Doug is back this month to talk all about asset protection, estate planning and buying with entities such as trusts, LLCs, corporations and more!
If you have significant assets of any type, you are a target for a lawsuit! You need to know more about asset protection. Enjoy greater privacy, limits on your personal liability, as well as tax benefits through the use of entities such as LLC’s, corporations and trusts.
In today’s litigious society, you need only one person unhappy with your business, one injured tenant, one disgruntled individual to ruin all that you have worked for by going to a plaintiff’s lawyer to see how they can get to everything you own. If you are sued, you could lose your business, its equipment and vehicles, your personal automobiles, your home, your rental properties . . . anything that you own in your own name. Read More→

The strategies are simple,cost effective, and produce amazing results. Jeff will show you fully automated lead generation campaigns that find hard to locate homeowners who yield big profits. He also uses a virtual team of assistants to mine data and is willing to share scripts, letters and strategies he uses in his brokerage office in St Augustine to drive calls into his office.

This is a Once in a Generation Opportunity
Posted on May 12, 2011 byRecently, while having lunch, I bumped into a realtor friend. She asked how things were going. Then, leaning forward, asked, “Are you and Kim going to survive this terrible real estate market?” It’s funny how many times we’ve been asked this question.
Folks, Jack Miller– one of my primary real estate investing teachers (God rest his wise soul) – said it best: “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity!” By this, he means that there has never been a better time to buy investment real estate.
Think about it. When was the last time you saw (1) So many homes sitting unsold on the market; (2) So few buyers looking for homes; (3) Home prices this low; (4) Interest rates this low; (5) Sellers this motivated; (6) Banks with so many properties in inventory; (7) This many foreclosures each month, and (8) Lenders so eager to agree to a Short Sale? The simple answer is – NEVER!!! Read More→
