DST Cash Flow & Yield
Estimate the income a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment might generate at a given distribution rate. Distributions are not guaranteed.
How this is calculated
Annual distribution = investment amount × the annual distribution rate. Monthly distribution divides that by twelve. The distribution rate is set by each offering and reflects projected rental income; it is not a guaranteed return and does not include potential appreciation or return of capital.
Notes & assumptions
- Distribution rates are projections set by the sponsor, not guarantees.
- Distributions may include a return of capital, which affects your basis.
- This tool excludes appreciation, fees beyond the offering, and taxes.
Frequently asked questions
Is a DST distribution guaranteed?
No. Distributions depend on the performance of the underlying real estate and can be reduced or suspended. The rate shown in an offering is a projection.
What is a typical DST distribution rate?
Rates vary widely by property type and leverage. Compare each offering's projected rate against its risks; do not rely on a single number.
Are DST distributions taxable?
Distributions are generally taxable income, though depreciation can shelter part of them. A return-of-capital portion reduces your basis. Consult your CPA.
