Retirement and Debt-Free Properties

Real estate is the cornerstone to the retirement plans for many of our clients. When the time comes that a property has become management intensive, the tenants become too obnoxious, too much of the investors net worth is tied up in one single property in one single location as well as when the investor realizes that the return on their equity isn’t what it could be, selling the property and doing a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes becomes a viable consideration. The “I don’t know what I would 1031 exchange into” is what keeps many people holding onto their properties for longer than they ideally would want to. At Cove Capital Investments, we offer an alternative to being in the same boat for longer than you feel you need to be.

After selling your investment property, capital gains taxes may come knocking on your door and take a significant portion of the equity you have worked so hard to build. Our Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investments are a type of real estate investment that could potentially fit your situation. DSTs are a way to complete a 1031 exchange into replacement property investments that are completely passive investment. This means that you could potentially be receiving monthly distributions from a property you do not have to manage.

We believe the benefits to this could be immediate and speak for themselves. These DSTs are a true beneficial ownership in real estate in properties like single tenant net-leased assets (think a Walgreens pharmacy, FedEx distribution facility, Fresenius dialysis clinic), multifamily apartments, or self-storage facilities. A pillar of our business model is our belief in debt-free DST investments. When first acquiring real estate, it may have been that a typical thirty-year mortgage was used to begin the long road to building equity in a property and paying off the mortgage. Once that goal has been completed and investors own their property free and clear with no debt, why would you increase your risk profile by adding more debt at a different stage in life? For this reason, Cove Capital focuses on providing all-cash/debt-free DST investments for our clients.

This strategy is not for everyone. For those investors that are seeking outsized return potential the debt free strategy is not for you. Outsized return potential also come with a much higher set of risk factors. At Cove Capital, we are of the mindset that we a) want to help protect the principal of 1031 investors as much as possible by not using long-term debt and b) pursue a predictable durable stream of potential distributions.
