I am looking to install solar panels on a 1100 square foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) I am building in West Los Angeles.

Hi everyone, I’m currently preparing my business and financial plan for a bilingual (DE/EN) full-service property management company in the San Antonio–New Braunfels–Austin corridor (planned launch 2026).

Delaware Statutory Trusts are a vehicle for investors, while 1031 exchanges are more of a private toll road that helps navigate investors around the IRS (and DSTs are one possible vehicle that can access this private toll road).  

@Paul De Luca Thanks for taking a time and responding on my post. 

Hi everyone,
I’m Christian, preparing to launch a German-English property management business in the Austin–San Antonio corridor in 2026.

I bring over 20 years of experience managing people, assets, and complex ...

Certainly a bit biased here, but we would strongly recommend setting up LLCs for the properties, and ideally pairing them with a holding company in WY, DE, or NV to fully separate the risks and liabilities of each of the properties from your own personal liability, and vice versa. 

That optional roll is a way to keep earning from a de-risked, higher-value asset — but it’s not required6  I understand why many sponsors take GP fees — it’s often the only way they get paid early in a deal.

Make sure before you jump into solar you consult with a local real estate agent. 

No HOA, no pool, no solar, 10% down payment, and break even cash flow.

They explained to me that I would want to do a Wyoming, Nevada or Delaware Trust over a holding company over each LLC.
