I recently had a pleasure of working with Tommy Olsen from Kay Properties, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Tom guided me through the often complex world of real estate investment (specifically for first time 1031 exchange client) with patience, professionalism and expertise.

Overall, my experience with Mr. Olsen and Kay Properties was exceptional. He not only facilitated my investment but also equipped me with the knowledge I needed for future opportunities. I highly recommend Kay Properties to anyone looking to dive into real estate investing.Roman C. – Rhinelander, WI

I recently completed a 1031 exchange, and I couldn't be happier with the process. Tommy Olsen and KAY Properties made everything seamless and stress-free. They spent hours detailing what can seem like a complicated process and explained it in a way that I was able to understand. They walked me through every option and what makes the most sense for my current tax and financial situation.  Their expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout, and I felt supported and informed every step of the way.

I highly recommend KAY Properties to anyone considering a 1031 exchange!Patrick C. – Dublin, OH

I wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for all of your assistance with our (DST Rollover 1031) transaction. Thanks to your guidance, everything went smoothly with the transaction, and we have received our first distribution...Rick & Carol M. – Harris County, TX

It was great to have a Senior vice President take an interest in my small account. You answered all my questions, texted quickly, and made sure all the parties worked together.Vicki I. – Salt Lake City, UT

I very much appreciated several things about working with Tommy and Orrin through this process.  Their accessibility was superb!  Very responsive to questions I had.  Very reachable...  They were able to define terms and procedures that I was not familiar with and were very helpful throughout the process.  Not only were they helpful, but they consistently demonstrated a friendly and helpful attitude.  Very good communication.  I feel lucky in my choice to work with Kay Properties and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.Jerry R. – Santa Rosa, CA

It was great working with Tommy at Kay Properties for my DST 1031 exchange. He possesses extensive knowledge about various commercial properties and adeptly articulates the advantages and disadvantages of each in a clear and concise manner. Communication with him was seamless; he was very responsive and proactively reached out when an investment that fit my criteria was available. I would highly recommend him to others.Peter B. – Alameda, CA

Tommy,

From the outset Kay properties was able to identify a clever two property solution to our limited DST investment options.

Kay provided great service with quick follow-up for all our many questions, during our due diligence phase.

Kay provided timely, almost daily updates as we crossed the 45 day window, and throughout both closings. Kay was there every step of the way.Michael & Marta, Y – Carlsbad, CA

Making the decision to sell our building where we operated our family furniture store out of for 40 years was hard enough. Finding a replacement property while operating a store closing sale and relocating was very stressful to say the least. With my identification deadline rapidly approaching, Jason Salmon from KPI was there every step of the way with great advice and confidence that our exchange would be accomplished on time. I would recommend to anyone considering a DST to utilize Jason’s knowledge and expertise in this area. I can’t think of anyone that works harder, more diligently and is more readily available than Jason. It was a great experience dealing with him and I honestly can’t thank him enough. Steve S. – Brooklyn, NY

Over the last year I have worked on two net lease deals (DSTs) with the Kay Properties Team- Keith Cawley, Betty Friant, and Chay Lapin. The Kay Team was helpful in getting me the information that I needed in order to make an informed decision, helped with the evaluation of available opportunities and ultimately made the purchase/transition process very simple. Now that my investments are in “motion”, I am enjoying the projected returns... I have recommended Kay Properties to other associates that are also “tired landlords” and I continue to recommend them to anyone that is looking for passive investing opportunities. Kenn I. – Charlotte, NC

It was a pleasure working with your staff, especially Nick. I appreciate all their assistance in helping me finalizing my 1031 transactions.Steve G. – Hollywood, CA

Definitely happy so far with the two DSTs we are in with you guys. ... never had a chance to tell you how pleasurable it was to work with the team. Super patient with me and a big part of the reason we went with Kay vs others.Todd U. – San Diego, CA

Dear Dwight & Kay Properties I would like to extend my appreciation to you and your team for all of your help and assistance these past many months. Thank God, all told, we were able to direct 3 separate investments through your Firm... As someone who provides business advisory for a living and a former practicing CPA, I count it rare to encounter an organization that does everything so well. ... everything was top notch.Ken – Orange County, CA

A GREAT company! We’ve made a dozen 1031 Delaware Statutory Trust exchanges with Kay during the last 4 years and every one was handled flawlessly. The entire staff is responsive, engaging, informative and helpful. Their property analysis is top notch. Kay is our go to company for DST trading!David N. – Middletown, RI


As a newcomer to the world of 1031 exchanges, it was reassuring to work with the professionals at Kay Properties. Alex Madden really took the time to educate me about my options, and he truly listened to learn about my investment goals and risk tolerance. I would have no trouble recommending KPI to my friends and business associates.John D. – Lexington, MA

Alex Madden and Chay Lapin recently assisted us with the purchase of six DSTs to complete our 1031 exchange. Alex and Chay are patient, knowledgeable, diligent, and extremely well-versed in the pros and cons of investing in DTSs and always answered our questions with concise, clear answers. DSTs are a new investment vehicle for us and we needed a bit of hand-holding from Alex and Chay, and they came through like champions. We would invest again with Kay Properties, as it has shown itself to be one of the top DST firms in the country, bolstered in great part by the dedicated efforts of outstanding employees such as Alex Madden and Chay Lapin.Wendy I. – Topanga, CA

Recently I used the services of Kay Properties for a 1031 exchange into four DST'S. Betty Friant and Alex Madden guided me through these transactions. I was impressed with their professionalism and ease of the transactions. I felt very comfortable working with them. I will be doing business with them in the future.Tommy M. – Arlington, VA

I would like to thank Alex Madden and Betty Friant of Kay Properties & Investment for guiding and supporting us during our first 1031 exchange. They have been very patient throughout the process as we did not know anything at first. We feel comfortable working with both of you and would not hesitate for a minute to invest again with Kay Properties and recommend you. Thank you for all your support!Maritza F. – Hialeah, FL

I knew about DST’s but was unfamiliar with the details and how to go about investing in them. I found Kay properties and Betty Friant through some referrals. My son is in the financial business so I asked Betty to include him in our zoom meetings and all correspondence, which she happily did. She took all the time necessary, over a series of Zoom meetings, to explain and educate us both to the DST process and availability of properties to the point where we understood them enough to make decisions on which properties in which to invest. Alex Madden took over the day to day communications and assisting us with our final property selections. During this period we made a few changes in the amounts and properties we were interested in and Alex was very cooperative and patient during this part of the process. In the end we invested in 9 DST properties and were able to complete everything within our 1031 exchange 45 day period. I would gladly recommend Kay properties, Betty and Alex to anyone.John X. – Ponte Garde, FL

Everyone at Kay Properties is professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Every expectation has been met. No one oversells. I consider Betty and Alex as friends who have my best interest in mind. Will be doing more business with Kay again when I can.D.A. – Anne Arundel County, Maryland

I want to give a shout out to any prospective Kay Properties investors. Kay Properties group demonstrated a personalized touch with my financial goals in mind. I worked with Tommy as my investment advisor and he really took time to listen to my needs, and was attentive and sensitive toward my investment goals. He was patient, and addressed all of my questions promptly and with great patience. After completing my transaction, I received a thank you gift box which was a surprise and I thank you for that but totally unnecessary. If you have any doubts about working with and investing in this group, put your worries aside. Your advisor will certainly answer any questions, address any concerns you may have. She/he will recommend and guide you through this process with expertise, professionalism, and with a strong personalized focus on attempting to meet your financial goals. I am so appreciative of Tommy's hard work and dedication. Also, I want to thank Kay Properties Leadership groups and support staff for all you do. You guys are fantastic!. Again, thank you so much.Carl M. – Sacramento, CA

My experience working with Kay Properties was very smooth. Both Tommy and Abraham provided frequent status updates of available properties. They listened to my goals and objectives. I was provided many portfolio examples for diversification with explanations pertinent to those recommendations. I appreciated their responsiveness, knowledge and patience in being able to explain this investment avenue which was unfamiliar to me. Thank you Tommy and Abraham!Terri C. – San Diego, CA

In regard to my experience working with Tommy Olsen of Kay Properties: I am very pleased with my recent experience in working with Tommy Olsen and Kay Properties. This was my first time doing a 1031 exchange, so I really needed a lot of help and guidance, and I received a tremendous amount of both in going through the educational process with Tommy. He was so patient and generous with his time in helping me through the decision making process. He referred me to a great Qualified Intermediary, who also did a wonderful job in that role. Everything went very smoothly, and I look forward to receiving the projected returns from the DSTs that were exchanged into. I even received communication from Chay Lapin, president of Kay Properties, also extending an offer of help or to answer any questions, but Tommy was doing such a great job that I never felt the need to return Mr. Lapin's call. Thank you Tommy Olsen and Kay Properties!Barbara U. – Rancho Cucamonga, CA

I completed a 1031 this year with Kay Properties. Tommy Olsen assisted me through the entire process and answered any questions quickly and thoroughly. He was very patient and helped me understand all of the details required to complete and close on the properties. I recommend Kay Properties to anyone interested in doing a 1031 exchange and putting your properties proceeds to work for you.Rich M. – Redondo Beach, CA


I invested with Kay properties after the sale of my rental property. I appreciate Keith Cawley so much for walking me through the steps and helping with my DST education. Keith was so easy to work with and I thank him so very much. I just received my first checks and want to thank Keith and his team!! Thanks a bunch, Keith!!!Barbara C. – Hillsboro, OR

Kay Properties, and especially Nick Snyder, have been especially helpful in our 1031 transactions. Nick has gone "above and beyond" in helping us keep all of our deals "on track".William E. – Jackson Township, NJ

Thanks for your outstanding customer service and your dedicated team full support during the course of investigation. It was nice that your team worked with my 1031 exchange and they were able to process the fund with no problem. I attended 2 of the educational online sessions and they helped me considerably. Aziz B. – Chandler, AZ

Dear Orrin and Betty, Having now purchased eight separate DST 1031 Exchange properties with guidance from you both, I would like to take a minute to recognize your professionalism and expertise in the DST market. The material provided by Kay Properties for the diverse properties in my portfolio was inclusive of the material facts I wanted and your expert advice in the marketplace gave me confidence and assurance to move forward with the replacement properties that represent a sizable piece of my retirement portfolio. Thank you again for making the transition from my personally managed rental property portfolio into DST Properties seamless and profitable.Bill W. – Jacksonville, FL

We appreciate... the very excellent attention and investment care we have received from your Company. We particularly appreciate our contact person Orrin Barrow and also the staff members associated with the various Transactions of this past year.Burleigh M. – Gorham, ME

Like many individual real estate investors, I owned , managed (both directly & through property managers) and dealt with all the issues it entailed. Working with Kay properties has been a pleasure and exceeded my expectations. The most important aspect of the relationship is that Kay properties is a reputable firm and only works with reputable firms. Their customer service is excellent and I will never work with anyone else.Leon B. – Del Mar, CA

I have been working with Betty and Matt at Kay Properties for about two and a half years and I cannot say enough about my experience. I spoke to several companies when I first considered doing a 1031 exchange into a DST and ultimately chose Kay Properties. Betty and Matt were extremely patient when I made my first purchase. Since that time I have made multiple purchases and they have been there every step of the way each time to advise me and make sure the process went smoothly. I feel like I am in very good hands. DSTs have proven to be a great product for me as I transition away from wanting to actively manage rental properties. I am already gone one full cycle with two DST and again Betty and Matt were there to provide the support I needed. I have no doubt I will continue to work with Kay Properties in the years to come.Lea V. – Lakewood, OH

Hey Matthew, Just wanted to let you know how extremely professional you are, such incredible response time, so completely thorough and fast whenever I have any concerns and questions....you are an absolute delight to work with and many thanks to you! 46 years with a large painting contracting business and I rarely came across anyone as professional as you are.....this is totally unsolicited and please feel free to pass it on if you care too! Rich E. – Nevada City, CA

Betty Friant is a most wonderful part of Kay Properties and Investments. Being new to this type of investing, Betty has made me comfortable with the properties. She is a great communicator who always responds quickly and very knowledgeably to all questions going well beyond typical support. Through the support of Betty and Orin Barron at Kay Properties and Investments I completed my second 1031 DST purchase last spring after a most successful end to the first. I could not be more pleased and recommend to all.Bill I. – Newport, RI

Working with Kay Properties has always met my expectations. Alex Madden, like Betty Friant, is very well suited for his role. Good listener. Very knowledgeable. Trustworthy. Presents accurate information. I have recommended Kay to numerous friends who inquire “what are you doing with your real estate these days. I have reinvested on two separate occasions after the 1st time and I will plan to do so again when the current properties mature and are sold. David A. – Severna Park, MD


We are writing this letter to recommend Dwight Kay and his firm Kay Properties. Dwight did an excellent job finding the right properties to 1031 exchange into for us. He was always available and prompt to answer our questions or concerns which was as important to us as the actual investment (one exception, he was at a soccer game with his kids on a Saturday and asked if he could call me on Monday). His research and homework on the investment vehicles he proposed for us were spot on and met all of our criteria. When the smoke cleared he was also there to make sure we were satisfied with the whole process along with working with our facilitator/exchanger. We have no reservations recommending Dwight to commercial real estate investors. We will certainly use him in the future. Howard F. – Bonsall, CA

Chay Lapin was an invaluable resource for me as he helped me work through my recent exchange. He was very accessible and worked hard to find just the right replacement property to meet my needs. He also had technology that made finding the right match to my set of unique numbers, so much easier. I would recommend him to anyone with this particular need. Vera D. – Palo Alto, CA

"I contacted Kay Properties to help me with re-investing funds from a 1031 exchange. I had been looking unsuccessfully for a replacement property, and was running out of time when I learned about DSTs. When I called Kay Properties, I was connected with Jason Salmon, who quickly helped me navigate through the DST process and get me comfortable with this type of investment. Since I had not heard of DSTs previously, I had many questions. Jason answered all my questions, gave me examples of various scenarios and phrased things in a way that I understood. Jason listened to my investment goals and gave me options that met my investment criteria. Also, since I was under the clock, Jason was extremely responsive. I can't thank Jason enough for helping me through this process and helping me achieve my investment goals. Thank you Jason!" Laura G. – New Albany, OH

Please let it be known I did a DST exchange with Kay Properties and Investments represented by Betty Friant. In this lifetime I consider myself very fortunate to have met a Betty Friant, she was not only knowledgeable and helpful but got us all the information we would need to make a decision… She immediately made an appointment to come to the Boston area and meet my sons and I at our office and answer any and all the questions we may have and gave us a variety of DST investments myself being a hands on Real Estate Landlord the majority of my life, I have never considered this type of investment exchange. I just completed a 1031 exchange on the selling side and thought I could find another suitable investment , but being in a high market area the DST exchange became an alternative. Betty Friant was not only knowledgeable but made us feel confident we had the real deal with her and her company, she guided us through the entire transaction giving us alternatives that we could choose and to this day she keeps in touch with our investment as a professional. I personally do not think I could have moved forward without a Betty Friant. I would recommend Betty and her associates if you are looking for alternatives and moving out of the day to day ownership of Real Estate. It has been everything she stated it would be and I feel fortunate to have done this business transaction with her leading the way. Brian C. – Boston, MA

I have worked with many commercial real estate professionals but Dwight is by far the best. He is the most knowledgeable and energetic person in the business I know. He is always available to answer questions or concerns about anything and do it quickly. I would recommend him to anyone who wants investment advice in real estate. Steve D. – Rolling Hills Estates, CA

Tim (Emmanuel at Kay Properties) was fantastic. He addressed all of my concerns and questions answering phone calls even if he was out of the office. He sent me articles to read & videos to watch regarding 1031 exchanges & 721 REITs. He explained to me who Kay Properties was & how they worked, what they're business objectives were... He pursued my interest in making these investments- it was over a six month period that I talked with Tim before investing. He was never pushy or urgent about the matter. Because of my workload I had to push aside my pursuit to invest but he would always call or email me after a month or two. I thought for sure he would drop me. He & Sana (Kay Properties transactions team) assisted me in getting my paperwork in... Answering any questions that I had & giving me educational materials to read. The one-on-one relationship with Tim allowed me to get a feel for the integrity & trustworthiness of both him & Kay Properties... Donna I. – St. Ignace, MI

Matt was great. Honest.
Good to discuss ideas and options.David R. – Los Angeles, CA

Kay Properties Team--Kudos to you! It's been a pleasure to effectively communicate/coordinate with you... I find it delightfully pleasant that you are readily accessible. And the one virtue I particularly cherish and appreciate is your timely responsiveness - a style amazingly similar to Dwight's. From a client's perspective, it's a virtue that can make or break an affiliation - 'cause it shows that you care and that you have clients' interest in mind. Much appreciated! Thanks to you all. David M. – Las Vegas, NV

Doing my first 1031 exchange was a daunting task. I needed professional guidance throughout the whole process. I consider myself lucky to have found Kay Properties offering a variety of DST options. I worked with Matthew McFarland who provided exceptional service. He was a consummate professional answering all my questions great and small. Matt would calmly explain all details and proceed to ensure all procedures were timely completed. When I had questions or concerns, Matt would promptly return my calls or emails, even during weekends. He provided professional expertise, and with no less importance, Matt treated me with dignity and tireless patience as if I were an old friend of his. I am a well satisfied investor. Thank you Kay Properties and bless you, Matt McFarland James Z. – Fremont, CA


I’ve really enjoyed working with Orrin and Chay. They have a tremendous knowledge of all the intricacies of 1031 exchanges and are able to recommend high quality properties to invest in. I feel as though they do a great job reviewing and evaluating different options before they present them to me. Bruce G. – Manhattan Beach, CA

KPI (Alex Madden & team) is helping us maintain long term cash flow that supplies the needs of a business that traditionally depends on farming production. David T. – Humboldt County, CA

Dear Chay and Matt: I want to say thank you to you guys for many things. From the first time I reached out to you asking about properties and how to make some of the 1031 Exchange decisions, both of you were helpful, patient and very informative. As we got into the transaction and had to deal with debt service ratios, again you both were informative, patient and willing to work with a client that lacked awareness of “matching the same debt service ratios”. In the end, I am very pleased with the investment that I made with your support and answering of questions about the property. To top off a good story, I appreciate the thank you gift that was sent this week. It was not expected and I did not realize that people/companies still said thank you in meaningful ways. Thank you for all that you guys have done and I have no problem recommending you guys to anyone seeking a 1031 Exchange property. Steve O. – Las Vegas, NV

Since 2008, I’ve gotten into 3 deals (all quite different) through Dwight. All are performing at or better than expectation… Not only does Dwight find and pitch successful deals and reliable sponsors, he is foremost a knowledgeable client advocate… With Dwight no question is too dumb. If he doesn’t have the answer, he‘ll research the answer or find someone who has the answer. And, it will be an honest answer. I believe Dwight is here for the long term. He’s not one to sell you something then is gone. He’s kept abreast on what he’s sold me. I’m preparing to do a 1031. Dwight is my go to guy. Doug M. – Orange County, CA

I just wanted to thank Jason Salmon for helping me through the process of using the proceeds from my 1031 tax exchanges to purchase a diversified portfolio of DST properties. I have never dealt with anyone in this business or any business for that matter who has been so responsive. It is a breath of fresh air to have someone who I can call to talk with regarding the pros and cons of different properties. Jason is incredibly knowledgeable in the field of commercial real estate investing and explains difficult concepts extremely well. I have a high level of confidence in Jason and now I also have a lovely monthly income stream which replaces the late paying and home wrecking tenants I used to have. Beth N. – Pompano Beach, FL

My name is Bob and I just want to say that I am super happy with the opportunity Kay Properties has provided me with the chance to invest in their projects. They are so professional, experienced, and patient, which gives me much confidence to invest with them. Hereby I want to thank Matthew and Chay for their professional skill. I will recommend my friends to join their seminars, as I have confidence about Kay Properties’ projects. Bob U. – Glendora, CA

Purchasing DSTs through Kay Properties especially with Betty Friant is an enjoyable business process. I told Betty the type properties in which I wanted to invest and from: identification, to selection to closing on the properties she provided timely updates on each step in the purchase and followed up even after the sale was complete. I can highly recommend Kay Properties and Betty Friant. Thank you for your assistance and professionalism. Bill N. – Skipwith, VA

I want you to know that in our recent Kay Property DST acquisitions, your V.P. Betty Friant took the time to introduce these very concepts to us as we compared the various offerings. It really made a difference on the selections we made. We had first approached some other DST brokers who it turns out were less than forthcoming about the risks and pitfalls of questionable DST's. It was through my daughter's independent research that we learned of your company. (She has a Masters in Accountancy from Bentley). My daughter discovered red flags with some of the brokers we had been talking to in time to look for a better source. She discovered Kay Properties, also suggested as a reputable source by our Intermediary. Fortunately for us, Betty Friant and her associate Alex Madden took the time to explain the risks and rewards of DST's, and covered the very things you mentioned in your note. We are pretty careful and conservative, and we were not looking for unrealistic high income. Betty really educated us on the risks of highly leveraged properties, and this knowledge helped us to avoid them when possible, given our particular situation and goals. She also warned about sponsors who pay too much for their properties. Had we gone with one of our previous DST contacts, we would have made a bad decision now that we understand those issues. Paying unrealistic prices for properties and highly leveraging them undermines their real value, and without knowledge, higher stated returns can be misleading. We are pretty much set for now, having completed our 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes on our sale. Betty and Alex worked tirelessly with my family using video conferences and very detailed but easy to understand charts and spreadsheets. I recently sent Betty and Alex an email expressing our complete satisfaction and appreciation for their assistance. They helped us through a stressful and challenging time as I sold my real estate assets in Cambridge Massachusetts after the student rental market crashed. After putting my real estate assets up for sale, thanks to Betty and Alex, we were able to identify suitable DST's even before the IRSs' 45-day clock began at the closing. We also managed to achieve a well-balanced portfolio across industry and geographic sectors, something we had hoped for. I should mention that from my perspective, Betty and Alex are real experts. They are very knowledgeable, articulate, and tactful. They are able to work with customers like me who begin overwhelmed with the whole 1031 process, guide us along, until we are comfortable and ready to buy. They were extremely patient with us, never failing to answer our questions as they guided us over the months.George E. – Columbia, MD

Chay… Your company was a good company to work with. I really liked how you or Orrin always were quick to get back to me when I had a question. I also liked how fast everything was done. Thanks again… Lynda R. – Vernal, UT

Jason Salmon was extremely helpful and as knowledgeable in 1031/DST regulations as anyone I have spoken with. He helped us orchestrate investments with a combination of multifamily properties and net lease real estate. To date all of the investments have performed exactly as projected. Jason continues to be the only resource we need, answering questions and facilitating all of our needs as they arise. Ron C. – Leemore, CA

Hi, Betty: Thanks for all the help and guidance into the world of the Delaware Statutory Trust. The assistance helped me make decisions which will affect my legacy for my children,and my philanthropy for the years to come. Thanks to you and Orrin, I didn't wind up with just one Pizza Hut ,but with some real estate which might fuel some of my larger dreams. The education is invaluable. I hope to see you more frequently. Dr. Paul E. – Washington D.C.

We also like to thank Chay (and) Matt for making the DST purchase process smooth and fast for us. We are so impressed with the volume of available investments, level of professionalism and communication from everyone at Kay Properties. We're very happy to have found Kay Properties to assist us in this exchange! Have a great day!Felicity J. – South Lake Tahoe, CA

In 2017, I found myself selling a 100 unit multifamily building in New York City. My accountant and attorney did not have 1031 experience. Jason (Salmon) was my educator and guide to invest almost all the money in DSTs. WOW, what a difference in my life and income. We have more income, we diversified. We have had some early sales and collected a premium, then did another exchange. Without Jason I never could have dragged my 'advisors' into thinking this was a great move. Jason knows what he is doing. I spoke to other exchange experts, they did not hold a candle to Jason. If you want experts, call Kay Properties and ask for Jason. G. R. – Westerly, RI

Matt was great. Honest.
Good to discuss ideas and options.David R. – Los Angeles, CA

I first met Betty in 2001, when she was selling net leased properties. She represented me in the purchase of two Pizza Hut restaurants, which I still own today. We have been working together ever since and in 2018, I made my first investment in a DST through Betty and Kay Properties. Betty has been a great resource for me and she is the first person I call when looking for real estate investments.Edmund D. – Washington, DC

With my 1031 exchange from an apartment building in Long Beach, CA into 4 DST properties Matthew took the lead. With guidance by Chay, when needed... Matthew was always very responsive and resourceful. And easily accessible! There were lots of changes with regard to what I wanted to exchange into and, due to long delays in escrow, which lasted almost 6 months, what was available when the sale closed was not at all what I had chosen early in the process. Nevertheless in the end it all worked out quite well because of all the options Matthew provided and walked me through. I am happy with the result and confident regarding the performance of my DST investments going forward. What is important for me and what became very import with my transactions is that the people at Kay Properties, especially Matthew, were always there and helping me to get where I wanted to go. I took on all the debt that I had to replace with just one DST and the rest, which was the bulk of the proceeds, was invested in three debt-free DST’s.... I think every 1031 exchange investor should listen to what they say at Kay Properties with regard to debt-free DST’s. I love being debt free on 3 DST’s and glad that on the fourth one the loan is non-recourse. I think, at least for me, the outcome of doing my 1031 exchange into four DST’s with Kay Properties and Matthew as my main contact person and guide, is far superior to having exchanged into one NNN property, which I would have done had I not found Kay Properties. M.J. – Long Beach, CA

Betty assisted me with my first DST purchase. One of the VPs at Inland Investments referred me to her because I asked for a DST rep who is honest, detail oriented and able to walk me thru the process patiently. Betty was everything I was looking for and much more. A few more of her other high qualities are: She is a great listener, always make time to answer any question I had, extremely knowledgeable and professional. She made the process pleasant and easy for me. Thank you, Betty! Sincerely Mandana – Denver, CO

Betty Friant was instrumental in patiently walking us through the DST process. With her knowledge and guidance we felt confident to make the switch from individual brick and mortar ownership to DST investments. We would highly recommend Betty if you are considering a 1031 exchange. Bob X. – Hickory, NC

This was my first run at a 1031 exchange and Betty did an excellent job of explaining how it works and what to look for in the process. I am about to sell a second rental property and will again be working with Betty on another DST 1031 exchange." Gary E. – Omaha NE

Betty Friant with Kay Properties provided me with exceptional tutelage on the complete 1031 and DST exchange process… Thanks Kay Properties, I’ll be back! Peter C. – Port Deposit, MD

DST’s are a great investment vehicle to monetize your real estate assets. I like the flexibility to be able to diversify by product type and geographic location. Kay Properties, and Betty Friant in particular, have been excellent to work with. Efficient, knowledgeable, and responsive! William E. – Spartanburg, SC

Matthew McFarland was a pleasure to work with, and I would be grateful to work with him again in the future. Matt takes the time to thoroughly explain all of the intricacies of the DST investment options available, has a breadth of knowledge and cares that his customers are in a position to make a well informed decision. I plan to refer others to Matt who are interested in exploring DST options for their 1031 exchange. Matt B. – Seattle, WA

To Dwight, Tommy and all the KPI staff,
Thank you so much for your patient and experienced help in walking me through completion of my 1031 Exchange! ...I appreciate you.
Thank you so much! Linda B. – San Pedro, CA

A big “Thank You” for the professionalism and efficiency of the whole KPI team for handling my 1031 exchange. Especially thank you to Matt McFarland, who patiently explained the process of a 1031 exchange as well as answered every phone call and email in a timely matter, explanations that allowed me to make informed decisions—not only was the process handled professionally, but I almost felt as if I were “family” and as such he had wanted the very best for me. Else E. – Shell Beach, CA

My wife and I were new to the 1031 exchange market... we were very professionally assisted in a 1031 exchange into 4 DST properties by the Kay Properties Team. We actually met the team at an information dinner where all my questions were answered and I was able to meet other Kay Properties investors. We are very pleased with Dwight Kay. John B. – San Diego, CA

KPI was a real pleasure to work with. Patiently walking my husband and myself through an area of real estate investing which was new to us. Their professionalism and knowledge in answering our endless questions provided us with the information necessary to move forward with the DST investment. Kay Properties truly cares about their clients. Steve truly cares about his clients. Margo L. – Edmonds, WA


My wife and I made a $750,000 investment in a DST with Kay last August. We are very pleased with the results. We would like to thank Matthew for educating and guiding two unsophisticated rookies through the process. At all times he was polite, patient and knowledgeable. We would recommend Kay and Matthew to anyone seeking help with a 1031 problem. Mike and Judy D. – Corpus Christi, TX

…Kay Properties has done a wonderful job on working every angle to get me the investments I now have. I have serval investments with Kay Properties and this is because of the outstanding work, the overall organization and the efficiency of work... I am really grateful for the help and support I have received over the years to get these investments.Bill J. – Northern California

This was my first time going through a 1031 exchange and I had no idea what to expect. Matt McFarland held my hand throughout the process and directed me to the replacement properties that I was comfortable with. Thanks for the seamless transfer of investment properties. Brodie I. – Fort Worth, TX

I want to “Thank you” both and your whole team that helped make my 1031 Exchange feel so seamless. I know a lot of hard work goes into transactions like this. Sherrie O. – South Pasadena, CA

We have done a lot of business over the years and will always do so. Your group is the premiere organization in the industry… Edward S. – California

Thank YOU so much.... Your professionalism and responsiveness have been stellar! I don’t think 5 minutes ever went by between when a question was asked of you and when you provided a thoughtful and complete answer.... It was a great pleasure working with you guys! Thanks again! G.I. – Summervile, SC

Betty was very knowledgeable and VERY patient with us. She handled all of our questions with ease and made us feel comfortable through the whole process. I highly recommend Betty and her (Kay Properties) team! Brian E. – Boston, MA

My experience working with Betty Friant, of Kay Properties & Investments LLC, was extremely easy and rewarding. She was very professional and responded quickly to any question I had about the properties I was considering purchasing. When I selected a DST to purchase, she set-up a conference call with the sponsor so I could ask specific questions. When it came to time to close the purchase, Betty made it extremely easy. My wife is now considering purchasing a DST and will only work with Betty. Bruce R. – Mammoth Lakes, CA

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Betty Friant. There was so much information to digest and Betty guided me through it all with expert advice. My 1031 exchange went smoothly and I have been pleased with the results. Even though we never met in person, I feel Betty has become my friend. Diane N. – Virginia Beach, VA

Betty Friant is a true professional. She was very helpful for a first time DST buyer and extremely responsive to my numerous questions and revisions to my investment plan. I would definitely work with her again! Rusty S. – Savannah, GA

Betty Friant did a tremendous job of assisting us with the DST process. With her wealth of experience, she was able to field all our questions and help us find the DST properties that suited us best. Rob D. – Maryland

I did business with Kay Properties on two occasion and found Betty Friant to be a straight shooter with very accurate product knowledge. She was very forthright in addressing my questions and concerns. I referred a friend and client to Kay to do a 1031 exchange. No problems and a perfect fit for his stage in life. I personally invested in a Tampa office DST and was very satisfied. Everything that was relayed to me happened. I would strongly recommend Kay and Betty Friant. Bob S. – Beaufort County, NC

It has been a pleasure working with Betty Friant at Kay Properties and Investments, LLC. With Betty’s educational guidance and willingness to be available for any questions, I was finally able to make the leap into the DST world. Having prior experience with 1031 exchanges, this was the easiest and most exciting transaction. Why? For starters, there are no toilets, tenants, and trash anxieties! After 33 years of dealing with property management challenges, I can let someone else with experience in higher end investments do the work and enjoy my monthly distributions. DST’s have also allowed me the opportunity to invest in commercial deals I would not be able to do on my own. In the end, I am grateful to Betty Friant for helping me avoid a huge tax consequence and educating me through various channels, especially with the client dinners. I successfully completed my1031 exchange into a diversified portfolio of DSTs. I now enjoy sharing my new acquired knowledge with other investors, who are tired of property management, but still love the passive income real estate offers. As the opportunity presents itself in selling any of my existing properties, I plan on investing in more DST’s.Akila O. – Montgomery County, MD

Dear Betty… How nice it was to have become your friend as the result of such a very successful business relationship in which you so meticulously guided us through our recent journey in buying three 1031 properties. Not only were you extremely knowledgeable about the process, you were very patient in spending time with us explaining it….including more than one visit to our home during non-business hours for our convenience. It was very evident that you cared about us and wanted to diligently look out for our interests. Betty Friant and Kay properties are a perfect choice if you like expert information and attentive service. I did my due diligence in checking into most of the top 1031 DST exchanges and Betty and Kay properties easily came out on top. Betty Friant answered my endless questions with patience and wisdom. Time has proven I made the right choice again and again. David C. – Howard County, MD

Betty Friant is a huge asset to Kay Properties and Investments. Being a novice at this type of investing, Betty has made me comfortable with the properties I have chosen to invest in. Communication is definitely her strong suit. Every phone call was answered or returned in a timely manor. Communication by email gets an immediate response. Often even after business hours. I hope to have a long and profitable relationship with Betty and Kay Properties. T. R. – McPherson, Kansas

I just had my first experience with investing in DSTs. Betty and Matt were very professional and gave great service. They steered me to good educational material and investment opportunities that fit my conservative 1031 reinvestment objectives. I am very pleased with the help they provided and look forward to working with them again. Randy E. – St. Louis County, MO

I would like to commend Matthew McFarland for his help during this entire process. He was always very informed, extremely attentive, and polite. It was a big investment decision for me and he always assured me all along the way with factual and honest responses to my questions and concerns. Chay Lapin was also helpful. Great teamwork! Bill U. – Louisville, KY

My wife and I have four DSTs purchased thru Kay. We are very satisfied with the service Kay provided during our purchase, and also the monthly returns we are getting… We have referred Kay to multiple friends, plus have another property that we contemplate using a 1031 into a DST. Larry N. – Florida

We are grateful to all of you for helping us get set up with the DSTs, and appreciate all of your knowledge and guidance in this process. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with you. Janet M. – San Diego, CA

Dear Chay and Matt: I want to say thank you to you guys for many things….From the first time I reached out to you asking about properties and how to make some of the 1031 Exchange decisions, both of you were helpful, patient and very informative…. In the end, I am very pleased with the investment that I made with your support and answering of questions about the property…. To top off a good story, I appreciate the thank you gift that was sent this week. It was not expected and I did not realize that people / companies still said thank you in meaningful ways. Thank you for all that you guys have done and I have no problem recommending you guys to anyone seeking a 1031 Exchange property.Steve R. – Henderson, NV

Thank you for making this all happen! We are happy customers!!!D. and S. B. – San Diego, CA

I am doing well and am happy with the DST’s I invested in with your company; the expertise you provide and the professionalism with which you operate your business. Rod T. – San Diego, CA

Dwight Kay is professional and highly knowledgeable. Dwight patiently educated and guided me to an informed decision leading to an easy, smooth, and successful 1031 Exchange DST purchase. Dwight will be my “go-to pro” for all my future exchanges. Rob L. – Chicago, IL

... Wanted to let you know that Tommy (at Kay Properties) was terrific. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. His explanations were concise and clear and he was generous with his time.Mark E. – San Diego, CA

I want to thank you for the amazing service you have provided in my 1031 DST purchase. I appreciate your patience with all our questions and quick response to every concern. It has been a pleasure to work with you… C. E. – Dayton, MD

Should I ever come across anyone who would benefit from your services, I will highly recommend you to them. Warm regards, Don V. – Fairfax County, VA

Alex (at Kay Properties) helped me identify my next investment by suggesting some investments and explaining to me how they worked. The process was painless. I have been using Key Properties for over 5 years now and have always had a good experience. I whole-heartedly recommend them. Bill E. – Jackson Township, NJ

Chay, Looks like your offerings were the best, not to mention the value you added when we talked. I will keep you in my DST file for myself and other potential DST buyers. Thanks for your help, Lou M. – Orange County, CA

Your welcome! I think that your DST's offer a good way for me to turn non-earning assets ( land) into diversified earning assets while deferring any capital gains taxes. Bill E. – Great Falls, VA

Just a note to say thanks for helping Hank and me through our first 1031 exchange. It was sure a pleasure working with you and Dwight not only getting us through the 1031 exchange in a timely manner but also working with such knowledgeable professionals. We were thrilled that there was an easy solution to getting through and simplifying the exchange process using DST’s, presented by the both of you. We are enjoying the returns being generated by the DST’s, and are very happy that we were able to put our “Capital Gains” back to work. Ted H – Clarke County, VA

It was a pleasant surprise to have received the gift basket with ‘goodies’ inside yesterday! I wanted to thank you for your gift. I also would like to express our gratitude for your help in processing our diverse set of DST’s that we hope will be instruments of solid growth and income. You have been wonderful in helping us, and a good source of information on commercial real estate. These are great investments that now don’t require our managing the properties! Elaine T. – Broomfield, CO

Debbie and I received a beautiful basket of goodies and wine from you and Kay Properties. It was not expected but very much appreciated and will be put to good use as we host a big super bowl party 🙂 When you called the other night to tell us that everything was in place with our investments, it was very comforting to hear that considering this was our first experience doing a DST. Will look forward doing some more in the future and I have been passing on your info to people who might have an interest in doing one themselves. Enjoyed working with you and lets keep in touch. Jon and Debbie E. – Maple Glen, PA

Thanks so much for thinking of us, and for the lovely gift. I cannot tell you how much we appreciated working with you; you made a really complicated situation much easier to manage. Phil C. – Humphreys County, TN

I appreciate very much your assistance in making the purchases. I hope to do more business with you in the future as I have several more properties on the market. I have also counseled other family members and friends about your services so you can expect more business in the future. R. N. - Thurston County, WA

We very much appreciated the knowledge, professionalism and assistance you gave us over the past months in deciding what investments were most beneficial for us. We look forward to doing business with you in the future. Marie E. – Westchester County, NY

I just want to thank you for all of your expertise and assistance with the transaction. It is always a pleasure working with you. You provide a comfort zone for the consumer, disclosing the pluses and minuses and being forthright in your client/registered representative relationship. Thank you again for all your support. Bob R. – Los Angeles, CA

Having sold our rental house in the Bay Area up north, we found it uneasy to replace it with another in Southern California. Thanks to Dwight’s excellent guidance and assistance, now we own multiple newer real estate properties in ten states (vs. one single older house) – diversified investment, with tax-deferred capital gains! Our 1031 Exchange via KPI was accomplished easily within 45 days. We’ve been most pleased with the work Dwight has done for us, particularly with his impressively pleasant diligence, responsiveness, communication and professionalism. Dwight is very honest and trustworthy… We are harvesting steady monthly direct deposit streams without having to manage anything. David and Susie M. – Hacienda Heights, CA

You are a model of expertise and responsiveness in your business. It was a real pleasure working with you. Dick S. – Chappaqua, NY

DK (Dwight), Just a short note of appreciation for your professional advice and guidance. Can you believe it, we are now going on 3 years with numerous real estate investments together and all (100%) have performed at or above projections. I cannot thank you enough. We consider you like one of our sons (except for the inheritance part:) Your dedication to your clients is exceptional especially when compared with other brokers in the real estate field. There is an old saying that says “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” It is an honor and privilege to do business with you. We’ve truly enjoyed our association and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship. Make it happen.G. D. – Huntington Beach, CA

Dwight has been an amazing source of expertise and knowledge with respect to Delaware Statutory Trusts. He has treated all of my clients with special care, always ensuring that the most appropriate properties were suggested. During every step of the 1031 process, Dwight has been attentive and available to serve my clients. Dwight is an expert in his field and is a pleasure to work with. David T. – New York Tax Attorney

Dwight Kay came very highly recommended to me by a number of friends in both the real estate investment and real estate brokerage worlds and after working with him on multiple projects for nearly a (very successful!) year I know why: Beyond being extremely knowledgeable, Dwight is always interested in understanding each different situation, listening carefully, and extremely good about suggesting solutions in a calm, patient and friendly manner. He always has time to go over whatever my concerns are, and has never failed to respond with whatever information I requested if it was not handily available. He seems to have the patience of a Saint and I have never once felt pressured to respond or make hasty decisions. I am very glad my friends recommend him to me, as I have to others! Thank you, Dwight! Eagle T. – Los Angeles, CA

It was a pleasure working with Dwight Kay and his company this past year on my 1031, DST exchange. Everything has worked as Mr. Kay said it would and the checks arrive at the same time each month. As I do more 1031 exchanges in the future I look forward to working with Dwight Kay and Kay Properties with a DST to defer my taxes on the sale. Richard V. – Overland Park, KS

We have worked with Dwight Kay for the past two years and have found his service to be very reliable, trustworthy, accommodating, and honest. We have been pleased with the real estate investments we have made, and plan to make more in the future with him as opportunities arise. We find him very knowledgeable and highly recommend Dwight for any real estate investment. Gerald M. – Rolling Hills Estates, CA

I have used Dwight as my real estate investment advisor and have been very pleased with his depth of knowledge related to real estate investment opportunities and his dedicated, personable, and prompt attention to the needs of his clients. Having invested in real estate for over 14 years, I find Dwight to be by far the best person to assist in finding high-quality investment opportunities. I would not hesitate to recommend Dwight to anyone who asks. Fred M. – Huntington Beach, CA

Just a short note to thank you for your work in getting me the detailed information I needed to make, what I believe to be the correct 1031 investment decision. Alex P. – 1031 DST Investor living in Europe

Dwight Kay has represented my needs well in terms of reviewing my specific real estate investment needs… His ability to describe the “pros and cons” of each property has assisted me in my overall financial life beyond my present real estate investments. Moreover, his patience, and willingness to look inside investment problems while “avoiding speculation and “hear say” allowed me to make sound investment decisions based on his knowledge and training. My real estate portfolio today represents diversification, tax benefits and a sound income stream. I count on Dwight’s knowledge and input to find new real estate investment opportunities that fit the current ever-changing financial environment. Charles K. – Long Beach, CA

Dwight was a critical element in my successfully completing my 1031 exchange. He gave me suggestions, guidance, did research for me and answered all of my questions. When the time comes to roll any of my properties over, I will go to him again. Sergei P. – South Florida

We have been investors with Dwight for over five years. He is a knowledgeable and trustful individual that we would highly recommend. In the years that we have invested in real estate with him he has always been very helpful and honest with us. We look forward to having many more successful investments with Dwight. Alex B. – Huntington Beach, CA

I have been with Dwight Kay for well over a year now, and I have been very impressed with the level of service I receive from him. He is very credible and always responsive to my questions in a timely manner. I would recommend him without hesitation. Niki D. – Torrance, CA

Dwight Kay has been my broker for the past several years. He is very knowledgeable about the properties he recommends. He is very diligent and when you ask a question he always either answers right away or does whatever it takes to find out and get back to you. Dwight has the highest moral standards of any real estate broker that I have ever been associated with. I have been a real estate investor over the past 40 years and I would completely recommend Dwight for any of your investment real estate needs. Dennis C. – Huntington Beach, CA

Greetings it was a pleasure to work with Dwight. He was very informative about his properties and presented them with earnestness and enthusiasm but without the Hard Sell. Also when I needed help and information to complete my taxes concerning the properties, he was very prompt and helpful. If I do any such transactions again, he will be the one I call. Jean L. – US 1031 Exchange Investor living in Thailand

Dwight helped me get my feet wet with alternative investments in the real estate field, and has always followed through with his commitments. Bill G. – Manhattan Beach, CA

I would recommend Dwight to anyone. He has the knowledge and experience needed to help people in their real estate transactions. Virginia N. – Redondo Beach, CA

I wanted to thank you for all the help you have supplied in solving my 1031 exchange questions and problems. Dwight not only supplied excellent 1031 investments but contacted the companies involved and had their representatives meet me while I viewed the properties at their locations. I have been highly impressed with Dwight Kay and the companies he is involved within completing my 1031 exchange. Greg U. – Brea, CA

What I like about Dwight is that he knows how to explain hard-to-understand financial concepts. He seems to like to teach his clients and uses excellent analogies to do this very effectively. I would recommend Dwight because, in addition to removing the veil of complexity associated with 1031’s, he is friendly, professional, and prompt. Sabina T. – West Hartford, CT

I have had the fortunate opportunity of working with Dwight Kay for nearly four years. He is trustworthy and knowledgeable. I have gained a great deal of information in this time period and will work with Dwight again. Elizabeth T. – Rolling Hills Estates, CA

To whom it may concern: My wife and I met Dwight about a few years ago… As a somewhat conservative CPA we talked to other people that worked with Dwight as well, and found out how they had a sincere trust in him… We are very happy with our decision to use Dwight as our broker. Richard I. – Playa Del Rey, CA

Dwight Kay of KPI Brokers has represented me on multiple apartment and commercial real estate transactions over the years and he has done an outstanding job. I highly recommend his services to anyone wanting to sell/buy apartments or commercial properties. I quite frankly would not use anyone else but Dwight and KPI Brokers, Inc to handle my apartment and commercial real estate brokerage needs. Thanks, Dwight for being so honest, loyal, and committed to the success of your clients! Hanna M. – Redondo Beach, CA

Dwight Kay was not only highly informative and passionate in his work, but he made the whole process… an easy process. I feel his suggestions for properties to be solid and to be specific to what I was after. I will have no problem to use Dwight again in my future investment needs. Lloyd F. – Phoenix, AZ

I met Dwight through a family member… From my experience, I have been very impressed with Dwight’s professionalism and dedication to his work. He does his research and presents the properties in a very approachable way. I enjoy working with him and look forward to further real estate investments in the future. Dominique M. – Redondo Beach, CA

Dwight, You may give this testimonial to anyone you desire, as I and my wife, think that you are the most honorable individual we know. Your integrity cannot be exceeded. Besides being a good human being, you are at the top of the most knowledgeable real estate brokers we know. I have been practicing law for over 40 years and my practice, for a while, was primarily real estate law. I also have developed and invested in real estate for over 47 years and have owned every kind of real estate. You have been extremely helpful to us in our real estate endeavors. Bob K. – Rolling Hills Estates, CA

Dwight Kay has been very attentive to my investment real estate needs. He has gone the extra mile, so to speak, from becoming registered in Illinois so he could work with me to several long phone discussions outlining my options and opportunities. My two investments with him have done well. I enjoy his personal touch and professional expertise. Howard C. – Chicago, IL

I found your services in setting up our real estate investments effective and comprehensive. I appreciated your speedy response to all my emails. You continue to extend an invitation to your many luncheon meetings and webinars. Thanks for making real estate investing so simple and profitable! Sharon C. – South Pasadena, CA

My experience with Dwight Kay has been one of complete financial success. Before meeting Dwight, my wife and I had substantial financial losses… Since following Dwight’s real estate advice, we have made quite a spectacular financial recovery. In less than three years, we have more than doubled our rental income. Two of the most impressive qualities in Dwight are that he has years of varied financial experience, especially in all phases of real estate and he is always thoroughly knowledgeable… My wife and I are highly appreciative of the part Dwight played in the vast improvement in our financial circumstances. He conducts business in a very professional, yet friendly and thorough manner. John I. – West Torrance, CA

Your services and the properties you brought to us have exceeded our expectations. Hard to do in this market. Your refreshing honesty and integrity is a breath of fresh air when trying to find the right properties. Eddie C. – Redondo Beach, CA

We have purchased several deals with KPI Brokers Inc. and are quite pleased with the results. It’s apparent that Dwight’s concerns lean more toward his client’s satisfaction than his personal interests. However, it’s our profitable track record with him based on his extensive knowledge in all forms of real estate that have placed him in our most favored category of real estate brokers.Rosaline M. & Ivanhoe D. – Redondo Beach, CA

It is my pleasure to write on behalf of Dwight Kay and his Company – Kay Properties and Investments, LLC. I had the pleasure to meet Dwight during a trip to Los Angeles. I appreciate the time, activities and emails to me explaining the various opportunities for accomplishing my desired financial goals. I have no hesitation recommending Dwight and his real estate services. Claudia U. – Fremont, CA

Our investment group worked with Dwight in finding potential 1031 exchange investments. Dwight worked diligently in finding possibilities for us to consider. Once we zeroed in on a property, he got us across the finish line with ease and professionalism. I would highly recommend Dwight for anyone needing real estate services. Ken I. – Fremont, CA

Dwight, Thank you and I look forward to working with you (again). This was a smooth transaction. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. John Y. – Englewood, FL

A few months ago we were introduced to Dwight Kay… Dwight was recommended as a broker who could help us with some of the 1031 tax-deferred exchanges that we were working on. Dwight has shown a strong knowledge of how 1031 tax-deferred exchanges work and has been instrumental in helping us complete a number of transactions. Dwight has worked closely with us and our Qualified Intermediary in completing our exchanges. We have found Dwight thoughtful, knowledgeable, forward-thinking, and dedicated to us as clients. We are currently working with Dwight on a large 1031 exchange, and look forward to completing this transaction with him in November. We feel comfortable working with Dwight and recommend him to anyone that needs investment advice. B.Y. – Ventura County, CA

Dwight, it was a pleasure working with you during our 1031 exchange. Thank you for your expert guidance and your never-ending dedication to ensuring we were comfortable during every step of the process. Your goal for us was that we selected the potentially safest properties with the most reliable track records consistent with the best potential for future growth. We, Jan and I, are very pleased with the professional help you provided. Thanks again, a pleasure knowing you.Larry D. – Riverside, CA

Dwight has been instrumental in helping me reach my financial goals. I have been an active real estate investor for years and was ready to turn from being an active investor to a passive investor so I could focus on other opportunities and interests. I am happy to say I made an investment with Dwight. I am happy to say that the returns that were promised have been delivered and I would encourage any investor to speak with Dwight regarding their investments. He has been amazing for me and I am so thankful to have done business with him. Casey D. – Atlanta, GA

I would like to thank Dwight Kay of Kay Properties & Investments, LLC for steering us through our first 1031 exchange in California. We had done several previous exchanges in Maryland, but none with the personal touch that Dwight provided. He came out to our house, helped run through the figures to determine whether a 1031 made sense in this case, suggested several options for exchange properties, explained the benefits and risks of each, put us in touch with an excellent third party to handle the transaction, promptly returned calls to answer any remaining questions we had as the exchange progressed, and all in all made this a seamless process from beginning to end. We look forward to working with Dwight on any future exchanges we do. Maurice & Janette L. – Torrance, CA

It is our pleasure to provide our testimonial. You have been very professional throughout the whole process. In another word, you have been very patient and thorough with our questions and your guidance. We did not know the process at all in the beginning. Without your guidance, I imagine it would have been a difficult process for us. Jim & Ann M. – Foster City, CA

Dwight, the four 1031 exchanges that you put together for me are performing well. You did an excellent job in your selection. I was especially impressed with your immediate responses to the many questions I had, and for your assistance with the decisions that were required in my rather long process. Thank you for your professionalism, and my best wishes to you for your continued success. Bob W. – Nevada City, CA

Dwight has shown a strong knowledge of how 1031 tax deferred exchanges work, and has been instrumental in helping us complete a number of transactions. We have found Dwight thoughtful, knowledgeable, forward thinking, and dedicated to us as clients. We are currently working with Dwight on a large 1031 exchange, and look forward to completing this transaction with him in November. We feel comfortable working with Dwight, and recommend him to anyone that needs investment advice. Barry Y. – Orange County, CA

Just a short note to express thanks for helping us select the best 1031 replacement property. We were pleased with the help you offered on the paper work. I wish our other investments were handled with the same attention to detail. Again for finding the best match for our needs. Ken & Margie C. – Charlotte, NC.

Thanks for your continued help, Jan and I have complete confidence in you. Thanks again Dwight, have a great weekend. Larry – San Bernardino, CA

You came well recommended and I was not disappointed… I’m sure we will work together again in the future. Karl C – Glendale, CA

Hi Dwight and Chay, You guys are such an amazing team! Thanks for all your help last week. I came to you with no experience, very little time, and not much money, and you still treated me like an important client, patiently explaining and proposing alternatives that ultimately allowed me to identify a solution on very short notice.Lisa I. – Northern California
