For today’s episode, it’s everyone’s favorite topic… asset protection. Don’t groan. This is important.
Our guest, Scott Smith, is an attorney and real estate investor. He advises that asset protection is the best way to maximize your returns.
Statistically, real estate investors (and just about every American) will get sued at some time.
Holding real estate in your own name means someone who’s suing you can find out exactly what assets you have using public records.
Attorneys can set up anonymity trusts – land trusts or agent trusts that mask ownership. People won’t follow through with a suit if no money can be collected.
Make yourself judgment-proof.
Listen and learn…
