Where Opportunities Meet Expertise
At St. George Investment Group, we provide real estate owners and their advisory teams with planning-focused solutions related to 1031 Exchanges, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), and other passive real estate structures.
For many investors, real estate has served as a cornerstone of long-term wealth building. Over time, however, priorities often evolve. Some property owners begin to explore strategies that may help reduce day-to-day management responsibilities, support portfolio diversification, or align with legacy and wealth transfer goals.
Our team brings decades of experience across commercial real estate, investment strategy, and real estate transition planning. We work with investors who are evaluating ways to reposition investment property holdings while remaining mindful of tax considerations, risk factors, and long-term objectives.
What We Offer:
Real Estate Transition Solutions
Real estate owners often reach decision points where they may consider transitioning away from active property management.
Common motivations include:
-
Reducing operational burdens associated with direct ownership
-
Planning for retirement or generational wealth transfer
-
Seeking more passive real estate participation
-
Diversifying across property types or geographic markets
-
Managing capital gains exposure when selling appreciated assets
1031 Exchange Planning Strategies
A 1031 Exchange is a reference to a section in the IRS tax code that defines how real estate investors may be able to defer certain capital gains taxes when selling investment real estate and reinvesting proceeds into other qualifying property.
Investors often evaluate exchange strategies when:
-
Selling highly appreciated property
-
Transitioning from active management to passive ownership
-
Repositioning into different asset categories
-
Coordinating broader estate or succession planning
Passive Real Estate Opportunities
Many long-time property owners eventually seek alternatives to the responsibilities of tenants, maintenance, and ongoing property oversight. Passive real estate structures may provide one pathway investors evaluate when transitioning away from hands-on ownership.
These solutions may be considered by investors who are:
-
Approaching retirement
-
Seeking simplified ownership structures
-
Planning for long-term wealth preservation
-
Looking to reduce management burdens
