Answer
What if I can't find a replacement in 45 days?
DSTs (Delaware Statutory Trusts) and NNN properties are the standard backstops. Both count as identified replacement property under §1031 and can close inside the 180-day window with minimal underwriting friction. We keep pre-vetted DST options ready so no client accidentally busts a 45-day clock.
DSTs 101
Fractional interests in institutional-grade real estate. You buy a $500K–$5M+ slice of a large multifamily, industrial, or medical asset. Fully passive. Minimum ~$100K per position.
NNN properties
Single-tenant retail or industrial with long leases (10–20 years) and the tenant paying taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Truly passive, lower yield than multifamily, but fits the 1031 clock reliably.
Local context
This answer reflects how deals actually trade in Cameron Samimi's core coverage area: the South Bay (Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hawthorne, Lawndale, Gardena, El Segundo), Long Beach (Alamitos Beach, Belmont Heights, Wrigley, Bixby Knolls, Downtown), and Westside LA. Pricing, rent regulation, and buyer depth differ materially between these submarkets — verify the specifics for your property before acting.
