A Complete Solution
One Place to Start the Entire Boston Exchange
A successful plan begins with the actual transaction: what is being sold, when it may close, how much equity may move forward and what the owner wants life after the sale to look like.

Passive Replacement Options
Leave Boston Property Management Behind
A 1031 exchange does not have to lead to another renovation, another tenant call or another building that depends on the owner every day. Eligible investors can compare professionally managed DST properties alongside direct and net-lease real estate.
- No day-to-day landlord or property-management responsibilities
- Access to professionally managed, institutional-quality real estate
- Some offerings may accept investments around $100,000
- Potential income and diversification across properties or markets
DST interests are securities and may be illiquid. Availability, projected income, sponsor, property, fees, leverage, investor eligibility and suitability vary and require review through an appropriately licensed securities professional.
How the Exchange Moves Forward
Begin Before the Sale Puts the Calendar in Charge
Before the property is listed
Clarify ownership, use, estimated equity, debt, management goals and the advisors who should review the planned sale.
Once the property is under contract
Engage an independent qualified intermediary before closing and align the exchange calendar, documents and closing instructions.
During the replacement search
Compare primary and backup options for income, control, workload, financing, diligence, risk and realistic closing probability.
Through replacement closing
Keep the qualified intermediary, closing team, lenders and advisors aligned as title, funding and property diligence move forward.

Questions Owners Ask
Boston 1031 Exchange FAQs
These answers provide a starting point. The property owner’s CPA, attorney, qualified intermediary and other licensed professionals remain responsible for their specialized work.
Can you help if my Boston property is already under contract?
Yes. Call as soon as possible. An independent qualified intermediary generally needs to be engaged before the relinquished-property sale closes, so the remaining time and transaction facts matter.
Can I exchange a Massachusetts property for real estate in another state?
A 1031 exchange is not limited to Massachusetts replacement property. Investors can consider qualifying investment real estate in other U.S. markets, subject to the transaction facts and advice from their tax and legal professionals.
What if I no longer want to manage tenants and repairs?
You can compare another directly owned property with net-lease and professionally managed DST options. Each path has different tradeoffs involving control, income, fees, liquidity, financing, concentration and risk.
Can inherited investment property qualify for a 1031 exchange?
It may, depending on ownership, use, basis, timing and the owner's intent. Because inherited-property facts vary, the property owner should involve a CPA and attorney before relying on an exchange strategy.
What is a DST replacement property?
A Delaware statutory trust can hold institutional real estate through a professionally managed structure. DST interests are securities and may be illiquid; sponsor, property, fee, leverage, eligibility and suitability review is essential.
How much is typically required for a DST investment?
Some offerings may accept investments around $100,000, but minimums and availability vary. A licensed securities professional must determine eligibility and suitability and provide the applicable offering documents.
Who should be involved before the sale closes?
The transaction may require an independent qualified intermediary, CPA, attorney, brokers, lenders, closing professionals and, when a DST is considered, an appropriately licensed securities professional.
