How have sales gone?
The Form D record has one sales figure so far, so there is no trend to chart. The figure is in Sales so far ↑.
How is it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
The Trust owns the community outright: no mortgage, no lender, no loan maturity that could force a refinance or sale. An exchanger who sold a leveraged property and needs replacement debt to avoid taxable boot will not find that leverage here.

Form D Item 15 and Item 16 amounts may be the issuer’s estimates; each percentage is Top1031’s arithmetic on two Form D figures. Item 16 can overlap Item 15, so Top1031 does not add them together. The issuer marked these amounts as an estimate.

What does the SEC record show?
No amendment has followed the original Form D, so EDGAR still shows the offering as it stood on the day it was filed. 1 The sponsor's May 6, 2026 announcement that the offering was fully subscribed appears nowhere in the SEC record. 4

Common questions
- Can I still invest in Cove Texas Build-to-Rent 97 DST?
- No new interests: Cove Texas Build-to-Rent 97 DST is reported fully subscribed. Top1031 lists it as recently fully subscribed and does not count it as an active offering.
- Where exactly is the property?
- The Form D places it in San Antonio, Texas without a street address, and the sponsor's page for the Trust does not publish one. The San Antonio Business Journal, reporting on August 11, 2025, identified the 83-home community at 13927 Borolanite Drive in the Alamo Ranch area of northwest San Antonio. Confirm the address and legal description in the offering documents and in the title record.
- What does "build-to-rent" mean here?
- Build-to-rent describes housing constructed specifically to be leased rather than sold to individual homebuyers. The San Antonio Business Journal reported that D.R. Horton built this community in 2024; it comprises 83 units averaging 1,861 square feet, and Top1031's record notes pool and lazy river amenities. Cash flow comes from many household leases rather than one corporate tenant, so vacancy and turnover are spread across the homes instead of concentrated in a single lease that either renews or does not.
- Is there a current occupancy figure for this community?
- Not a verified current one. The San Antonio Business Journal reported the 83-home community 95% occupied as of July 30, 2025, which is a historical snapshot tied to the acquisition period. Cove's August 2025 press material attaches a similar occupancy sentence to a separately named Dallas build-to-rent offering, and no issuer filing states occupancy. Ask the sponsor for a current rent roll and occupancy report alongside the offering documents.
- How was this offering sold, and who could buy it?
- It was offered under Rule 506(c), a private-placement exemption that lets a sponsor advertise publicly but requires it to verify that every buyer is an accredited investor — someone meeting SEC income or net-worth thresholds — rather than accept self-certification. Cove Capital said the equity came from accredited 1031-exchange and direct-cash investors.
- What does a debt-free DST mean for my 1031 exchange?
- With no mortgage on the property, your investment equals your share of the equity and no loan balance is allocated to you. If you sold a property carrying debt and need replacement debt to avoid taxable boot, an all-cash Trust does not supply it. There is also no loan maturity that could force a refinance or sale. Discuss the arithmetic of your specific exchange with your CPA or tax counsel before relying on any structure.
