DSTRUTH is the independent field guide to 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts — written by people who spent ten years marketing for this industry and got tired of the script. Free guides. Graded sponsors. And when you're ready, an introduction to a partner we actually vet — with every dollar of our compensation disclosed.
The free guide is a lead magnet. The webinar is a pitch. The "advisor" earns a commission on the product they just recommended. None of that is illegal — but it should be labeled. Here, it is. Every page on this site tells you what it's for.
Sales loads, sponsor fees, disposition costs, reserve accounts — the fees that decide your actual return sit on page 47 of a document most investors never open. We read the fine print for a living. Then we highlight it, in plain English, for free.
A decade of building campaigns, funnels, and dashboards for this industry showed us who returns calls, who hides fees, and who quietly disappears after closing. That's the entire reason this site exists — to point you at the good ones and grade the rest.
Long-form guides, written to be the last thing you need to read on each topic — not the first step of a funnel.
Track record, fee load, communication, and deal quality — scored on a rubric we publish. No pay-to-play. No "featured partners." A sponsor can't buy a better grade.
// Names redacted in this mockup. On the live site, grades link to full report cards with sourcing. Grades are editorial opinion based on published offering documents and public records — not investment advice.
Nobody else in this industry will show you this page. That's exactly why we lead with it.
Every guide, grade, and calculator on this site is free. No paywall, no "unlock with your email," no upsell on the thank-you page.
When you're ready for a human — a qualified intermediary, a DST advisor, a tax pro — we match you with a partner from our vetted bench. You can say no. Most people don't.
If the introduction becomes a working relationship, the partner compensates us a referral fee. It never changes what you pay, and it's disclosed to you in writing before your first call.
// The catch you're looking for: our incentive is to keep partners on the bench only if readers keep having good experiences. One bad match costs us more than any referral fee is worth. That's the whole business model.
Tell us where you are in your exchange. We'll match you with a vetted partner who fits your situation — or tell you honestly if you don't need one yet.
