[@TinyFord1]

Good job with this video. A problem I find very often is the fact that people use trusts as their alter ego and then once the corporate veil is pierced all the effort of setting it up is undone. So if I can add a tip… If you are a founder of a trust and are only a trustee it’s no longer your asset, it belongs to the beneficiaries

The course was good but more of a high level view. Your sheet that you provide for analysing deals is probably the best take away as well as the section on trusts. Is it possible to release a YT video or update the course to delve deeper into the financial breakdown of fees/costs and how you are using it with a little more detail. Thanks Louis :-)

Setup a Company within a trust. He literally said it in this video. “Donations tax to the company and it’s an easy way to move money from your personal name into the trust.” If you do the math, he has a company in a trust. 5:07

[@mariusroesener6422]

Hi Louis, can you advise on a trust company? Also, saving for the next property, can you advise how best to save this Money. Want to buy the property cash in the next 3 to 4 years...

[@louisreynhardt]

Absolutely, I use and recommend Prosperity Enterprises. You can google them and use my name as Reference. It really depends on your income but generally if you can save a large amount, you can save it in acess bond or a moneymarket account. Feel free to consider my property course ⬇️ To secure your spot, simply click payhip.com/LouisReynhardt and follow the easy registration process.

[@ntsokolomemani3874]

Can you also make a video describing how a trust work? For example you are owning these properties and we all understand how that works. But what will change once the properties are no longer in your name? Or is it business as usual and nothing changes at all?

[@louisreynhardt]

Thanks for the suggestion. Ill try to look into a video where I cover this. You can still be a trustee of the trust meaning you have control of it but you dont own it in your own name

[@ntsokolomemani3874]

@louisreynhardt I once heard another trust expert saying that I can be the only person in a trust. Meaning I will be the founder as well as the only trustee. He said as long as I'm not also the beneficiary there is nothing wrong legally with me being the only member of the trust. Is it really so?

[@louisreynhardt]

@ntsokolomemani3874 that is correct. You can also be the beneficiariy as long as the trust deed stipulates everything correctly

[@sifisomahlaba9438]

Hi, can you ''transfer'' the house you are currently paying for at the bank into the trust?

[@louisreynhardt]

Yes, you can, but you will have to sell the property to the trust, so there will be transfer and registration cost involved.

[@silverzero585]

Would you consider FNB's Trustee service(s) a good option?

[@louisreynhardt]

I haven't used it before, so i can't comment on it. But I prefer using someone that invests in property themselves. At fnb, you might work with someone walking into an accounting position with no property, handling your property structures.

[@TheFiki14]

Hi, what would you say your net income and value of assets should be t for this to be worthwhile?

It's worthwhile starting with no assets. Remember you grow your assets with time. Imagine driving through town waiting for all the robots o be green. You will never get to your destination if you keep waiting.

Hi Louis, Thanks for the great information. Is it possible to transfer ownership of a house into a trust if you’ve bought under your name?

Can you transfer a property you haven’t fully paid into a trust?
