Due Diligence Is Not Optional When Investing in DSTs and TICs

Every investor wants to be certain that they are putting their money into solid investments, especially when it comes to complex real estate transactions. Due diligence – the analysis of the circumstances surrounding an investment – and full disclosure of all material facts is an essential component of the investment process. Especially when it comes to Tenancies in Common (TIC) and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DST).

Every responsible investor should make sure they complete this very important process before entering into a transaction.

Sponsor Analysis – Be sure to scrutinize the experience, financial condition, performance record and backgrounds of the key players involved in the sponsorship.

Structural Review – Enlist the assistance of an experienced attorney to closely review all documentation related to the transaction.

Property Inspection – Never assume the property has been pre-vetted. Ensure that you are confident in the physical condition, that all environmental matters are cleared and that the property is performing comparably with similar properties in the area.
