Debt-Free, 83-Unit San Antonio Build-to-Rent Community Offers Investors the Potential for Inflation-Resistant Cash Flow and 721 Exchange Optionality

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kay Properties & Investments, a leading national real estate wealth management firm specializing in Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) 1031 exchange offerings, today announced the addition of the "Texas Build-to-Rent 97 DST", a Regulation D Rule 506c offering, to its exclusive online marketplace. This newly constructed 83-unit single-family rental community in San Antonio, Texas, acquired entirely free of debt, presents accredited investors with a potentially compelling opportunity to participate in a unique residential asset class.

According to Dwight Kay, CEO and Founder of Kay Properties, this unique asset was purchased by the DST sponsor company as a Delaware Statutory Trust offering for 1031 exchange and direct cash investors.

A Trophy Asset with Strong Fundamentals
Completed in 2024, the brand-new Build-to-Rent 97 DST features a Class A residential rental community, offering high-end amenities as a lazy river and resort style pool. With an average unit size of 1,861 square feet leasing at $1.28/sq. ft., the property has the potential for rental upside as leases roll over in the coming months. In addition, its located in a prime San Antonio location near major employers and top-rated schools further driving long-term demand potential.

The New Build-to-Rent 97 DST Offering Features the Following Potential Benefits

• Debt-Free Acquisition:
  
  Because the asset was acquired without debt, the sponsor firm was able to purchase the asset below appraised value.
  
  
• Sponsor Co-Investment:
  
  The sponsors principals are co-investing alongside DST investors demonstrating the sponsors belief in the offering.
  
  
• Potential Inflation Hedge:
  
  Like all multifamily residential assets, this Build-to-Rent offering has the potential for annual rent rate increases, creating the opportunity for Net Operating Income growth potential and a way to potentially help offset inflationary pressures.
  
  
• Fully Optional 721 UPREIT Exit:
  
  This Build-to-Rent 97 DST offering provides investors the possibility of using a fully optional 721 exchange rollup exit strategy. Because this conversion is discretionary, it allows investors the opportunity to evaluate key UPREIT terms.

Why Build-to-Rent?
According to Kay, the Build-to-Rent (BTR) model has become increasingly popular as homeownership becomes more difficult for young families to attain due to rising prices and high interest rates. As a result, the single-family home rental option is becoming an attractive option to not only young families but also empty nesters.

"The BTR concept is quickly being embraced by renters and investors. For renters, they like the idea of renting a single-family home in a new housing community and having the privacy and space not typically seen in an apartment community. On the other hand, investors like the BTR model because typical residents at BTR communities have a much longer tenure at BTR properties than a typical apartment community.  This potentially lowers unit turnover and maintenance costs which often means more of the rental income potential is able to drop to the investors bottom line," said Kay.
