The solution
Property owners who sell investment real estate must identify replacement property within 45 days and close within 180 days — or forfeit tax deferral. DSTs provide 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. Optionality Capital shortens hold periods to 2–3 years and provides a built-in exit event where investors can cash out or roll into a new 1031 exchange at disposition.
