From 1031 to DST: Building a scalable platform
Sponsors building DST platforms tell us the deal flow is rarely the hard part. The real complexity often sits in the structuring decisions, coordination between parties, and operational infrastructure required to support growth at scale.
Matt Podolsky and Jackson Burns from Vistra Fund Solutions were joined by Steven Holtkamp of Accruit and Peter Matejcak of Baker McKenzie for a practical session that covered:
- How demand for 1031 exchanges and DSTs is shifting
- The structuring decisions where sponsors most often run into trouble
- How coordination and data flow shape outcomes at the transaction level
- What scalable operational infrastructure actually looks like in practice
Whether you're entering the DST space for the first time or refining an existing platform, our team would be happy to connect.
