An Invite-Only Educational Evening for Small Apartment Owners
Owners of 2–4 unit apartment properties are invited to attend a private, educational evening focused on 1031 exchange planning, capital preservation, and reinvestment strategies — hosted in a relaxed, refined setting with wine and conversation.
This event is designed for property owners who are considering a sale now or in the coming years and want a clearer understanding of how a 1031 exchange may support their long-term financial and estate-planning goals.
Attendance is limited to maintain a high-quality, discussion-focused experience.
Who This Evening Is For
This event is intended for:
- Owners of small apartment properties (2–4 units)
- Investors evaluating a potential sale or exit strategy
- Owners seeking to reduce capital gains taxes and plan next steps
- Individuals interested in simplifying ownership without rushing a decision
No prior exchange experience is required.
What You Will Learn
During this guided, educational evening, attendees will gain clarity on:
- When a 1031 exchange is appropriate — and when it may not be
- The step-by-step mechanics of completing a successful exchange
- Common mistakes and red flags that can derail tax deferral
- How Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are commonly used as replacement property
- Practical examples of current DST investment offerings
The goal is to help you make informed decisions before you sell, not after.
Evening Agenda
**4:30 – 5:00 PM (**Arrival & Check-In)
Guests arrive, check in, and receive drink tickets. Wine and light hospitality will be available.

Tera will provide a clear, structured overview of:
- Who qualifies for a 1031 exchange
- What types of properties qualify
- The step-by-step 1031 exchange process
- Key red flags and common planning mistakes to avoid
This segment is designed to establish a strong foundation and address the most frequent questions property owners have before selling.
**5:30 – 5:45 PM (**Understanding DSTs with Matt Ayer)
Matt Ayer will explain how Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are used in 1031 exchanges, including:
- Addressing common misunderstandings about DSTs
- How DSTs differ from direct property ownership
- Examples of current DST investment offerings
This discussion will focus on education and structure, not recommendations.
What This Event Is — and Is Not
This is:
- An educational discussion, not a sales presentation
- A small-group, invite-only event
- A forum for learning, not pressure or pitching
There is no obligation to invest, exchange, or take action.
