At our December DIG Philly meeting, Fred Hubler explained what he looks for in every investment: "Legal, ethical, moral unfair advantages. That's it. I don't care if it's real estate, I don't care what it is, as long as it's legal, ethical, moral."
At our December DIG Philly meeting, Fred Hubler dropped a truth bomb about 1031 exchange timing: "Here's the IRS rule: you have 45 days to identify. I'm here to tell you how life works, at least in my world. Only the crappy DSTs are alive for 45 days."
At our December DIG Philly meeting, Fred Hubler said something that real estate agents might not want their clients to hear: "The one I'm personally in [the value-add DST], this is one benefit that you might not want to tell any of your investors because I don't want to take your business."

The $50,000 Problem: How DSTs Save Your Entire 1031 Exchange At our December DIG Philly meeting, Fred Hubler revealed two critical insights about DST investing: First, some DSTs hold diversified portfolios of essential-income properties that didn't miss a single payment even during COVID. Second, DSTs can solve the "leftover equity" problem that kills countless 1031 exchanges—even with as little as $50,000.
When 18 Properties Become One Decision: Simplifying Your Real Estate Empire with DSTs At our December DIG Philly meeting, Fred Hubler described the perfect candidate for DST investing: someone drowning in complexity who wants institutional quality without the headaches. If you've spent decades building a real estate portfolio and now manage it across multiple entities with mounting capital expenditures, this might be your exit strategy.
At our December DIG Philly meeting, Fred Hubler revealed something most investors don't know: You can invest cash directly into Delaware Statutory Trusts—no 1031 exchange required. And for doctors, high earners, and anyone with $100,000 who wants real estate exposure, this changes everything.
