Risks of DST Investments
Delaware Statutory Trusts offer potential tax benefits for investors pursuing 1031 exchanges, but they also come with significant risks:
- Illiquidity: DSTs are not traded on public exchanges and are difficult to sell or exit early.
- Principal Risk: The underlying real estate may underperform, reducing returns or leading to losses.
- No Investor Control: Investors have no authority over operational or sale decisions.
- Tax Consequences: Failure to comply with IRS regulations may jeopardize the 1031 exchange benefits.
Regulation Best Interest and Broker Liability
Under Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI), brokers must perform adequate due diligence and ensure that investment recommendations align with a client’s risk profile and goals. If your financial advisor failed to properly assess Inspired Senior Living of Carson Valley DST before recommending it, you may be eligible to pursue a FINRA arbitration claim to recover your losses.
FINRA Arbitration vs. Class Action
For investors with substantial losses—typically over $100,000—individual FINRA arbitration is usually a better option than joining a class action. Arbitration allows for a personalized case and potentially faster resolution.
