For property owners looking to exchange into a passive ownership structure, buying fractional interests of property through a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) is by far the most popular tool used today, and for many good reasons.
A DST is a legal property-ownership structure that allows property owners to buy a fractional interest of an investment property. This is a critical component as your ownership interests cannot be negatively impacted by the actions of other property owners. This is often a downfall of TIC (tenant-in-common) structures as one rogue investor can force all other investors to take an undesirable action that is not in their best interest.
