Summary

Today I've invited Jules Haas on the show to talk real estate entity selection and estate planning.

Jules has an especially interesting perspective given where he lives and practices law: downtown New York City.

We discuss:

  • how to decide if you should own real estate within an entity or not
  • how to own real estate with maximum privacy (and why it's important)
  • estate considerations for different methods of ownership

Enjoy!
