I know people paying cash in multiple states so theoretically it "cash flows" but I'm not a fan of paying cash Can you do MTR or STR in Fresno to traveling medical workers or corporate professionals so you have less negative CF vs.

I've also heard some lawyers question whether or not the corporate veil is pierced by having the deed in an LLC and the mortgage in your name.  

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline to file Individual, Trust, and C-Corporation returns is today.

He's here this weekend for actually two days: Friday p.m. from 3 to 6 he'll be talking about using QuickBooks in your REI business and Saturday from 9am to 5pm he'll be talking about building your entity structures for tax advantage, asset protection and estate planning, including how to pay your minor children without also having to pay SUTA, FUTA, FICA, etc. for them.I can't do this justice not being a legal / financial professional, but from what I remember, you DO NOT WANT to pay them out of an S-Corp or an LLC.

I don't know about Texas but in North Carolina about 75% of the time you can find the LLC's owner name and home address by doing the following:Go to your secretary of state website (state not national)Look up the corporation nameAt least 75% of the time the LLC owner will register with themselves as the registered agent and their home address as the mailing address.If this doesn't work you're probably looking at more trouble than it is worth.

Thus, the investment grows like it's sitting in a roth 401k/IRA       Then when you die, your heir gets a step-up in basis, thus eliminating all the prior capital gains over decades, but only up to 13.6 mil this year :(              Debt Funds (like mortgage note investing) can also be very lucrative but I don't know/understand the tax savings/issues in that class yet, still learning :)              Equity REIT investing can give you great siloed real estate exposure in 11 major asset class sub-types, but don't offer the direct tax benefits as direct RE ownership does above, as the REIT gets those benefits when it transacts and as a corporation passes those benefits secondarily/indirectly onwards to us investors as high dividends and gradual stock price appreciation.

We also sleep a lot and get up without an alarm clock, which after 20 years in corporate america has been probably my biggest luxury.

A few years later a divorce attorneycame by, pierced the veil of my corporation and wiped me out.

@Micah Markowitz I did look over the Midwest Corporate Credit website.

for some reason REITs have never been a sexy asset class, older investors look at REITs as a weird-bond and wonder why own something with 4-5% dividend when they can own Investment Grade corporates at 5-6% or even recently US treasuries at 5%, and young investors don't even know what they are.yet they acquire class A real estate, the kind you and I can't due to price, the kind that has the best capital appreciation in great areas long term, and they have access to credit at lower rates than us, or they can just print shares and get new capital for free that way, to buy more great properties, They can pay for the best management, they don't ever pay brokerage fees either in or out (have everything in -house), and they generally have much lower risk as most of their portfolios are leveraged at only about 30-40% LTV, and we have zero personal liability when owning them as opposed to the litigation headaches we get with direct RE, and right now they collectively are on sale about 25-50% below their NAVs at lowest valuation since 2008, as opposed to SP500 at all time highs.
