Why Investors Choose NexTrend Securities
Narrow Focus, Broad Selection
We specialize in 1031 DST real estate. We have current offerings from established sponsors across a wide range of property types and debt levels, providing options for many different exchange needs.
Independent by
Design
We are not tied to any single DST sponsor, marketing organization, or outside entity, and we do not create offerings of our own. This independence helps reduce potential or perceived conflicts of interest.
We Look Beyond the Numbers
We have never sold a 1031 DST offering without a Due Diligence Legal Opinion. We review the offering documents and conduct our own analysis. In many cases we also visit the properties, and you can too.
Hands-On, Personal Service
From identifying replacement properties to meeting your 45-day and 180-day deadlines, we work with you throughout the exchange process. We explain, answer questions, and help you evaluate your options.
The 1031 process
Sell Your Property
Make sure your sale contract includes 1031 exchange cooperation language, and engage a qualified intermediary before the sale closes.
Qualified Intermediary
At closing, your qualified intermediary receives and holds the sale proceeds so you do not take constructive receipt of the funds.
Review & Identify
NexTrend helps you evaluate available DST offerings across a range of sponsors and identify your replacement property within the 45-day deadline.
1031 DST Closing
Once you select your replacement property, NexTrend works with the DST sponsor and your QI to close within the 180-day deadline.
There’s more to a 1031 exchange than the deadlines
A full tax deferral generally means replacing the equity, the debt and the value. We use our calculators to help keep your exchange on track.

Why investors use 1031 DSTs
- Potential for monthly income
- No day-to-day property management
- Access to larger, professionally managed commercial properties
- Diversification by property type and region
- Depreciation may pass through to investors
- Debt is non-recourse — personal guarantees are generally not required
- Financing is already in place — no loan application or lender qualification
- Lower minimums, so equity can be spread across more than one offering
Where a DST also helps
- Can fit tight exchange timelines — identify within 45 days
- Putting leftover boot to work
These are potential benefits, not assurances. DST interests are illiquid and available to accredited investors only.
