Hello. It is very valuable video. Thank you. I am a contractor in California and need to protect my safe assets, and thought here is the way to go: Wyoming LLC. But then I found this info: "Wyoming does have asset protection laws, but these are not as good as they may seem at first. That is because anyone who is out of state, like most LLCs, will have to deal with conflicting laws. In that situation, the Wyoming asset protection laws become irrelevant and lose their benefits". Any comments?

You said for the third quad for buying real estate why is that not included in to Quadrant 4 Risk asset just wondering, Lee Gray or Leolyan Gray same person it’s easier to pronounce Lee thanks Clint. You’ve helped me a lot. I will be talking to you soon and creating what you’re showing here. Planning on joining platinum keep up the good work. Your work is awesome and I see you as an awesome person and a caring person again, Lee Gray

[@LeolyanGRAY]

I may not have been very clear when I text about putting real estate that’s in the third quadrant where one has active business. What is the difference in buying real estate in the third quadrant and in the fourth quadrant under risk assets?

[@LeolyanGRAY]

From Lee Gray or Leolyan Gray I am the same person. It’s easy to say Lee than my full name Leolyan

[@ClintCoons]

Lee the real estate would be in the 4th quadrant and then leased to the business.

[@michaelmazzucco]

Assuming all the businesses and Risk investments are in their own separate entities, does the WY LLC in your Non Risk Investment own the businesses and Risk Investments in those respective quadrants or are they all flowing up in to their own separate WY LLCs? So in other words, do you have a separate holdings WY LLC for each of those quadrants, or is it the same one used for your non risk investments?

[@ClintCoons]

I would use 2 WY holding LLCs. One will hold safe assets and the other will hold the risk LLCs

[@sachastayswi]

Why not put the checking account into the WY LLC?

[@ClintCoons]

Because the LLC is a business account and you can not use personal funds inside of a business or it blows the corporate veil.

16:00 'Wyoming 1. offers the charging order. It states in its statute that it's the exclusive remedy. So you've got to have this in your operating agreement 2. No requirement to list members or managers. 3. Delaware is more expensive and Nevada anonymity is more challenging.'

[@XennialGuy]

You didn't demonstrate or explain the greatest benefit of an S Corp, The ability to pay yourself a large chunk via dividends that are taxed at 15% in most cases. So you would effectively not be in a 37% tax bracket. Your explanation of the benefits of a C Corp is good, but there are a lot of benefits to S Corp, especially those in lower income generating brackets.

[@ClintCoons]

Correct. It all depends on the situation. We set up a lot of S-Corps.

[@mcbiolife9446]

Hi Clint, thank you so much for this video! Do you know if I wanted to put my savings into a WY LLC like you are recommending, if simply setting up a couple CD accounts and then a small amount of money (e.g., $5k) into the S&P 500 would warrant the required business purpose of the LLC in the eyes of a judge (i.e., the business purpose would be "investing")?. In other words, do you know if what I described would allow the protections of the WY LLC to normally hold up in court if I were sued personally, assuming there was no comingling of funds, fraud, etc.?

[@ClintCoons]

At 5k I would wait until you build the account before establishing the LLC.

Clint thank you-if you could possibly do a general video on the EIN number application on reason for LLC, especially for those of us not using for business but holding assets (that do not produce income). I have not applied because so confusing and no explanation from IRS, cannot reach them by phone either. Generally attorney tells you to select starting new business but in my case not starting a new business. I saw option for banking ? do you know anything about the options on this irs form or where I can get specific explanations of what each option is? so confusing.

Correct - here is a link to my site with tons of info: cta.andersonadvisors.com/

[@sumit10887]

Hello, I like you video and they are very useful. What's your though on this? An additional item to consider when deciding whether to form an LLC in Wyoming instead of Georgia, is the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution. If a Georgia resident formed a Wyoming LLC, a Georgia creditor got a judgment against the Georgia resident, including a charging order and garnishment, it seems that the creditor should be able to take the Georgia judgment and charging order and garnishment to Wyoming and have the Wyoming courts apply the judgment, charging order, and garnishment to the Wyoming LLC. The result is that the Wyoming LLC does not help the Georgia resident. That is almost exactly what happened in the 2012 case of In re Inman, except the states involved were Florida and Colorado.

[@ClintCoons]

You could get the charging order but not the foreclosure. Colorado permits foreclosure of an LLC interest so that may be why the remedy was allowed.

[@sumit10887]

Georgia doesn't permit foreclosure or dissolution of LLC anyways so, for me as a Georgia resident, Wyoming LLC would not be very helpful as court will implement Georgia rule to Wyoming LLC and it won't be limited to charging order only? @@ClintCoons

[@cesterly4668]

Can you just hold your assets not invest by the way in WY LLC, dont want to pay any income taxes on this.

[@ClintCoons]

You will pay income taxes on any income generated from the assets and yes you can hold in the WY LLC even though they are not making money.

[@cesterly4668]

Clint not making any money here, not investing at all and only holding assets; no income just existing funds saved-already paid income taxes on; so no taxes correct?

[@ClintCoons]

@@cesterly4668 Correct

[@LAKitchen]

Does this stuff work in California, have to disclose and register everything if doing business in CA...like rental property. Holding entity in WY for property in CA legit?

[@ClintCoons]

Absolutely. We use it all the time.

[@Johnnyfabifit]

Amazing information thank you!

[@jackriley71]

Question, if you have a business (C Corp) that has accumulated a lot of liquid assets after taxes, are you able to use those funds to fund risk assets in quadrant #4 such as real estate without having to take a distribution that hits the personal taxes? Like an ownership interest in a WY LLC Holding company with several sub LLCs that own real estate properties?

[@ClintCoons]

Hmm. You could loan the money to yourself to invest in RE, or if you want your corporation to own the property, you would invest through LLCs owned by the corporation. Remember that holding rentals in a corp is not a good idea from a tax perspective.

if a creditor can take your savings in the living trust (personal side)why cant they take the checking acct that you have listed under the living trust?

They can and that is why you should not keep a large account balance in your personal checking. You can not put your personal checking into your WY LLC it must remain in a trust.

[@danishnaseem2210]

Hello Clint, I thought in one of your videos you said don't open an LLC for personal items for instance cash savings. However, here you are saying open a savings account under an LLC (no risk quadrant). Don't you think its a conflicting advice?

[@ClintCoons]

No because your savings is an investment account with counts as a business asset. The business purpose is investing.

[@victorial.4345]

Lastly, can the AMLP hold other businesses not correlated with real estate? Thank you!

[@ClintCoons]

I would keep other assets separate from your real estate like I show you in the video. Second, using the AMLP can pose potential issues for flow through losses and material participation status.

I love your videos. There are very few people out there like you offering valuable critical information in such a clear manor. You speak a lot about setting up an anonymity structure utilising a WY LLC to hold your local LLC. How do you maintain anonymity when A) Suppose you want to transfer property into the local LLC, upon transferring the deed you need to list a SS of the member of the local LLC B) The WY LLC requires an annual report , to which you’ll need to sign for. (Even if you have a 3rd party organiser.)

[@ClintCoons]

If you set up the structure yourself you won't be able to give your plan anonymity. If the local LLC is owned by a WY LLC then your name will not appear anywhere on the local filing. On the WY annual you should have a 3rd party submit the annual on your behalf.

[@eswarez2226]

@@ClintCoons do you mean that when I have a 3rd party Organiser, I should not have to sign on the annual report? 2ndly, what about when my local LLC buys the property from myself, am I not required to write the SS of the member of the local LLC when filing the deed? (How do you get around that even, when using a 3rd party?)
