DST Round Trip with Defeasance Added To Debt - Added Risk?

Phil Milner
Posted

I has just experienced my first DST round trip. The defeasance cost

caught me by surprise. The sale occurred at the end of year 5 causing

five years of early payoff penalty interest. The cost was added to our

debt and this grew our debt allocation by almost 9%. Now the next

rollover must include the higher loan to value ratio. If this keeps up,

one day an ill timed recession might wipe me out. I could go back and

take the defeasance as an expense that would lover my capital return

from 58% to 39%. If I rollover with the higher debt I increase my

monthly cash flow by 25%, but if I take out the fees as an expense

(reducing both my debt and equity) my increase in cash flow is only 5%.

Should I worry about the increase in debt and take the lower return or

is it safe to go forward with the proposed rollover?
