Ashley Romiti -The Smart Exit: 1031 Exchanges & DST Investing Explained

from REL Freedom Podcast · host Mike Swenson

Ashley Romiti serves as Founder and President of GCA1031, who specializes in helping long-term real estate investors navigate the often-overlooked side of investing: the exit. With nearly 15 years in commercial real estate underwriting and advisory, Ashley saw too many retiring landlords and business owners sitting on highly appreciated assets, facing management fatigue and major tax exposure—without fully understanding their options. She breaks down how 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) actually work, how to evaluate risk and income beyond headline returns, and how to transition from active ownership to passive income while preserving capital and deferring taxes. If you’re a seasoned investor thinking about selling, scaling back, or building a smarter long-term wealth plan, this conversation brings clarity to one of the most important (and misunderstood) decisions you’ll make.FOLLOW 👇https://www.gca1031.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584955381648#https://www.instagram.com/gca1031_1031dstinvesting/?__d=11%2Fhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-romiti-dst/SUBSCRIBE IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUILD WEALTH THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY ✅ http://relfreedom.tv  GET STARTED INVESTING TODAY AND ACCESS OUR DEAL LIST! 📈 https://pinnaclecapitalinvestments.com/ LEARN ABOUT REL FREEDOM & HEAR MORE REAL LIFE STORIES 🎙️ http://www.FreedomThroughRealEstate.com   FREEBIES: DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE FREEDOM FOUNDATION BLUEPRINT 💵 https://www.relfreedom.com/blueprint  SUBSCRIBE TO THE REL FREEDOM PODCAST 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rel-freedom-podcast/id1535281574🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5nXA5hLHbDzRwxypc2wLur?si=uwhs8FjVS_mpUAG2znbBDA&nd=1&dlsi=069fb8d4b74d4cfbLET'S CONNECT 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-swenson/👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getrelfreedom/ 👉 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@relfreedom 👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mswenson13
