In this episode, I have the opportunity to sit down with someone that has digested and synthesize the tax code and brings the tax saving secrets to you. Grant  Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Financial investing radio. So today I have with me someone that just barely met. But as I review, his biography, his profile what he does, it is in one of those places, which I admittedly know so little about, I lean on so many people for help in this area. Now I get to meet with and speak with an expert in the area of how to take it to the tax man. All right, let me welcome Mark Meyers here today. Welcome, Mark. Mark Hey, thank you so much, Grant, I'm excited to chat with you about this. And, you know, hey, if you can keep more of that hard earned profit. It definitely helps in the wealth accumulation realm for sure. So this exciting topic. Grant Boy, for sure. You know, when when you think about taxes and talking about taxes, you know, it's probably right up there with flossing your teeth, right? It's like, oh, everyone should be doing it. Right. But oh, my gosh, do I really want to talk about taxes. Turns out, as I was reviewing some things that you have done to help people, individuals, businesses, really reduce their tax burden. And putting that money, like you said, or leaving that money back in your pocket, suddenly, it becomes really an interesting topic to address. But before you give away any secrets, let's back up. How is it that you got interested in taxes? What is it that even got you to this point?  Mark Grant, you know, it's an interesting story, because I started out my career at the University of Florida, with as an undergrad in exercise physiology, get my Master's in sports management, moved to New York City to manage health clubs, and then moved to Los Angeles to edit, manage more health clubs. And in the process of doing that, I helped a really large high end brand, open a number of different locations. And in that they were they went from a 10 clubs to over 100 clubs. And in that process, I really learn to be an owner operator, every club that I would open or go chant, you know, help return around, I'd have to really be mindful of driving revenue, minimizing expenses, putting the operations in in place, you know, the best practices in place to get the best output. And of course, I was compensated on EBIT margin, so I'd get a base, and then I'd have cash bonus based off of how profitable is the company process, I realized, you know, hey, I might be running health clubs. And I might have a background here, but I have a knack for running companies. And I know there's a lot more opportunity in the financial markets in the financial world, particular to consulting with business owners, that's when I said the light came on after, you know, working well over a decade, you know, 365 days a year, and these clubs are open from, you know, five in the morning till 12 At night, you know, they never got hit. So I'm like, Okay, I'm going to shift gears here and do something fun that can ultimately help other people, and also helped me kind of increase my income opportunity here. Get out of this glass ceiling environment. Grant Yeah. So So you are living this life of just constantly being on right, the lights on, right, because your clubs are on right, the gyms are open, and so you're trying to optimize as much as possible. Talk about school, hard knocks, right? I mean, you learn the lessons along the way, for sure, right? Oh, for sure. Mark I mean, it's one of those things where you know, every penny counts, particularly in that industry. And of course, I worked in a higher end layer. So it was, you know, we're looking at 200 plus dollar a month memberships with spa packages and training and Pilates and Yoga. But at the same time, you still have to be mindful of your margins. That's really, really important. So it was it was a nice experience. It was a nice way to understand how to really learn the p&l, learn the people, learn the drivers, and then of course transitioned over to say, hey, I can speak to business owners, I could speak to those that are looking to, you know, increase efficiency. And there's a lot of opportunity there. So that's kind of where this all kicked off. Grant So in the course of doing this, you start uncovering, I'm assuming, oh, here's a little secret about how I could save a little more money or take some out of the taxes. I imagine over a period of time you started to build up this cadre, or list of or selection of wait, here's some best practices of actually taking the tax back from the tax man and leaving it with you. There's it was it was it that it was a 10 year journey that you invested in to build up that knowledge base? It sounds like, Right? Mark Absolutely. And you know, you really said something important, and it was very accurate in that my, my getting to where I am now didn't happen overnight. In particularly shifting gears, I'd say the last seven or eight years is when I really really shifted gears, to not just talk about can I just not consult with with individuals on their businesses and help them with maybe some financial planning, really shifting gears and saying, hey, there are a lot of different opportunities to reduce tax. And I just went out there. And just like in the past, in my first few years of this, I was kind of more of an advanced insurance specialist and consultant to business owners, and I could go out there and work with any insurance carrier. And I could basically look and say, you know, this is the carrier need for this solution. And this is why this is I realized I could do the same thing in the tax realm, there's just not 100 different, you know, tax savings providers out there, there's probably about 20 to 30 that you want to do business with. And these are small groups are generally fairly boutique, they're not huge. And they offer something very, very specific. And it's somewhere in the 70,000 pages of tax code. And they just so happened to analyze it, apply it. And basically, that's their gig key. So I have a lot of different tools in the tool chest, I have a lot of different relationships with groups that do these things. And I break when I do consulting work, I just put all the pieces of the puzzle together. And it's really cool. I'm not a CPA, I'm not a tax attorney, I'm really literally I call myself a tax savings architect, I've just developed this ability to consult, oh, that's a great title.  Grant Wait, say that title again, you're a what? Mark A tax savings architect, Oh, I love it together, I just build I build the plan. And then I bring the vendors in, right, the right team on the on the coach, I'm bringing the right team in to put the right plays in at the right times. And then the implementation goes, you know, off, you know, from there. Grant So, what I want to highlight is you have developed this by doing it again and again, maybe making a mistake fixing it again and again, oh, learning more again, and you put in that 10 year effort to gather and build that experience and that that's the value platform that you bring to the people so they're not off doing 10 years of learning the lessons, right? Mark Oh, for sure. Grant, I'll tell you, these are types of things that, you know, people don't have time, even the best CPAs right. And you can think about any CPA out there, you've got out of every 10 You're gonna have to my experience, you're gonna have two out of 10 that have developed their practice in a way that they'll have forward looking have a forward looking approach. And they'll have more bandwidth than just, you know, recording and tracking and filing right most of them record track and file. Do you have any more expenses? Are you sure you don't have any more you know, you can buy this capital, we get section 179 it so why don't you spend $1 to save 35 cents? No, that's, that's really a good idea if you need what you're buying. But two out of 10 are forward looking right? They're actually stepping outside of the box and seeing what's out there. They're 70,000 pages of tax code. So this is where the key is at 10 years, you're talking about their 70,000 pages of tax code you if you're going to win a championship. If you're a team think about a just a collegiate team or a professional team. They have multiple coaches. They have strength coaches, they have quarterback coaches that are talking about football they have offensive line coaches defensive line coaches look at businesses the reason why Amazon and Microsoft and General Electric and Nike and DuPont the reason why they pay significantly lower taxes than the average individual is because they have teams they have accounting teams, more than one CPA, they have attorneys they have business strategists. So this is what I really do is I bring that team approach to the small to medium size business owner or you don't even have to be a small to medium sized business owner to have tax savings you can be a high income earning executive. Oh really how to Matt navigate the tax code. There's things that you can do to reduce your tax. Grant Okay, so that gets the the question I was gonna ask around who is this for? Definitely the business owner. But if you're, if you're in the High Net Worth areas and individual this is applicable to you as well. Mark Absolutely. There's three there's three He kind of avenues, business owners. And the reason why is business owners are great to work with because they have control over their income, they can determine how much salary they take, they can determine how they take their income. It really they have the control. The other side would be high income earning executives that maybe don't have as much control but they're they're looking at, you know, half a million dollars or more of taxable income per year. I can work with business owners with much less I mean, they can have as low as 250 or so in taxable income, okay, because the more there's more flexibility. And then the Third Avenue is people that are selling highly appreciated assets, once a lot of crypto traders or somebody that had a stock portfolio, but they didn't have this huge blend, it wasn't like a qualified account, it was just a brokerage account, they had positions that just blew up, and now they're sitting on, you know, $5 million with Apple stock. Well, if they pull the trigger on it, they're looking at, you know, if they're California 37%. Grant Yeah, goodbye to that.  Mark Yeah, well, I can help them, you know, really take care of that as well either eliminated or different depending on what solutions we're looking at. Grant So, okay, what about what about on the, on the inheritance side, same same sort of story. In other words, let's say you inherited something is you have techniques that helps with that group as well. Mark Well, on the inheritance side, I don't spend a lot of time there, because generally, that should be done prior to and a lot of the work that I do actually blends in with maybe some estate planning attorneys, because you really want to solve that equation prior to the need. If you don't, then unfortunately, if you're above the exemption rate, the estate tax man will come take, you know, 60% of that from your kids, right? Not from you, but from your kids and your loved ones. And they might even have to be, they might have to sell appreciate it like this is a real estate high net worth real estate holder, they're selling off real estate just to pay the estate tax, which is never a good thing. So we when it comes to the gifting and the you know passing on to heirs, we generally integrate that into our planning, but we're doing it prior to so that way the kids and their loved ones can breathe, you know, sleep well at night and not have to worry too much about worrying too much about about that sort of thing.  Grant So so let's take the scenario of you're a small and medium business owner and you've got the you've got this tax burden on you. Do you need to be doing the work ahead of time? Is this a whole year of effort that the business owner goes through? Whether they have to be intentional throughout the whole year? Or do your practices, techniques allow you to just sort of come in at the last minute and who 30% off? Thanks, Mark. Have a great year? Mark Yes, well, I would say a little bit of all apply. But proactive forward looking is always the best. The best approach is a forward looking approach. Now I can do hindsight foresight, and then give you insight. On the hindsight we're always looking at, well, what did you miss that you can go back and pick up a lot of people don't realize, particularly in business, there's tax credits that they can pick up in previous years. Currently, right now for the next few months. There's the employee retention tax credit. So there's there's r&d credits, there's there's trends for investing in renewable energy, they can go backwards and pick up previous taxes paid, it's always look at the hindsight, what can we pick up that you paid in the last year or two or three? Ford, Ford sight? Or, you know, foresight is okay, what can we do to change the trajectory of your current income? Because right now, the way we're always looking at pathways, how are you taking your income, because what we need to do is look at creating new pathways. And if you have different pathways to receive the same income, there might be a different taxable situation. But those pathways aren't going to save you. You can't save any money until the pathway is created. So the foresight we're always looking at, well, this is how much money you're taking in now. And you've taken it in one pathway, or maybe two pathways, and this is your taxable outcome. But what if we created two additional pathways? Now you have four pathways, and we're not talking about deferring it. And putting into qualified accounts. I'm not talking about any of that, obviously, that's been going on for years and years and years is there's arguments as to whether or not that really is saving them anything. At the end of the day, we're talking about really taking tax law and the tax code by the horns and saying, hey, the tax code says I can do this, therefore, this money is not taxable. Right. So now that you have this money in your hand, that's not taxable you and you've lowered your adjusted gross income because you took a portion of your money that the tax code says is not taxable because of the way that you've structured it structure that we've just just decreased your taxes and you're like liquid, like the money that you save is liquid, it's in your pocket. If you want to use that for investing you can if you want to use that to recapitalize your business you can if you want to use that to go to Vegas, you can. Grant Yeah, your choice and that's the whole point. It's your choice rather than Uncle Sam. So the strategy seems to be tell me if I've got this right. It's don't fire your CPA because you're going to keep The CPA as a business owner, because you're not the CPA, but what you are bringing is a way to be more productive as you work with the CPA, right, you're bringing in additional knowledge or insight that will then be brought into those conversations with the CPA currently have is that close 100%. Mark And what I always like to tell business owners, and right off the bat is, you know, let's, let's not put your CPA on defense mode, right? They, there's no CPA out there that has the bandwidth, to have this time to vet and research all these different ways to save taxes. I mean, they know a lot, but because they may not know everything that I'll bring to the table, that's okay. So the first thing is make sure that they're not on the defense. And also, I'm not looking to take over any bookkeeping, your tax filing or tax prep, I'm just looking to add additional layers that usually increase revenue for the accounting because it usually does increase their need to maybe have an additional filing each year, or maybe some additional bookkeeping to take to oversee these new solutions.  Grant So it's all day for you as a partner in it, your they don't see you as Oh, I'm here taking business from 100%. Mark Most of the time, when I'm speaking to the right CPAs. And I'm introduced to them by the taxpayer, I get introduced to three or four new clients that the CPA has, because they're like, this is great, I have you know, four or five, or depending on the CPA, they might work with a higher net worth individuals, they might have more, but I like those relationships, because they open the door for more opportunity. Now, I will say there's going to be out of that regard every 10 CPAs, there's two that are for thinking. And there's eight that are really just doing the numbers really doing the prep the recording and filing and prepping. Sometimes the eight, there could be some resistance there. And it's it's, it's only because they don't know what they don't know. So in those situations, hey, I always say it's up to you. It's up to the taxpayer, that you're the decision maker, the CPA is not the decision maker. And I have you know, I never want to pry someone away from their CPA, but if they really liked what I'm talking about under CPAs, just very resistant, doing anything that they're outside of their norm was to have dozens and dozens of CPAs all over the nation that would be very happy to interview you. Or you could interview them because they know the solutions and their clients use them. Grant Yeah, I was gonna ask you. So how does you know? What's some guidance for our listeners on? How do you pick? How do you find those two out of the 10? CPAs? Right? What are some of the key things that someone's looking for? to vet your CPA or while you're searching for someone to say, now you're you're part of the 80%? It's you you're actually not going to help me as much I'm looking for the 20% What What are some tips you have? Mark Yeah, first thing Grant is ask them if they do quarterly meetings. If the CPA or the tax preparer for you is not meeting with you quarterly, they are not forward looking, they're likely going to say hey, let's meet in might not even be before the end of the year, it might be in like January or February to say tell me what you have, is that all the expenses you have? Are you sure because we need to file. But if they even if they're only meeting once per year, at the end of the year, and just trying to figure out, okay, we need to shove a little bit more in the qualified account. And maybe you can have any more, you know, maybe you can buy some more capital equipment. That is not, you know, I'm not saying that's well, let me just say this, that is not the accounting, that that someone needs as they're climbing, the echelon of income, if they're still using that CPA, when they're climbing that income bracket, they are going to be paying retail taxes. When everybody else that has reached that level. When they get to a certain level of of success. They figured out how to pay wholesale sales, no different. There's no different there's a retail price, and there's a wholesale price and the people that pay the wholesale price go above and beyond and look for the coupons where the coupons they're in the tax code. Awesome. The IRS is not saying I'm giving out all day. Yeah, they're not putting a flyer out your mail.  Grant Wait a minute, are you saying there's no mobile app that they could the tax code mobile app with coupons? I think we should build that. That's a great I should yeah, that's my app.  Mark Together Grant. Grant  Let's go build that. I bet there's a market for that. Mark Okay. I would bet there is as well. Yeah, absolutely. Grant I love that idea. Okay, so there's something I saw on your profile that intrigued me many things intrigued me and one of those. I just gotta read this off here. Because when I read it, I was like, Where do I sign? It? It was it was learn how to get the IRS to fund a portion of your retirement 100% tax free. So like, right next to the mobile app. We just talked about developing there's this also. Okay, tell me all right. We want the IRS to fund a portion of our retirement 100% tax free any secrets you can share on that? Mark You know, there's a I'll, I won't give everything away, right? I want people to want to ask me some questions. But I will say this, there's a few different ways to do it. One of the ways is when you find these tax savings, right, when there's that when you're applying the code that's going to basically give you a deduction, right? Because there's codes I can actually, you know, there's a little golf tournament. Here's a nice secret out there. A lot of people know about this, but let's a lot of people don't as well, golf tournament out there. It's been going on for years and years and years. And the winner gets a green jacket. I'm not sure if you're a golfing fan. Oh, sure. Or Yep. If you know, who gets the green jacket every year, you know, there there is somewhere in Georgia and a little town. That's right. And it's a very prestigious golf tournament. So about 60 years ago, the higher net worth individuals that lived around that, that golf course realize that they could rent their homes to the corporation's coming in that were or anyone coming in that wanted to, you know, watch the tournament, and they could rent their homes for significantly more than they would you know, what would cost them to go have a little nice vacation? So in that process, they said, Well, these are our personal residence. This is not a this is not an income property. So they lobby to the their friends and Senate and said, Hey, we're not renting our this is not an income producing property. But we're not getting any deductions on this. We're not getting any tax benefits. But so can we have some benefits. So they basically the Congress, and there's two tax codes that validate this, you can rent your personal residence for up to a certain number of days per year. And the dollars that you receive for that rent is tax free, as long as you don't rent your home for over a certain number of days. Now, here's where it gets fun grant, because some people don't want strangers in their house. Right? So even if they could rent their house for significantly more than they could go do something else. They don't want to Airbnb their house, what if they're a business owner? Well, can they rent their business? Can they rent their house to their business for business purposes? Using the same tax code? Absolutely. Now, we just have to determine what the value is, and put it in your bot and your minutes and ultimately integrate it and know, now when you create those deductions, right? Because if you're renting your house, from your business, and you create a deduction at the business level, but didn't cost you anything at the personal level, or the business level, maybe there's a, you know, maybe the meeting you did was whatever, you know, lunch, well, you just created deductions with no cost, no cost. Now that tax savings now the tax savings is getting to you from that's where you're funding your retirement tax free from the IRS because those that those dollars are non taxable. Now, if you get them into a Roth, if you get them into a cash value life insurance policy, you're never paying the taxes again. So now you're looking at never even paying taxes again after you didn't pay the taxes on it to begin with. Okay, that was one little nugget. Grant That's you know, would you just drop the mic on that? You're not holding in my car? Yeah, yeah. Mark No, but if I dropped it, it might fall off my desk. Grant I might, I might fall off that. Yeah, I tell you, Mark, that that was awesome. Just following that flow of what you articulated. I think that's a beautiful thing. Okay. So let me ask you this. With all that you're doing, and with all that people are coming to you for? How do they engage with you? How do they dial it? How they interact with you? How do they how do they say I'm a good candidate for you? Where do they go to find out more about you?

About Jennifer GrimsonI was a single mother who lost everything; I found myself with no money, no job, no car, no place to live and the sole support for my two children...TWICE.  I knew that I had to rebuild again. This time, instead of just looking for a job with a big paycheck, I was going to find a way to grow my money. I envisioned creating a series of income producing “micro empires” that would protect me, my family and my assets.  I felt like I was running out of time; I was in my 40s, with zero retirement funds, no assets and no clue how to begin.After struggling to pay bills and stay above water, I wasn't about to follow the advice of a blogger in a coffee shop telling me to ‘quit my job' and ‘follow my dreams'.  I also couldn't get what I needed  from established billionaires whose advice was too broad.  I needed concrete steps that I could easily follow and I didn't know where to begin or where to turn.Over the next 4 years, I took tiny, actionable steps that moved me in the direction of these goals.  I surrounded myself with the right people and took calculated, educated moves. I did not quit my job. I did not win the lottery. I did not get an inheritance.  I manipulated my 401k, I learned about new vehicles for investments, I used my paycheck, I used my HSA, I used the tools I had at hand at the time. I took micro-risks.At the end of these 4 years, I had over $1.4m in income producing properties, had become a hard money lender and had invested in private technology companies.  I realized that I had created my own micro empire!The goal of the Micro-Empires Podcast is to provide those real life steps and tools to create and grow your micro empires.  I will bring in experts, take your questions and share my experiences.This podcast is about YOU.  We all have a story; whether your story is a lot like mine or totally different. Maybe you have a good job, but you know in your heart that you want more.  Maybe you just want to expand in the work you're doing now.  Maybe you want to retire early or have more financial security.  Maybe you are just getting started and you're 50 and you're worried it's too late.  No matter what your story is, there is a path to building your own empire.

Check it out below: [00:00:00] Bernard Pierson:  I mean, there's great benefits of investment with a huge operator, right? There's nothing wrong with that. There's plenty of good big shops that you can invest with and get good returns. But if you want to do this actively you're going to need relationships. This is a very relationship driven business and networking is, great. And one way that worked for me at least to network and build relationships was to invest passively with other operators first.  [00:00:33] Sam Wilson: Bernard Pierson has been in real estate for 10 years. He started off in development and has since transitioned to full-time multifamily investing and syndication. Bernard, welcome to the show.  [00:00:43] Bernard Pierson: Thanks, Sam. Happy to be here.  [00:00:44] Sam Wilson: Hey, the pleasure's mine. There's three questions I ask every guys who comes to the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:00:52] Bernard Pierson: I started in, I used to do food brokering. That was basically, I mean, I had a job out of college for, W2 for one year, but right into, you know, pretty soon I, I quit. I was an accounting job. I was bored out of my mind, so I quit. So I like to say I started off with food brokering, which is kind of like my entrepreneurial path that I took. We did pretty well. [00:01:11] Bernard Pierson: Very transactional. And I figured that out pretty quickly. And that's how I found real estate and ended up partnering with some guys that, great guys, great partners that had experience. And that's how I got into development. And we did some developments in Latin America specifically Nicaragua and Costa Rica. [00:01:29] Bernard Pierson: And I've then transitioned over the last five years or so, just a full-time multifamily investing in the US. Because I found out that there was a lot of risk and a lot of things that I was not thinking about before that Latin America exposed us to basically. So yeah. I think that was around 90 seconds. [00:01:48] Sam Wilson: No, I think that was perfect. Well done. Thank you. Yeah. Food brokering. Can you, that doesn't mean anything to me. I'm just really curious. Can you give me a ten second highlight? What does that mean?  [00:01:59] Bernard Pierson: Yeah. So we would source the suppliers and, find buyers for beef. We get coffee, we did sugar. I'm from, I'm a half in Nicaraguan, part Nicaraguan part American. And I, I grew up in Nicaragua a lot of my life. I lived there from like six years old to 18. So I, just know a lot of people, it's a small country. It's a very agricultural country and a lot of food production. So that's how I got into that.  [00:02:23] Sam Wilson: Got it very, very cool.  [00:02:25] Bernard Pierson: Very transactional though 'cause it was, it was based on finding the seller and the buyer. And as technology, you know, and globalization has grown, the value of being that intermediary is, is not as, as valuable, I guess, anymore. So we used to have a transaction here and there where, and we used to make a lot of money on the transaction or good money. But it was very transactional. We weren't really building a, a sustainable long term business that would work without us being there.  [00:02:49] Sam Wilson: Let's jump into the next section of your story there. Developing in Latin America, it sounded like there were some risks or some lessons you learned the hard way. [00:03:00] Bernard Pierson: Oh yeah. There's two reason. I ended up going back to Latin in America. So when I was 18, I came to the US. I lived here for a long time. But when I got back into real estate, there was two things I was looking for. One was partnering with someone who had experience. [00:03:12] Bernard Pierson: So development, in my case, checked that box. My partners or my potential partners at the time had experience developing for many years in, in Latin America. And the other thing was going, in my case, I was going back to Nicaragua, originally, at least at the beginning. And this was home, right? [00:03:29] Bernard Pierson: It was a place I knew a lot of people. I knew my, the area very well. So I checked those two boxes. I was local to Nicaragua and, and I had partners with experience. The part I missed was Latin America can bring money risks that we, we just aren't aware of here in the US and those are specifically going to be politically and, or just political risk. And just the economy in itself is not as robust as it is here. Investments are going to be a lot less liquid. There's just a lot more risk in general. And I did a lot of research into that at that time, right? And I really found out that risk adjusted return, at least for me, or from my point of view or the analysis I did was a lot better in the US than in Latin America. [00:04:15] Sam Wilson: Right. So if I'm hearing you, right, you're saying that there was, you were taking on a lot of additional risk without the additional return that would be involved in assuming that additional risk. Was this something, when you were doing these development projects, is that where you cut your teeth in raising capital and bringing in outside investors? [00:04:33] Bernard Pierson: Most of our developments, what we would do was the seller of the land would get some sort of, we, we would creatively finance the deals where the seller of the land would some, that's either equity or, or maybe. I don't know if we were building a condo building on the seller's land. [00:04:49] Bernard Pierson: Well, then they would've got a condo or two, depending on the value, right, of the land in payment for, for their land. So we didn't really work with investors much. It, they didn't require tons of capital. A lot of the capital we put up, which was just a at risk capital of the preconstruction phase, which is the designs, the architectural work and all that stuff. [00:05:07] Bernard Pierson: The seller of the land put up most of the equity. An d then the bank put up the rest, which was just a construction, right., Or the, the bank would basically finance our hard cost. We would finance the soft cost and the seller would just finance the equity or the land.  [00:05:23] Sam Wilson: Got it. Got it. So you did a few of these projects. You said, man, there's way too much risk in that I see g reener pastures in investing in the United States multifamily markets. What did you do to transition into that space?  [00:05:36] Bernard Pierson: Right, so, the reason I found out was while I was developing in Latin America, I was also investing passively in real estate. I was, I was an LP. And I was seeing, man, I'm getting great returns on these LP deals. And not putting much work into it, right, or if, if any, at all. No work into it, except the due diligence, right, at the beginning and signing the paperwork and all that stuff. [00:05:56] Bernard Pierson: I was traveling. When I was developing, I was still living in the US. I wasn't fully living in Nicaragua or Costa Rica. I would travel every week, Monday through Friday. It's a two hour flight from Miami, so I was based out of Miami and I would just travel every week. Sometimes I would say the week, and my wife would come over. [00:06:13] Bernard Pierson: And, but I was basically, we were half and half between the two countries, right? So as I was seeing my LP investments, maybe not out, outperforming, but at least matching, and in some cases outperforming my active work in development. So, so my LP, my passive stuff was doing better, you know, when I was doing nothing. I was like, no, did you know, this is something I have to transition to at the time also Nicaragua, back in 2018, we had a pretty bad social economic, political crisis that the economy came to a standstill. [00:06:41] Bernard Pierson: It still hasn't recovered. And it was just a perfect time to transition full time into active multifamily. Let's call it.  [00:06:51] Sam Wilson: Got it. How, how did you build your team members? What, what did that process look like to go, 'cause it's one thing to be a passive investor. And it's another thing altogether to say, all right, now I'm going to go actively start taking down deals. What are some steps you took that you feel like other people should take? [00:07:05] Bernard Pierson: If you have the opportunity to invest with another operator, someone, got to know an operator, invest with them. If you can invest with one, that's not a huge operator, I mean, there's great benefits of investment with a huge operator, right? [00:07:20] Bernard Pierson:  There's nothing wrong with that. There's plenty of good big shops that you can invest with and get good returns. But if you want to do this actively you're going to need relationships. This is a very relationship driven business and networking is, great. And one way that worked for me at least to network and build relationships was to invest passively with other operators first. [00:07:39] Bernard Pierson: And I got to meet them. And my first active investment was actually with one of the sponsors or operators I used to invest with passively so that my LP relationship with this operator ended up being a GP or co-GP relationship.  [00:07:53] Sam Wilson: That's cool. I love that. You already know the deal sponsor. When this goes live, it's not like you're going, oh, okay, well, let me get to know you and see if we can work together. I said, no, I already understand how you work. I've seen all your deals up front. I've participated with you. Now, is there a way to join the team and help take these down together? [00:08:10] Bernard Pierson: And the sponsor also wants to know you, too, if they're going to team up with you, right? And even if you're just going to be an investor, they'll want to get to know you because there can be some LP investors, which are not desirable to some sponsors for different reasons, you know, that I'm not going to get into right now. [00:08:26] Bernard Pierson: But a relationship forms. You know, if you've been investing with sponsor for 1, 2, 3 years, they'll get to know you you'll get to know them. And especially if you, not that you're going to call the sponsor every day, right, but maybe you speak once a quarter or just once every six months, whatever, you know, like these guys used to have quarterly call, you know, for the investors and I used to log into the calls and I would see them there. [00:08:45] Bernard Pierson: And. Yeah, I, I 've seen four or five deals before I went into an active deal with them. So yeah.  [00:08:51] Sam Wilson: Right. That's a great way, great way to get to know somebody up front. We talked about this off air and I, I want to make sure that we spend probably the rest of this show talking about what it's like raising capital from foreign investors, you know, 'cause you, you told me that the majority of your investors come from Latin America. [00:09:10] Sam Wilson: What has been the process for you? I mean, how, how does this work mechanics of it? What's the investor education like? Can you just tell us what, because that's a very unique, you know, the aspect of this business that, that you bring that many of our guests in the show just don't have any experience in that. So I'd love to hear how you do that. [00:09:29] Bernard Pierson: Right, yeah. So it's very different for several reasons. and one thing that's important is that an investor from the UK is not the same, or from Canada, or from Nicaragua, Venezuela, they're all different. They're all going to be different. Tax purposes, legal reasons, culturally, language they're, they're going to be completely different. [00:09:47] Bernard Pierson: I'll start off with how I met them and, and why they invested with me. For me, it's simply because I'm in Miami and there are other multifamily operators that speak Spanish and, and are from that in America. But not many, there's a lot less. [00:09:59] Bernard Pierson: And I'm one of the few that speaks the language. The multifamily language in Spanish if it even exists, right, 'cause just a concept of multifamily that doesn't even exist in Latin America. This rental, like, a rental building or a rental community, we don't really have that much. [00:10:14] Bernard Pierson: We may have a little bit of that in countries like Chile, maybe Mexico. Columbia is starting to see some of that, but it It's rare, right? You won't see it in Nicaragua or the rest of Latin America. And if you see it, there's very little of it. So first it's, that education part, right, and trying to educate someone in a language that's not their, their native language is not easy. So I have that advantage that I, can educate them in Spanish, or I can tell them about the industry in Spanish. And what I've done specifically to get to know these investors is I've been invited to speak to, to groups of investors and, and conferences or meetups, or gatherings where, and here in Miami, right, 'cause Miami is like we call it sometimes a capital of Latin America. It's the perfect place to be if you want to be exposed to Latin American investors, and I just got invited to these conferences, I speak in Spanish, talked about the industry, talked about what I think, talked about from the basics up to more advanced stuff, depending on who the audience is, right? But I do it in Spanish. And after every event, at least four or five, you know, individuals from the audience come up to me and the conversion rate of investment is 50 to 60% of the people that I, that come up to me after the, I don't even have to reach out to them. [00:11:25] Bernard Pierson: It's, it becomes a very, a very good connection. I, I guess. And so from there, the interesting part is that if most of the members of the audience at these events, or even if it's not an audience, even if they're just in Miami and they're interested for some reason or another, they're interested in investing in the US, they're usually here for a reason. And that reason is very similar to my reason, which is I found out that Latin America has a lot of risk. We have a lot of political issues. We have a lot of social unrest. There's unlimited number of things that can go, you know, I can go on all day here, so we identify very easily, right? I've been where they're at right now. And, and recently these are countries like Peru and, and Chile where they're having ,they got swings politically where they're nervous that they may, I'm not saying they will, they won't, but they're nervous that they may become like a Venezuela or something like that, right? So, so yeah, so they're nervous and we can help, right.? They're getting exposed to, to real estate in this country. I explained to them how I went through the same and how I measured, I have all these measurements I made and indices and all this research I did back in the day on, on why the risk adjusted return is better in the US, at least in real estate, specifically than it is in Latin America. [00:12:38] Bernard Pierson: And I show 'em all the data and explaining it to them. And I wrote a thesis on this, right. So I know my numbers pretty well. And which is another thing, right? When you speak to your investors, know your numbers, even if it's not the deal numbers, Just know your numbers of the demographics, the city, whatever you're trying to bet across.  [00:12:52] Sam Wilson: Are you bringing capital in from out of the country?  [00:12:56] Bernard Pierson: Yes, we are. If you're going to accept money from a foreign investor, there's a lot of things you have to consider. Most countries in Latin America do not have a tax treaty with the US. The only two that will have a tax treaty with the US are going to be Mexico and Venezuela. So Venezuela, you can't even do business with them for other reasons. So you can scratch that one off. So you're left with Mexico. I think there's, I don't know if it's Peru or there's another country that's negotiating a tax treaty, but not that I know of, at least there's no other country that has an active tax treaty other than Mexico. [00:13:30] Bernard Pierson: You would have to talk to your CPA about this, but usually if they don't have a tax treaty, you're going to have to withhold when you distribute back to them, right? So that withholding is, is just going to kill their returns or their cash flow. The only way, usually, again, that they'll get that money back, if they invest individually, is if they file a tax return in the US. [00:13:47] Bernard Pierson: And a lot of these investors don't want to just because they, they don't want to have to deal with, another tax return or there's different reasons why foreigners don't want file taxes in the US. And what we do is we have a team of, and this is what, if you're interested in working with foreign investors, find a CPA or an attorney or a tax attorney that knows this area very well, not necessarily real estate, but just taxes, just international tax law and has worked with foreign investors before. And they can help you and they can help the investors. And that's basically what we do. [00:14:21] Bernard Pierson: We refer our investors to a CPA. They sometimes have their own, but if not, we have the players that we can refer them to that can help them. And, and that's the only solution we can give them and it's going to take them time. So that's the other thing you have to know. [00:14:33] Bernard Pierson: It's going to take them time to structure themselves. It's not going to be like your US or like your domestic investors where they can sign a PPM online and they can wire the money into the next day. You know, not that it's all it happens most of the time. Right. But technically they can fund, you know, in a day or two. [00:14:49] Bernard Pierson: That's not going to be the case for Latin America. It's going to be a lot longer than that. They're going to have to get the appointment with the CPA, with the lawyers, talk with them. It takes time. It's going to take a couple weeks, two months, three months. So it's just going to take time and just encourage them to talk to that CPA. [00:15:04] Bernard Pierson: What we usually do is that we ask them to invest as a US person and they can do that if they either get an ITIN or some sort of us entity. Again, they have to talk with their CPA to do it right. And I'm not saying, just go get a n entity online or anything like that. It won't work if you do it, especially if you're a foreigner, 'cause there's a lot of different things that you have to do, right? But if you're a syndicator, or you're trying to raise money from, from, foreigners, it just makes your life a lot easier if they invest as a US person through a US entity.  [00:15:35] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. And just to reiterate your advice is to find a CPA and an attorney that really knows international tax law and is quite familiar with this process, it sounds like that's the way you've gone about, one, relieving yourself of any risk or giving bad advice, but also ways to streamline it and make it easy. Just say, Hey, go talk to person you know, X and Y,  [00:15:56] Bernard Pierson: Right and also talk to that CPA or that attorney before, so, you know, you start forming that relationship and they already know more or less what you do. So that'll save a lot of time that it's not going to be your investor, them coming to you. So, how does this work? What's the mechanics? How often are you going to distribute? When are you going to sell? When are you going to do that? Right? So it, there's a lot of specific things. Like there's certain tax laws that allow you to, if you dissolve an entity, then there's a lot of tax advantages to the foreign investor, for example, right? So they're going to start asking you, when are you going to dissolve it? And, and you might as well have answered that before if it's the CPA you referred them to.  [00:16:33] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. So is there a dollar amount, like when an investor comes to you? I mean, we see in most syndications, 50 to a hundred thousand is a minimum investment, you know, and obviously they go up much higher depending on, you know, what it is you're getting into, but is there a dollar amount for a foreign investor where this just doesn't make sense? I mean, is, is there a minimum? [00:16:52] Bernard Pierson: A hundred percent, yeah. So in our head, if, for Latin American investors, that amount is going to be about 250,000. If it's less than that, it'll probably be more expensive to structure everything than to invest. I've heard other operators say that they can do 50 or 100k and, and they they're fine with that. [00:17:10] Bernard Pierson: I don't know how they do it, right, but for us, that number is closer to 250. Tha t doesn't mean it has to be 250 on every deal. Once they have, they start building the structure, they can become more efficient and reuse their legal structure or, or whatever, right there, there's certain economies of scale that they can start and join. [00:17:26] Sam Wilson: Right. But out of the gate, in your opinion, if it's less than, than 250 grand. It just doesn't make any sense because of the administrative burden of getting everything set up you've, you've diluted your returns to the point where it's kind of like, okay, well this was an exercise.  [00:17:41] Bernard Pierson: A hundred percent. Yeah. Just the entities that they have to form the, you know, the, the legal costs you're going to have. On all levels, it's just going to probably be, it's not going to take any returns.  [00:17:49] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Right? Yep. Cost prohibitive. That's really, really awesome. Thank you, Bernard for taking the time to break down this, this process and how, how you've gone about bringing foreign investors into the US. I think that's really cool. And again, certainly it's something we haven't talked about a lot on this show. So I appreciate you kind of giving us the insight on how that works for you down to the dollar amount that maybe it makes sense for. And then you know, just the, kind of, some of the risks that you also see in investing in other countries. I mean, you have, you personally have experience in doing development in other countries. So I think that's, that's also something really cool that we've learned here from you today. So thanks for taking the time to share with us. I certainly appreciate it. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that? [00:18:30] Bernard Pierson: I'm on all those social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn. Look me up, Bernard Pierson. Pierson is P I E R S O N. So just look me up, my company, and you can send me a message. I'm, I'm pretty responsive there. You can also email me, my email is bpierson, B P I E R S O N, @equitipartners.com. And we spell equity with an I at the end for international, not a Y. So @ E Q U I T I partners.com.  [00:18:59] Sam Wilson: Awesome. Bernard, thank you so much. I do appreciate it. We'll make sure we link all of that there in the show notes. Appreciate you coming on today. Have a great rest of your day.  [00:19:06] Bernard Pierson: Thanks a lot, Sam. Great being on here.
