Equity Recycling: The Modern Strategy for Building Permanent Capital Without Selling
Equity Recycling allows real estate owners to unlock trapped equity without selling, paying taxes, or giving up their best assets. By using tools like DSTs, 1031 exchanges, and 721 UPREIT structures, investors can convert actively managed properties into passive income, diversification, and long-term permanent capital—all while keeping their wealth compounding.
Building Permanent Capital with REIT Platforms
Traditional real estate models rely on selling assets to generate returns—but this interrupts compounding and triggers taxes. REIT platforms offer a better path by creating Permanent Capital: long-term asset retention, tax-efficient 721 exchanges, diversified income, and stable growth. Learn how REIT structures transform real estate into an enduring wealth strategy.
Unlock Equity: Transition to Passive Investor w/ DSTs
Many long-time property owners feel trapped by the responsibilities of active management, even as their equity grows. A 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) offers a clean pathway to unlock that equity, defer taxes, and convert real estate into truly passive income. DSTs provide professional management, diversification, and estate-planning simplicity—all without the day-to-day landlord stress. If you're ready to transition from hands-on to hands-off ownership, a DST may be the ideal next step.
Real Estate Done Right: Preserve Your Family’s Future and Avoid Costly Conflict
Real estate can secure your family’s future—or create unnecessary conflict if not planned properly. Learn how 1031 exchanges, DSTs, and simplified ownership structures help families preserve wealth, avoid disputes, and build a legacy that lasts for generations.
Why Family Offices Are Migrating to Permanent Capital Platforms
Family offices are moving toward Permanent Capital platforms for greater stability, predictable income, liquidity, and simplified reporting. These structures align with long-term goals like generational wealth planning, tax efficiency, and reduced operational complexity—making Permanent Capital an increasingly preferred strategy for modern families.
IRR vs Multiple: Why Permanent Capital Changes Success Metrics
Traditional metrics like IRR and Equity Multiple focus on quick exits—not long-term wealth. Permanent Capital shifts the focus toward Yield on Cost, NAV Growth, and Cash Flow Per Unit, offering a clearer picture of compounding success and sustainable portfolio growth.
DST vs. TIC: Why More Investors Choose DSTs
DSTs and TICs both qualify for 1031 exchanges, but DSTs offer easier financing, passive ownership, scalability, and stronger estate planning benefits. For investors seeking simplicity and tax-efficient passive income, DSTs have become the preferred choice.

Top 5 Requirements for a Successful 1031 Exchange with Delaware Statutory Trusts
A successful 1031 exchange requires strict IRS compliance—meeting the 45-day and 180-day deadlines, reinvesting all proceeds, working with a Qualified Intermediary, and selecting investment-grade replacement property. DSTs make this process easier by offering pre-approved, passive, turn-key real estate options that simplify identification, streamline closing, and help investors secure full tax deferral.
Building Institutional Infrastructure That Scales
Businesses that rely on individual effort eventually hit a ceiling. Institutional infrastructure—governance frameworks, technology systems, scalable processes, and permanent capital—creates the foundation for sustainable, long-term growth. Companies that build these systems early can scale efficiently, reduce risk, and move confidently into their next stage of expansion.
What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?
A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a structured, IRS-approved investment vehicle that lets multiple investors co-own institutional-quality real estate while deferring capital gains taxes through a 1031 exchange. DSTs offer passive income, professional management, and simplified estate planning—an ideal solution for investors seeking stability and long-term wealth preservation.
How DSTs Provide Exceptional Benefits for 1031 Exchange Investors
DSTs give 1031 exchange investors a powerful way to defer taxes, eliminate management burdens, and gain predictable passive income. Medalist enhances these benefits through high-quality, single-tenant net-lease assets selected for stability and long-term performance. For investors seeking simplicity, security, and tax-efficient wealth preservation, DSTs offer a strategic solution.
How Elite Operators Multiply Wealth Without Selling Winners

This model transforms real estate wealth from transactional to compounding.
Why Medalist’s Permanent Capital Platform Outperforms Deal-by-Deal Models
Deal-by-deal real estate creates stress, tax drag, and lost compounding, but Medalist’s Permanent Capital platform offers a smarter alternative. By starting with a passive-income DST and optionally converting into a diversified REIT through a 721 UPREIT, investors gain stability, tax efficiency, and long-term growth. Instead of selling top-performing assets, families can now keep their wealth compounding for generations.
