About Paul Hogenson
Helping professionals turn complex tax-advantaged real estate concepts into clearer client conversations.

Speaker · Educator · Practitioner
Paul Hogenson’s perspective has been shaped by approximately 20 years in mortgage lending, roughly 15 years owning and managing investment real estate and approximately 20 years of real estate licensing experience.
Today, as Founder and CEO of DST Investment Advisors and Opportunity Zone Advisors, Paul works with investors and their professional advisors on 1031 exchanges, Delaware Statutory Trusts and tax-advantaged real estate strategies.
That experience informs his speaking: clear explanations, practical planning questions and an appreciation for how different professionals contribute to the same transaction.
The teaching approach
Paul’s programs translate complicated rules and investment structures into concepts CPAs, attorneys, brokers, QIs and financial professionals can use when discussing client situations.
Presentations explore opportunities alongside constraints, investment risks and coordination needs. The goal is to help attendees recognize relevant planning issues and understand when further analysis or specialist involvement is needed.
The speaking practice is centered on professional education. Program content is shaped around the audience’s learning goals.
Let’s shape a program around your professionals, your event and the questions their clients are asking.
