What
investors should know about DPM Self Storage

DPM Self Storage is known for sponsoring Delaware Statutory Trust
(DST) 1031 exchange offerings. DSTs allow investors to defer
capital-gains taxes by exchanging sold real estate into a beneficial
interest in a trust that owns replacement property. The structure is
passive, but it also means investors give up management control and
depend heavily on the sponsor.

Common
risks in DST investments sponsored by DPM Self Storage

Risk Why it matters
Illiquidity DST interests are not publicly traded and may have no meaningful
secondary market
Sponsor dependence Investors cannot vote, refinance, or direct management
decisions
Long holding period Many DSTs are structured for 5–10 year holds with limited exit
options
Distribution suspension Cash flow problems can cause distributions to stop without investor
consent
Debt and refinancing risk Property-level debt decisions are controlled by the sponsor

Did your
broker recommend a DST sponsored by DPM Self Storage?

If your broker or financial advisor recommended a DST sponsored by DPM Self Storage that lost money, suspended distributions, or was otherwise
unsuitable, you may have a claim. Broker-dealers must conduct reasonable
due diligence under FINRA Rule 2111 and FINRA Regulatory Notice 10-22
before recommending private placements such as DSTs. They must also make
sure the recommendation fits the customer’s investment profile.

Common failures include:

  • recommending an illiquid DST to an investor who needed access to
    capital;
  • failing to disclose the risks of the specific sponsor or
    property;
  • relying on optimistic projections without independent
    verification;
  • not explaining the fees, dealer concessions, or conflicts of
    interest.

What
to do if you have concerns about a DST sponsored by DPM Self Storage

Investors who believe they were misled or placed in an unsuitable DST sponsored by DPM
Self Storage should gather their brokerage statements, subscription
agreements, private placement memoranda, and correspondence with the
broker. A securities attorney can review those documents to identify
whether the recommendation was suitable and whether the broker-dealer
met its due diligence obligations.
