Demystifying Loan to Value (LTV) in DST 1031 Exchanges

Knowledge BaseLeave a comment

Understanding Loan to Value (LTV) in the context of a Delaware Statutory Trust (“DST”) 1031 exchange requires consideration of the reserves, when making the right financial moves for investors. Not to worry though, this post is all about clearing the fog. When investing in a DST, the LTV is important because it indicates how much debt is paired with the equity. The higher the LTV, the more debt that is paired with the equity purchased. On the other hand, a lower LTV means an investor pairs less debt with their equity to buy the replacement property. Using a lower LTV can create boot and will generate more taxable income in the future.
