I'm trying to understand if a Deferred Sales Trust (DST) can be considered as a 1031 exchange. I'm curious about the tax implications and whether using a DST offers the same benefits as a traditional 1031 exchange.

Additionally, investors must ensure they are fully invested in the DST within 180 days of closing on their relinquished property.
