Help! DST - Establishing a Delaware Statutory Trust

[Brandon Turner]

Anyone have any experience with a establishing a DST (" Delaware Statutory Trust ") or know anyone who does?

A friend of mine has a great syndication deal on an apartment in Arizona, and I want to put my 1031 money into it. BUT the only way to put 1031 money into a DST is through a TIC (which we don't wanna do) or form a DST. BUT the deal is fairly small (2.7M purchase price, 1.2M raise). So I need to find out if I can establish a DST for this deal and can dump my 1031 proceeds into it.  (I've got 9 days left to identify my replacement property... and starting to get nervous!) Help!
