Land doesn’t depreciate, and while buildings require maintenance, they usually gain value as markets grow, demand increases, and inflation takes its toll.Real estate investors benefit from a significant tax write-off based on the concept that properties lose value over time, even as their market value skyrockets.

Would a DST work to defer taxes on ordinary income from say flipping properties and using the trust to invest in more properties?

I asked one of these coaches who said her rental income is $140,000 a year if that is the gross rental income or net rental income (after mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, repairs, vacancies, capital expenses).
