Great job taking on such a polarized topic. I didn’t want to watch because I am so against having a LLC. (For the wrong reasons) I know some have seen my answer a few times. But I’m always concerned a new investor may get stopped in their tracks by thinking a LLC is needed. When it often isn’t. There is already enough to learn. There are some times a LLC makes sense. Have partners? LLC. Need to use hard money or commercial loans? LLC. (This could he because you already have ten mortgages in your name and ten in your spouses or you are going for 5+ units on one property.) But There is a pretty good list of reasons why none of my properties are or ever will be in a LLC. Higher interest rate. Higher insurance costs. A LLC can’t represent itself if sued so you have to pay an attorney. Set up fees. Annual renewal fees. Refinancing can be harder. Some states add an S Corp extra tax. Municipalities can require a business license. A judge can “pierce the veil” if they decide the LLC is just you so it may not be good asset protection. Instead I have homeowners insurance on each property and an umbrella policy. I love this podcast. And respect the idea of different opinions. Commenting for the algorithm and so a new investor doesn’t get stopped by thinking they need a LLC. (As I can tell by a lot of the comments.)

Thank you for this in-depth reply. A lot to consider. I am definitely a rookie. Love your channel as well. Our tenant asked for a $225 rent increase using your binder method... Thank you! I'd love to talk more about that also... But not today You mentioned partners being an exception for you to utilize an LLC. I purchased a duplex that am house hacking... If you purchased with your wife, does that qualify as a partner scenario that you mentioned above needing an LLC in your opinion? (We both needed to be on the mortgage to qualify for the amount of the purchase)

i can tell you everything i heard about them is they seem to have little in way of case law - meaning that not had enough proof of legal protection cases. Id say dont be the person to test it allow more case law to come out. Go use a Domestic or Foreign LLC.

Great video. One question on the part about note investing - how would you go about making a non-performing note back to performing as a junior position holder. Would you not need the senior lender’s approval? Or are you just talking about getting your junior note back to performing even if the senior note is not performing?

I’m still waiting to hear him apply his rules to a rookie investor. He is discouraging me completely. I want cash flow and now I need a cpa, wealth management, asset protection and I don’t even have a property yet because I don’t have an LLC. In NY you can’t establish an umbrella LLC.
@semicron51593 жыл бұрын
His advice is more for people with a good amount of assets. Also forming an llc is pretty cheap and does not require a lawyer. He specifically says if you are a rookie you need insurance (which the bank already requires) and an llc.
@DionTalkFinancialFreedom3 жыл бұрын
Agreed. Please don’t be discouraged. Having or not having a LLC is something to consider after you have several properties. Focus on acquiring cash flowing rentals. (Instead of advice from someone who focuses on crypto for rental portfolio growth)

In terms of creating an OOS llc to save money, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just if you ever get sued the llc will then follow the laws/fees of where the property is located. That's what I got from that segment?

Interesting, most of this advice goes against everything everyone has been saying on BP for years. Cashflow is just icing on the cake? I don't think I've ever purchased a property just for the taxes, that's usually the icing. I've always heard the opposite about setting up an LLC for your very first few properties. I guess asset protection specialists will always pitch asset protection as being mega important.

So we have to buy the property as a investment to use a LLC on the mortgage. That changes down payment and rates. Am i getting what he means?. If you change a personal mortgage to a LLC doesn't that trigger the bank to call the note?
@johnjohnrn86553 жыл бұрын
It can - I don’t know if thos expect understands rookies or all states. If it’s difficult to purchase properties in LLCs and transferring the property after purchase can trigger the bank…..rookies won’t be able to start. David Green had a similar discussion where he mentions that it may not be worth it to start an LLC to get a property when you have to pay for the LLC and pay taxes for that LLC. I personally live in NY and you can have certain LLCs and CPAs can charge up to 5k for a year to prepare the taxes how does this work if you are cashing flowing $300 a month ?

There are a long list of reasons why I will never use a LLC. And a few cases when one may be needed. Do you have partners? Need to use commercial lending or hard money loans? Then a LLC may make sense. I’m always concerned a new investor will get stopped in their tracks thinking a LLC is needed. When there is already enough to learn.

She must be miss speaking because you can go on to the IRS website. You can order their publications. It says directly on the front cover tax avoidance is legal tax. Evasion is illegal and that's what an asset protection trust is. It's tax of buoyance through a foreign entity issued in the United States under no residency but terminal at the business address of the location within the land but not in Washington DC because that is where the United States is. And Puerto Rico is South Beach, Florida where the IRS is kept on the land of Puerto Rico. That's where their headquarters are

I just don't like when people misspoke to me in a long time to learn how to read correctly and then when you miss speak. It makes me not understand what I'm reading and what I'm reading is correct because that's there laws. And any one simple change in any word could change the value of what you're understanding and being a low frequency rather than a high frequency color. Cuz color is frequency I need to pay attention to. Everybody says cuz I don't have a Utopia frequency around me. Thank you. I apologize if I offended anyone.

The IRS states this, tax avoidance is legal. Tax evasion is illegal and if you listen to the man speak he says is illegal for tax avoidance. I it's recorded so there's no way he can deny that. So he misstated has to reclaim his issue. Defend again when a guilty plea ends all known defenses in court. That means if you put not guilty or guilty you have no defense and lawyers going to turn you over to the court under bond which is a promise. He's going to promise that you're going to perform something and he's going to step back and you're going to say something to the court. He just did that to himself. He should have pledged a fist on that one

Major mistake in his advice. Estate Planning attorneys are typically trained in asset protection. He states that trusts only protect assets when you are dead.... This is false- Most irrevocable Trusts are designed for asset protection and is also one of the main ways to accomplish it while also managing estate taxes at the same time. LLCs are arguably more limited than an irrevocable trust in terms of protection.
