1031 Exchanges

Replacement property sourcing for 1031 exchange investors, and end-to-end sponsorship of Delaware Statutory Trusts.

1031 Exchanges

Established expertise in 1031 exchanges

Our professionals bring more than 40 years of combined real estate experience and extensive expertise to the 1031 exchange market, on both sides of the transaction. We help exchange investors locate replacement opportunities that fit their goals and timelines, and we structure and launch Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) from start to finish.

As a DST sponsor, Goodfellow can manage every stage of an offering: sourcing and acquiring the property, structuring the trust and its financing, bringing the offering to market, and serving as asset manager and property manager through the eventual sale.

Replacement property

Finding the right replacement

Exchange deadlines are tight, but speed never comes at the expense of diligence. Every offering we present to an investor first passes a rigorous review and qualification process, and we work alongside investors, their qualified intermediary and their tax advisors to match the right opportunity to their objectives and close on time.

How we qualify an offering

  • Sponsor: track record, financial strength and full-cycle results on prior offerings
  • Property: location, tenant credit, lease terms and physical condition
  • Financing: leverage, interest rate, maturity and lender terms
  • Offering terms: fees, reserves and how projected distributions compare with property cash flow
  • Structure: review of the offering documents and the trust’s compliance with IRS requirements
  • Third-party reports: independent due diligence, appraisal and environmental findings

What we match on

  • Income and distribution goals
  • Property type and location
  • The debt level needed to replace existing financing
  • Diversification across multiple DSTs or properties
  • Timing to meet the 45-day and 180-day deadlines
