Ep. 53 Delaware Statutory Trusts Are Changing Real Estate And Legacy Planning with Ray DeWitt

What if the real estate you already own could unlock greater financial freedom, passive income, and even a more meaningful charitable legacy? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Ray DeWitt, founder of the 1031DST Group, to explore how Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are transforming the way investors think about real estate, retirement, and long-term planning. Ray shares how his transition from traditional financial planning into alternative investments opened the door to helping clients solve not only investment challenges, but also tax concerns, landlord fatigue, and estate planning questions.Throughout the conversation, Ray explains how DSTs can allow investors to move from active property management into fully passive real estate ownership while potentially deferring capital gains taxes through 1031 exchanges. He also discusses why these strategies are becoming increasingly relevant as baby boomers look to simplify their lives, create income flexibility, and explore charitable giving opportunities tied to real estate wealth. Whether you are a real estate investor, financial advisor, donor, or someone thinking about the future of your legacy, this episode offers a practical and thought-provoking look at one of the fastest-growing strategies in real estate planning today.Contact Rick Peck:Website: https://www.thephilanthropyguy.comEmail: [email protected] A call: Rick Peck's CalendarSign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: Charitable Giving NewsletterLinkedIn: Richard PeckContact Ray DeWitt:Website: 1031 DST GroupPhone: (801) 815-6619
