 million from investors, with a minimum investment of $50,000. Estimated sales commissions totaled about $3.25 million. About $821,390 of investor proceeds went to sponsor or insider compensation. WealthForge Securities, LLC served as the broker-dealer for the offering.
Broker Due Diligence Obligations
Brokerage firms must conduct reasonable due diligence on private placements before recommending them. They must also recommend only investments that fit each client’s goals, risk tolerance, and need for liquidity. A firm that skips this work or downplays the risks may be liable for investor losses.
Risks of CS1031 Holiday MHC, DST
DSTs are often sold as hands-off real estate investments, but they carry real risks. Investors usually cannot sell their interests before the property is sold. Large upfront fees and commissions reduce the money actually invested. Investors also have no say in how the property is run or when it is sold.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file a claim to recover money invested in CS1031 Holiday MHC, DST?
Most investors file a claim through FINRA arbitration against the brokerage firm that recommended the investment. Most brokerage account agreements typically include a pre-dispute arbitration clause, so these claims usually go to arbitration instead of court. Arbitration can still result in a monetary recovery.
Why are DSTs like CS1031 Holiday MHC risky?
DSTs are illiquid, so investors usually cannot get their money out until the property is sold. If occupancy drops or expenses rise, as Capital Square reported at Holiday Park, distributions can be cut and principal can be lost.
Can the brokerage firm be held responsible for my losses?
Yes, a brokerage firm may be liable if it failed to do proper due diligence or recommended an unsuitable investment. Firms also have a duty to supervise their brokers and may be liable for failing to do so.
