Asset Protection, with Clint Coons

Clint Coons, Attorney at Anderson Advisors, is on the show with Abhi to discuss keeping your business protected. He kicks off the show with asset protection and putting barriers up to ensure if you are slapped with a lawsuit, you have taken the right procedures to make sure you and your real estate investments are protected. If you are a first-time investor, be sure you have worked out all the kinks in your business so that you are fully protected. In order to obtain asset protection, you have to make sure you have this put in place before you are sued, otherwise it can be considered fraudulent conveyance. Clint discusses LLCs and other entities he thinks you should set up with each of your properties. How many LLCs or corporations do you think Clint recommends having? Not only is it good to have asset protection and some sort of LLC or corporation set up for your business, but investors should also have a tax planning strategy. Learn how to optimize your tax returns and learn about the tax benefits real estate investors should be taking advantage of. Tune in now to hear from Clint!

Real Estate Trends, with Kevin Ortner

Kevin Ortner, with Renters Warehouse, is on air with Abhi for their weekly discussion. They dabble in a little bit of everything, and start off the show with opportunity zones. We’ve discussed it a lot in the prior shows and people might be a little confused, but it’s all about how you can invest your capital gains tax. Senior assisted living has been a major trend lately and there have been a lot of opportunities as the baby boomers make their way into assisted living. Kevin says there will be a continued increase in demand and you will be seeing a lot more going up around plenty of cities. Single-family homes are even being converted into assisted living facilities and they are seeing a great return on their investments. There are a few ways you can approach this investment and Kevin thinks if you are interested in it, now is the time to invest. The impact from the government shutdown could have a minor impact. Although it has come to an end for now, there could be a temporary hold on home-buying for government employees. He said it is a “blip on the radar,” in regards to the real estate world, and Abhi encourages listeners that is shouldn’t have a long-term impact on real estate investors.
