Too Much Property Management
Tenant calls, maintenance, leasing, payroll, and capital projects may be consuming more time than the property is worth.

Your 1031 Exchange Should Solve the Problem That Made You Sell.
A replacement property is not automatically a better investment. The search should begin with the workload, income need, ownership issue, or portfolio change that made the Columbus property worth leaving.
Talk Through the SaleRetirement or Lifestyle Change
The next investment may need to preserve income potential without recreating the same operating responsibilities.
Inherited Investment Property
Ownership, basis, qualifying use, co-owner priorities, and sale timing should be organized before a disposition advances.
Partnership or Portfolio Change
A sale may create an opportunity to separate objectives, reduce concentration, or move equity into a different property path.
One complete sale-to-replacement path
Move the Columbus Exchange Forward Without Guesswork.
The calendar matters, but the work begins with the property being sold and ends with a replacement that can realistically close.
Start with the planned sale
Clarify ownership, qualifying use, expected equity, debt, closing timing, and the problem the replacement property should solve.
Protect the exchange before closing
Connect with an independent qualified intermediary early so sale proceeds and exchange documents can be handled correctly.

Replacement property choices
Choose the Ownership Path That Fits What Comes Next.
Direct property, net-lease real estate, and DST interests offer different levels of control, work, diversification, financing, liquidity, and risk. Compare them against the same sale objective.
Direct Real Estate
Own and control the property, financing, leasing, improvements, and eventual disposition—with the operating responsibility that accompanies that control.
Compare this pathNet-Lease Property
Retain direct ownership while the lease assigns specified expenses and responsibilities to the tenant. Tenant credit, lease terms, condition, and residual value still matter.
Compare this pathDST Real Estate
Explore professionally managed institutional-grade real estate when less day-to-day landlord work is a priority. Sponsor, fees, leverage, liquidity, eligibility, and suitability require review.
Compare this pathPassive replacement options
Leave Tenants, Maintenance, and Capital Surprises Behind.
A DST may provide access to professionally managed institutional-grade real estate without day-to-day landlord responsibilities. Certain offerings may begin around $100,000, while minimums, availability, projected income, fees, leverage, sponsor and asset risks, liquidity, eligibility, and suitability vary.

Questions Property Owners Ask Before They Sell.
Potentially. A property owner may compare another directly owned asset with net-lease real estate or a professionally managed DST. Each path has different tradeoffs involving control, income, fees, liquidity, diversification, and risk.
Certain properly structured DST interests may be eligible as replacement property. Availability, offering terms, investor eligibility, fees, risks, projected income, leverage, liquidity, and suitability must be reviewed with appropriately licensed professionals.
Start by creating a written replacement brief and comparing primary and backup paths. The search should account for exchange equity, debt, financing, management goals, diligence, and the ability to close within the exchange period.
Investment real estate elsewhere in the United States may potentially be considered like-kind to Ohio investment real estate. The specific property and transaction should be reviewed with the qualified intermediary and tax and legal advisors.
It may be possible when the property and proposed replacement satisfy the applicable requirements. Ownership, basis, prior use, intended use, co-owner goals, and estate considerations should be reviewed before the sale proceeds.
There may still be time to organize an exchange if the relinquished property has not closed and the seller has not received the proceeds. Contact an independent qualified intermediary immediately rather than waiting for closing.
Certain offerings may begin around $100,000, but minimums vary. DST interests are private-placement securities, and eligibility, availability, offering documents, fees, risks, liquidity limitations, and suitability all require appropriate review.
The identification period generally ends 45 calendar days after the relinquished-property closing, and the exchange period generally ends after 180 days or the applicable tax-return deadline if earlier. The independent QI and tax advisors should confirm the dates for the transaction.
