Seller looking for 1031 into REITS (DSTs)?

[Avery Robertson]

Does anyone have any experience with doing a 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust?

Background: I found a potential off market seller. Older couple thinking of selling there duplex. One thing holding them back are the potential capital gains. He asked if he could 1031 into a REIT. A quick google search looks like you can essentially do this with a DST.

Looking for some basic guidance I can provide him on how to go about this if possible

Thanks in advance.
