What’s Happening at Atlanta REIA – April 4, 2022

Monday, April 4th @ 7PM – 9PM  (ONLINE MEETING): The Real FLIP CHICKS is now meeting ONLINE ONLY on the 1st Monday of each month at 7PM on Zoom Webinar.

This month’s guest speaker and topic will be Frank Yacenda on Why It’s Important to Hold Real Estate Through Entities (and not in your own name). Register for the Webinar Now!

It’s all too common that real estate investors rush into deals, holding properties in their own names. And that works fine – until a tenant, guest, or stranger falls and breaks a leg or a service supplier files a law suit. Then the importance of holding investment properties in the name of an entity – usually a limited liability company, an LLC – becomes evident. By then it’s too late, and all of the investor’s personal assets become exposed to litigation and a potential judgment.

In his presentation, Frank Yacenda will explain why it’s important to hold investment properties in the name of an entity, what states provide the best asset protection and why, and why it’s neither rocket science, difficult, nor costly to set up entities through which you can do business.

He’ll explain different ways of structuring entities to meet your individual asset protection goals, the potentially positive and negative tax implications of doing business through entities, and things entities can and can’t accomplish. At the end of his formal presentation Frank will answer any questions attendees have.

Topics to be Covered in the Presentation:

• Why invest through an entity?
• The different kinds of entities, and which one is best for which purpose.
• What the leading states are for registering a company, and why Wyoming is the best choice for most investors to register parent entities.
• Why you also need to register in states where you hold investment properties, and how that is best accomplished.
• Different ways of structuring investment entities – Good, Better, and Best asset protection.
• Tax implications of different entities and structures.
• Obtaining investment finance through an entity.
