This episode could save you tens of thousands, if not millions, in the long run. We get the same questions all the time: Do I need an LLC for rental property investing? Should I start an LLC before buying my first rental? Where is the best state for a real estate LLC? We’re not lawyers, so we can’t advise on this, but we do know someone who can—Brian T. Bradley, nationally renowned asset protection lawyer.
Brian has heard all the “legal advice” from social media—an LLC makes you anonymous, an LLC helps you pay no taxes, and an LLC will completely hide your assets. If you’d prefer to 1. Keep your assets yours and 2. Not spend years in federal prison, this is the episode to watch. Just following any of the above (extremely incorrect) advice could not only risk your rentals, but also put you behind bars.
In today’s episode, Brian shares a masterclass on asset protection, from which legal entities you need (LLCs, trusts, partnerships), to the biggest myth about where to start an LLC, how much it costs to keep your asset protection strong, and whether you really should buy your first rental without an LLC. Don’t know what an LLC even is? You better, and after this episode, you’ll be a pro!
In This Episode We Cover
LLCs explained (limited liability companies) and how they protect your assets
The biggest myth about LLCs that will cost many investors in the long run
When to upgrade from an LLC to an asset protection trust (you may already be there)
How much an LLC costs to create, keep active, and where to start yours
Offshore trusts that are virtually untouchable by US courts
Own rentals? Do this right now, before you get sued
And So Much More!
