ABOUT
Plain-English education for accredited 1031 investors.
My 1031 Options is an educational resource for accredited investors evaluating 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trust replacement property. We publish plain-English explainers, sponsor-evaluation frameworks, and step-by-step process guides and we route investors who want to speak with a registered representative through a FINRA registered distribution network.
Why this site exists.
THE PROBLEM
Most DST websites are sales channels.
The vast majority of online resources about Delaware Statutory Trusts exist to convert search traffic into subscribers for one specific offering. Their copy is reviewed primarily for offering-specific compliance, not investor education.
The result: investors approaching a 45-day identification window encounter pitches, not explanations. Comparison content reads as competitive marketing. And the answers to basic questions — what is a DST, how does a 1031 work, what should I ask a sponsor — are buried beneath calls to action.
OUR APPROACH
Education first. Specifics behind compliance.
The content on this site is structured as education first. Plain-English explainers on 1031 rules, DST mechanics, and sponsor evaluation. Frameworks investors can use with any sponsor. Step-by-step process walkthroughs.
Specific offerings live where they belong — in broker-dealer-protected channels, behind Private Placement Memoranda, accessible only to accredited investors after a registered representative has reviewed their situation.
Our editorial standards.
What we publish on this site, and what we deliberately don't.
WHAT WE PUBLISH
Educational content for accredited investors.
Plain-English explainers on 1031 exchange rules and DST mechanics
Sponsor-evaluation frameworks for use with any sponsor
Process walkthroughs and timeline tools
Honest pros, cons, and structural comparisons
Common-mistake guides and red-flag inventories
FAQs, glossary entries, and reference checklists
WHAT WE DON’T PUBLISH
Anything reserved for offering documents.
Specific return projections, distribution rates, or IRRs
Property-level financials for any active offering
Forward-looking performance claims
"Guaranteed," "safe," or "risk-free" language
Sponsor pitches or single-deal promotions
Testimonials or client case studies without explicit consent
This isn't editorial caution for its own sake. Reg D private placements operate under specific marketing rules, and forward-looking claims about offerings belong in the offering documents themselves. Our role is to make sure accredited investors are well-informed before those documents are reviewed , not to substitute for them.
