Summary

The number one problem most real estate investors face today is knowing “how to protect” not “what to protect.”  Caught between attorneys, tax professionals, and self-proclaimed gurus, the average real estate investor finds himself awash in the quagmire of information and ideas with little coherency or consistency. Unfortunately, the reality is that most professionals do not understand the complex nature of real estate asset protection from the legal and tax perspective.  As a result you are left with a piece-meal plan based upon a fragmented stream of advice that seldom allows you to feel secure in your planning. In this episode we talk to asset protection attorney Clint Coons to examine some of the entities and strategies used by real estate investors to protect their wealth. Clint is a successful real estate investor and the manager of Anderson Business Advisors and Law Group.

Welcome to passive real estate investing, the show where busy people learn how to build substantial

0:18.3

passive income. Today's show is about asset protection. Now that may sound dry to a lot of people but it's actually a

0:25.6

critically important subject matter but why is asset protection important? What is it? Why do you need

0:32.2

it and how do you achieve it? Actually I find the subject somewhat confusing, at least I have over the years, but I've spent a lot of time studying the topic and reading books and learning what I can.

0:43.0

And what I've learned, unfortunately,

0:44.4

not in the beginning, but later on,

0:45.9

is that there are two important sides

0:48.0

to asset protection.

0:49.2

There's the legal side, but then there's the tax side.

0:52.3

And a lot of people and subject matter experts really don't pay attention a whole lot to the tax side of the equation, but they're really two sides of the same coin.

1:01.0

You can ask a hundred people, their opinions about this subject, and you'll get a hundred answers. They're not going to be exactly the same, and that part makes it rather confusing. Asset protection is really not a one-size-fits-all subject.

1:14.0

It's more about controlling everything but appearing to own nothing.

1:19.0

And that is probably the most important thing I learned about the objective of asset protection is

1:24.9

control everything but appear to own nothing.

1:29.0

So today's guest is someone who I've known for many years. He's a very smart guy and I wanted to bring him on the show because he really understands this subject and he understands both sides of the coin, the legal aspect as well as the tax aspect of it.

1:44.9

So he spends his time putting together strategic solutions for real estate investors that are

1:50.7

looking for asset protection and it could be something as simple as setting up an entity like an LLC or as complex as someone owning hundreds of units that wants that generational income and wealth to pass on to their heirs.

2:05.0

So before we get to that interview, we're going to take a quick 25 second break and I'll be right back with our guest Clint Coons.
