Start the Washington, DC 1031 exchange with the reason for selling.
Whether the property is located in Washington, Bethesda, and Arlington or the replacement search extends beyond Washington, DC, the exchange should be built around assets that fit the owner rather than a deadline-driven purchase.
Use the Washington, DC selling decision to shape the replacement criteria.
Tenant demands, deferred capital work, partner objectives, retirement, inherited ownership, concentration, and a desire for steadier management can lead to very different replacement choices in Washington, DC.
Coordinate the Washington, DC sale plan through replacement closing.

| Decision | Direct Property | Net-Lease Property | DST Interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | The owner directs leasing, financing, improvements, and disposition. | The owner controls the real estate subject to the tenant and lease. | The sponsor controls the trust and the property. |
| Management | The owner or a hired manager operates the asset. | The lease assigns specified obligations to the tenant. | Professional management removes day-to-day landlord decisions. |
| Liquidity | Liquidity generally requires a property sale or refinance. | Liquidity depends on a future sale, refinance, tenant, and lease market. | Private-placement interests are generally illiquid and transfer-restricted. |
| Primary Review | Title, leases, condition, operations, market, financing, and closing feasibility. | Tenant, guaranty, lease terms, property condition, residual value, and reletting market. | Offering documents, sponsor, fees, conflicts, leverage, property risks, and suitability. |
