What is this, in one paragraph?
Moody RI SW Austin DST is a Delaware statutory trust — a structure that lets 1031 exchangers hold fractional interests in real estate — organized in Delaware in 2022 by Houston-based Moody National.1 It raised private capital under Rule 506(b), meaning sales to accredited investors without public advertising. The offering is closed to new investors, and the SEC record never names the property it holds.

What exactly is the property?
There is no property record to show. The Trust's SEC filings identify the issuer and its offering terms but name no property, address, tenant, square footage, or purchase price.1 The trust name points toward a southwest Austin asset, but no filing or published source located confirms which building, or whether the Trust holds one property or several.
How did it end?
Converted to REIT units (721 exchange)
White Law Group's Aug 13, 2024 alert references a 'Residence Inn Austin sold' and '721 exchange' for the Moody RI SW Austin DST; the Residence Inn Austin (4143 Governors Road) was subsequently sold by Moody National REIT II on Feb 6, 2025 for $20.5M as part of its ongoing liquidation, consistent with the property being rolled into REIT II via a Section 721 UPREIT contribution, though no full-cycle investor metrics were disclosed.
The public coverage located reports a 2022 offering of approximately $40,040,000; it does not publicly confirm the underlying property name, exact address, size, or a news-based subscription/closing status.

What does the paperwork say?

Rule 506(b) allowed private sales to accredited investors — those meeting SEC income or net-worth tests — without general advertising, at a stated $25,000 minimum.1

A Form D is the notice a sponsor files when it starts raising money. A Form D filing does not mean the SEC approved, endorsed, or verified the offering.
DST interests are illiquid private securities. You may lose some or all of your investment. Distributions, tax treatment, and exit timing are not guaranteed. Review the current Private Placement Memorandum before investing.
Common questions
What happened to Moody RI SW Austin DST?
Top1031 lists Moody RI SW Austin DST as historical. It is no longer raising money.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Moody RI SW Austin DST?
Top1031 builds this record from the sponsor’s own SEC filings and cited sponsor disclosures. Filings can lag what is happening now. A Form D filing does not mean the SEC approved, endorsed, or verified the offering.
What property does Moody RI SW Austin DST actually own?
The public record does not say. Both SEC filings for this Trust — the original Form D and its 2023 amendment — cover the issuer and the offering terms only. They name no property, street address, tenant, operator, occupancy, purchase price, or lender. Top1031's own coverage note reaches the same conclusion: the underlying property name, address, and size are not publicly confirmed for this Trust.
Can I still invest in this Trust?
No. This is a Historical offering, meaning it is closed to new investors. The offering was first registered with the SEC on May 6, 2022, and the last filing on record is a Form D amendment dated March 8, 2023. A closed DST offering cannot accept new 1031 exchange money; investors seeking replacement property need an offering that is currently raising.
Who sponsors this Trust?
Moody National, a Houston-based real estate firm. The March 8, 2023 Form D amendment names Brett C. Moody as an executive officer and president of the issuer's manager, and lists Moody RI SW Austin AM, LLC, Moody RI SW Austin Depositor, LLC, and Moody National DST Sponsor, LLC as promoters of the offering.
What is the White Law Group investor alert about this Trust?
On August 13, 2024, the law firm The White Law Group published a page stating it was investigating potential securities claims involving broker-dealers that may have unsuitably recommended the Moody RI SW Austin DST offering to investors. That is a plaintiff's-side inquiry, not an SEC or FINRA enforcement action, and not a court finding of wrongdoing by anyone. No adjudicated outcome tied to this Trust appears in the record reviewed.
Is the Trust leveraged, and does it have a 721/UPREIT exit?
Neither is disclosed in the public record. A Form D reports offering mechanics — amount, exemption, minimum investment, investor count — not property debt or exit structure. Nothing on file for this Trust states loan terms, loan-to-value, or whether interests could be contributed to a REIT operating partnership in a 721 exchange (an UPREIT roll-up that converts DST interests into REIT units). Those terms would live in the private placement memorandum, the sponsor's confidential offering document.
What does Rule 506(b) mean for how this offering was sold?
Rule 506(b) is the SEC exemption that lets an issuer raise money privately without registering the securities, provided it does not use general solicitation or advertising. Investors typically come through pre-existing relationships with the sponsor or its selling broker-dealers, and buyers must generally be accredited — meeting SEC income or net-worth tests. The Form D for this Trust reports it as a 506(b) equity offering with a $25,000 stated minimum investment.
