Property owners who sell investment real estate must identify replacement property within 45 days and close within 180 days — or lose their tax deferral. DSTs offer a passive, hands-off solution to this time-sensitive need. But traditional DSTs create a new problem: capital is locked for 7–10 years with no liquidity. Investors feel trapped. Optionality Capital solves both problems — shorter 2–5 year holds with a built-in exit event where investors can cash out or roll into another 1031 exchange at disposition.
