How owners stepped out of active management
Composite, anonymized case files drawn from 1031 exchanges LRC 1031 has coordinated for property owners.

Two owners in their early 70s wouldn't consider selling until they understood a 1031 into three DSTs spanning multifamily, self-storage, and net-lease retail. The $2.1M property sold, and they stepped out of active management within 90 days. Complete tax deferral.

A retirement-age couple kept saying 'next year.' Once they saw the plan, the duplex sold and proceeds rolled into a two-DST portfolio, coordinated with their attorney to preserve step-up at death. The income they rely on in retirement is now more diversified, with no property to actively manage.
