Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Today, we're chatting with real estate attorney and fellow investor Bonnie Galam about the nuances of asset protection.

You'll also learn about the potential pitfalls of equity partnerships, how personal events can put your properties at risk, and why car insurance and prenups matter more for your portfolio than you might think. Asset protection doesn't have to be complicated, but it does need to be strategic, and this episode will help you prioritize what's important now, what can wait, and how to create a legal framework that evolves as your real estate portfolio grows! In This Episode We Cover: Two sides of asset protection to focus on when starting a real estate business Three actionable steps new investors can take to protect their assets today Why you need to create an estate plan (even if you don't have rentals yet!)

It's an episode replete with lots of useful information for anyone in real estate.  Bonnie Galam is a real estate investor, real estate attorney, and founder of Landlord Law School. Bonnie and her husband built a multimillion-dollar rental portfolio by their late 20s in the greater Philadelphia area. Bonnie founded her law firm, a boutique real estate practice serving in NJ and PA, with a mission to serve investors. Through her law firm, Bonnie noticed that real estate investors were coming to her to solve problems rather than prevent them. She knew from her own experience that it was because the existing law firm model didn't serve investors. So Bonnie created landlord law school, the only DIY asset protection course for real estate investors to help prevent law suits, preserve generational wealth, and securely scale their investing business.  To download your free Real Estate Deal Analyzer just head to https://jlmrealestateinc.com/free-product/. With this guide, you'll be able to easily understand your real estate deals.  Here is what to expect on this week's show: Background information on Bonnie and how she went into real estate law after being a real estate attorney.

The work we do comes with so many rewards, right? But with those rewards inevitably come risks. No matter how good you are, you will come face to face with a big fat lawsuit at some point. Yuck!  I know! Not the sexiest topic in the world, but these things happen, and when they do, we need to handle them powerfully and intelligently. How would you handle lawsuits? In this episode, we'll break down a couple of ways you can look into it, how it can affect you either positively or negatively, and what we've learned from our own experience. The best way to handle lawsuits is not necessarily to always spend energy to prevent them but to set up protections and strategies before they come as you grow and scale your business.  So let's dive in and get into the nitty-gritty to learn how to powerfully handle a lawsuit.  Quotes • “One thing I know for sure is that if you are growing your business and your portfolio, pivoting, building teams, dealing with different contractors… you will face a lawsuit at some point. That's just part of doing business.” (1:39 - 2:07) • “The first thing that I will recommend is: you're going to look into asset protection strategies as you grow your business.” (3:07 - 3:13) • “I'm gonna tell you right now that you are not your lawsuit.” (4:12 - 4:16) • “I know this is a big statement to say, but you should celebrate, when you get sued, you should celebrate.

When you get into the real estate space with no experience but tons of determination, it's a recipe for some incredible lessons to be learned along the way if you can adjust and move forward.  Originally from Albania, Arvi Carkanji started investing in real estate right out of college after finding out about it, and no matter the missteps never looked back. She bought her first flip in 2019, renovated it, sold it and broke even. She then got a 2nd flip and a 3rd one, in which she ended up house hacking.  After 3 years of wholesaling and flipping deal after deal, Arvi, and her fiancé, realized that they were 50 deals in without having started with any experience!  Since then, Arvi took her experience and started laying the foundation to scale her business, Money Making Duo, focusing on marketing and creating wealth for others. She now has a team of 10 people who play crucial roles in the company.  In this episode, we're going to break down every lesson Arvi learned into actionable steps that will help you scale! So tune in and learn from her journey of wholesaling and flipping 50 deals in 3 years with no experience.  Quotes • “I was like, you know what, I can do this. Whatever comes my way, I'm just gonna handle it.” (12:46 - 12:50) • “The first thing that I learned is that I'm not good with contractors or handling budgets, you know, and inspections and all this other stuff. So I was like, I need somebody to help me do all of this.” (14:20 - 14:30) • “So the main thing I did when it came to - alright, like this is serious, stop with all the BS; is to have a central system to handle all my leads.” (21:35 - 21:45) • “Whether it's cold calling, or direct mail, or whatever it is, just be consistent in that. Whether it's 100 leads that you're calling a day or a week, just keep doing it, don't stop doing it, because that's going to convert into deals.” (26:43 - 26:57) • “I always consider marketing as like the bloodline of the business and sales is like your brain. The two can not function without each other.” (29:08 - 29:15) • “Hiring is so very crucial for your company and part of the foundation. If you have everything else in place, but you have the wrong person in the wrong position, it's still gonna cost you money.” (35:53 - 36:05)     Connect with Arvi Carkanji: IG: @arvi.carkanji Website: https://moneymakingduo.com/  Book recommendation:  The E-Myth Real Estate Agent The Simplifier-Multiplier  3 DAY VIRTUAL EVENT on Dec. 6th, 7th, and 8th!

The Landlord Law School with Bonnie Galam

We're kicking off season 3 with Bonnie Galam of Landlord Law School™! Bonnie became interested in real estate investing during law school, and now self-manages 100+ units with her husband, along with her own firm, podcast, and website, offering templates and trainings for new investors. WHEW...its not clear when she sleeps. We talk about her journey into investing and using the BRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) strategy. Though we both agree it feels like everyone and their mother is getting into real estate, we know there are still deals to be found! I ask Bonnie what its really like working primarily with student housing: Do the tenants pay their rent? Is everything just always covered in beer? But it sounds like student housing isn't as intimating as I thought (although wood floors are a MUST). I have a list of legal questions for Bonnie including: - “I just went online and formed my own LLC…is that terrifying?” -Do you need an LLC per property? -When's the best time to form your LLC? -How should I tighten up my lease terms? We take a deep dive into LLCs and I ask her about the Series LLC. Bonnie teaches offensive asset protection methods, like getting everything in writing, good contracts, estate planning, etc. I learn that you can often get lease templates from attorneys and its more cost effective than having your attorney look at your existing lease. Every year Bonnie does an “asset protection self-audit” and asks herself “What didn't work this year? How can I tighten up my lease to prevent this going forward?”. Bonnie is a wealth of information and offers so much information through her podcast, website and her Landlord Law School™ included in the links below. I have a feeling you'll want to listen to this one and take notes! I feel smarter now after recording this podcast with such as fellow boss lady, love her and some killer #lawyershit Find Bonnie: https://www.bonniegalam.com/ podcast: Good Bones Real Estate Investing Tools Mentioned: https://kajabi.com/ www.avail.co www.appfolio.com www.anchor.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nerdsguidetofi/support

You can't have the asset protection that comes from an LLC, and then not act like an LLC. On today's episode, we talk with Bonnie Galam, investor and real estate attorney, on how to proactively protect you real estate assets and self-manage a large portfolio. LLCs don't stop lawsuits from happening. They are there to protect you in the event one arises. But what can you be doing to prevent those types of losses to begin with? We discuss with Bonnie how you can operate your business to better protect your assets, the importance of having an annual asset, when you should and shouldn't self-manage, and lessons learned during the pandemic when it comes to landlording. Bonnie also shares a great process for finding out what your core genius is within your business.  Bonnie Galam is a real estate investor, real estate attorney, and founder of Landlord Law School. Bonnie and her husband built a multimillion-dollar rental portfolio by their late 20s in the greater Philadelphia area. Bonnie founded her law firm, a boutique real estate practice serving in NJ and PA, with a mission to serve investors. Through her law firm, Bonnie noticed that real estate investors were coming to her to solve problems rather than prevent them. She knew from her own experience that it was because the existing law firm model didn't serve investors. They simply weren't going to call their lawyer every time they worked with a contractor or communicated with a tenant. So Bonnie created landlord law school, the only DIY asset protection course for real estate investors to help prevent law suits, preserve generational wealth, and securely scale their investing business. Personally, Bonnie is a mom of 2 tiny tots - Elliot age 3 and Soleil age 1. She almost always has her nose in a book, is a certified yoga instructor and would always prefer to be at the beach. On today's episode, we discuss a ton with Bonnie including: Eviction alternatives Policies and best practice you can put in place to protect your assets How to avoid landlord horror stories The importance of having the right insurance in place The importance of treating an LLC like an LLC Books/Resources This is Marketing by Seth Godin Landlord Law School – Free 7-day access to module 1! https://bonniegalam.mykajabi.com/a/39387/azzzfVaz   Contact Information Email - bonnie@bonniegalam.com Instagram - @bonniegalamesq We are so excited to share that we are hosting a free 3-day live event called the Top Producer Challenge!
