Diving Successful Lives Real Estate Donation: The Smart Solution for Unused Industrial Property

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - Feb. 10, 2025 - PRLog -- Driving Successful Lives (DSL) offers a practical solution for businesses burdened by unused industrial properties. By accepting donations of blighted sites, DSL helps companies unlock tax advantages of donating real estate while revitalizing communities.

A recent example is the donation of a 30-year-abandoned truck terminal in Saginaw, Michigan. The terminal had become a costly liability for its owners due to taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Efforts to sell the property were complicated by capital gains recapture concerns.

By donating the real estate to DSL, the company avoided financial headaches and gained charitable tax deductions. "This was a smart business decision that also made a lasting positive impact," said Mark Maupin, Director of DSL.

Proceeds from the terminal's sale supported DSL's mission, which includes providing essential services to veterans, job seekers, and families in need. Testimonials from beneficiaries highlight the charity's success in transforming lives through real estate donations.

"We're proud to turn liabilities into wins for companies, cities, and people in need," Maupin stated. "We hope others will join us in this mission."
