Risks of DST Investments
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are commonly used in 1031 exchange transactions and can appeal to investors seeking passive real estate ownership. However, DST offerings carry unique risks:
-
Illiquidity – Unlike publicly traded REITs, DST interests generally cannot be easily resold.
-
High commissions – Broker-dealers often earn 7–10% in upfront fees, reducing the amount of capital invested in the property.
-
Concentration risk – Investors may be heavily dependent on the performance of a single property or sector, such as logistics.
-
Market fluctuations – Rising interest rates, tenant defaults, or shifts in the logistics/industrial real estate market could impact returns.
CTT Auctions Secondary Market Listing
According to secondary market data from Central Trade & Transfer (CTT Auctions), shares of VA Coastal Logistics DST were listed for resale in July 2025 with no success. Despite being available for nearly a week, no shares were sold, and there was no bidding activity. This lack of demand highlights the illiquid nature of DST investments and the challenges investors face if they try to exit early.
Concerns for VA Coastal Logistics DST Investors
Because DST investments are often sold to retail investors as income-producing, low-risk opportunities, there is concern that some broker-dealers may have misrepresented the risks or failed to perform adequate due diligence. Given the large number of selling broker-dealers listed in the filing, investors may have been widely solicited for this offering.
If your financial advisor recommended VA Coastal Logistics DST and you have suffered losses, you may be able to recover damages through FINRA arbitration. Broker-dealers have a duty to ensure investments are suitable for each client, taking into account risk tolerance, investment objectives, and liquidity needs.
FINRA Arbitration for Investment Loss Recovery
Investors who have suffered losses in DSTs or other private placement offerings may be able to pursue claims through FINRA arbitration. This dispute resolution process can allow investors to recover losses caused by unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentation, or broker misconduct—without the need for a lengthy class action.
