Key Takeaways: Tax Structure Variations: C Corporations are taxed at the corporate level, unlike S Corps and LLCs, which pass profits and losses directly to their owners. Double Taxation Risk: C Corps face double taxation—once on corporate profits and again when those profits are distributed as dividends to shareholders. Compensation Strategy: Shareholders who are also employees can reduce double taxation by receiving salaries, which are deductible to the corporation. Separate Tax Filings: C Corps file Form 1120, and their profits/losses don't pass through to owners unless distributed. Loss Limitations: Corporate losses stay with the C Corp and cannot offset shareholders' personal income, unlike in pass-through entities.

Sometimes you don't have to move where everybody can see everything.You need to move in silence. And when you move in silence, but you move effectively,those checks gonna scream loud.”Turn a risk into a ring the way I marry sumsPower moves quiet, then the check screams loudJumpin' off the jet in designer, head-crowdEagle-eye vision—spot a bag in the cloudIt is almost certainly the most fun financial advice you will ever hear.It is also a personal statement of intent.“I have held back. I've had a lot of challenges in life, and I have kind of been on theback burner because I'm always putting everybody else ahead and helping everyoneelse. But now I'm gonna show you how it's about to go down for me.”Music is something she has always wanted to do, but life, the need to make a living andsome extreme hardships intervened.“I got pregnant at a young age. My mom was murdered when I was five. Mygrandparents raised me and my brother, but they both died by the time I turned 18. So,I've always been independent and finding my way, and music was what always mademe feel better.”She passed her love of music on to her children, who are now singers and rappers intheir own right, and she has her own production company, BossCat Entertainment.“I pushed them and supported them, and now they're pushing and supporting me.”The tipping point that decided her on doing what she always wanted to do, began duringthe time of COVID, when she discovered she had stomach cancer. She beat it, andearly this year she celebrated her fifth year of remission.One particular moment was when she was playing around with her music with a friend,who said, “Oh my God! You should be doing something.”“And I said oh, no, that was a dream I had before, and she said, ‘Okay, you're not tooold to live your dream.' And I said, ‘You know what? That's one of the things I want meto do.' And so now, after overcoming cancer and even going blind in 2023 and gettingmy vision back, everything that I always wanted to do, I'm going to do it.”Of the four songs she has just released, “It's My Birthday” is pure hip-hop celebration,with what sounds like a bass sax joining the drum in the beat, and “Pleasure and Pain”is an R&B and hip-hop fusion on relationships — the pleasure and the pain.The other two, “Money Wave” especially but also “Stone Cold Lover,” are Catresestaking out her ground as Queen Diamond.“‘Money Wave' is letting you know I'm coming forth. I'm wearing the crown, and it is theQueen Diamond era.”In “Stone Cold,” the singer is talking to a lover, but warning him, too.“I'm trying to reach my goals, and although I may want someone to be beside me, and Imay care about you, you can't let your emotions get involved, because I'm on amission.”I'ma show you how it's 'bout to go down—Risin' to the top, we don't play 'round—Money wave comin', watch me surf that “Money Wave” is all about the mission, and money is a big part of that, but it's noteverything.“I'm about building a legacy,” she said. “When you leave this earth, what do you leavebehind? I'm not talking about things that can disappear. Materialistic things, they can bedissolved. How have you impacted somebody else's life, through inspiration, throughwords, through motivation, through music?”And, the music is also about fun, which comes out when you ask her what she wants todo with it, where she wants to go with it.“I want to have fun with it. I want to be able to reach a vast amount of people, share mystories through my songs, because it's very relatable to a lot of things that people dealwith in their life, and I want to be encouraging.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

"Would establishing an LLC help me reduce tax on income from stock trading?" – Consider corporate trading partner structure for meaningful capital gains. "Our C corp employs our son part-time. What are the tax implications of buying him a car for personal use only?" – Buy in his name, increase salary; avoid corporate ownership.

Sherry Peel Jackson is a retired IRS agent, CPA, and Certified Fraud Examiner who now dedicates her work to helping everyday people understand how to reduce their taxes, protect their income, and build wealth. With over 35 years of experience and a mission to educate the middle class, Sherry teaches strategies used by the wealthy to keep more of what they earn—including how to legally avoid taxes, structure businesses wisely, and protect assets.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Sherry exposes the disparity in how the IRS treats mom-and-pop businesses versus large corporations. Starting a home-based business opens up powerful tax deductions not available to W-2 employees. Keeping thorough records, especially receipts, is essential for audit protection—credit card statements alone won't cut it. The KPG system (Keep, Protect, Grow) is Sherry's core framework for achieving financial independence. Protecting assets through proper legal structuring, including out-of-state LLCs and foundations, shields wealth from lawsuits and unnecessary taxes.     Topics From IRS Agent to Advocate Worked for the IRS from 1988–1995 before launching her own CPA firm. Witnessed firsthand how small businesses were targeted while corporations often negotiated huge tax reductions. Left the IRS to empower middle-class earners with insider knowledge the wealthy use every day. Home-Based Businesses and Tax Deductions Employees are severely limited in tax deductions—no mileage, phone, or home internet write-offs. By launching a simple home-based business, individuals gain access to numerous write-offs. Sherry encourages clients to start a business they enjoy to unlock these tax benefits without burnout. Recordkeeping and Audit Preparedness Debit and credit card statements are NOT valid proof during audits—receipts are required. Recommends either scanning receipts into apps or making photocopies to preserve them. Supports clients during IRS audits and often helps them overturn excessive assessments. The KPG System: Keep, Protect, Grow Keep: Slash unnecessary expenses, eliminate debt, and live frugally while building income. Protect: Use legal structures (e.g., LLCs in Wyoming, NM) to shield assets and ensure anonymity. Grow: Reinvest profits into physical gold/silver and real estate—not depreciating assets like TVs or cars. Advanced Wealth Strategies Uses infinite banking policies to store wealth and acquire real estate tax-efficiently. Leverages the Augusta Rule—renting her home to her business for up to 14 days tax-free. Teaches the use of trusts and foundations to legally reduce taxes and protect generational wealth.

After working as a financial analyst at a private equity firm, he founded Tulsa Property Lad to offer clients a better way to buy, sell, manage, and invest in real estate. Yoni provides comprehensive Oklahoma real estate services and listings, supported by first-class customer service. In this episode… Many investors overlook Oklahoma when scouting for their next property, focusing instead on flashier markets. But behind the modest headlines, Oklahoma offers strong returns, low competition, and unique growth potential. What makes this state such a compelling place for serious real estate investors? According to Yoni Schmidt, a seasoned investor and property management expert with deep market knowledge in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, the key lies in Oklahoma's unmatched balance of affordability, stability, and steady appreciation. He highlights that Oklahoma City is ideal for core-plus investments, while Tulsa offers enhanced yield opportunities for long-term buy-and-hold strategies. With low unemployment, rising rents, and high occupancy rates, investors can achieve solid returns with lower risk. He also emphasizes the importance of local expertise, especially in markets with rapidly shifting neighborhood dynamics, where a few streets can mean the difference between success and regret. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, Joshua Heintz teams up with Yoni Schmidt for an in-depth masterclass on investing in Oklahoma real estate. They break down top-performing neighborhoods in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, explain the benefits of DSCR loans over traditional lending, and outline how to structure investments for asset protection. Yoni also shares practical advice on using LLCs and local insights to scale a rental portfolio.

In this episode, Glen Sutherland interviews Amresh Singh, who runs Home Abroad, a firm that assists international investors in purchasing U.S. real estate. Amresh shares insights into the challenges foreign investors face and how his company provides a comprehensive solution. Key Points Discussed: Introduction to Home Abroad: Home Abroad is a one-stop shop for global investors, offering services from property search to financing, setting up LLCs, and property management. Amresh has a background in mortgage financing and real estate technology, which inspired him to create Home Abroad after recognizing the difficulties foreign investors face in the U.S. market. Investment Strategies: Investors range from value-focused individuals looking for properties in the Midwest to those interested in luxury second homes or short-term rentals in popular locations. Common strategies include long-term rentals for cash flow and fix-and-flip projects. Amresh emphasizes the unique ability of U.S. real estate to generate cash flow with leverage through long-term fixed mortgages. Advantages of U.S. Real Estate: U.S. real estate offers a distinct opportunity to generate cash flow while leveraging properties through favorable mortgage options (e.g., 30-year fixed rates). Investors can appreciate their assets in U.S. dollars, providing additional benefits for foreign investors. Common Mistakes by Foreign Investors: Amresh warns against insufficient due diligence on properties, including understanding property taxes, HOA fees, and rental regulations. He advises investors to ask thorough questions and ensure their loan programs align with their investment strategies. Due Diligence and Financing: Home Abroad utilizes a DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan, allowing investors to qualify based on rental income rather than personal income. The process includes obtaining an appraisal to ensure the property will cover its costs, which helps investors make informed decisions upfront. Services Offered: Home Abroad assists investors with property searches, financing, and connecting them with real estate agents. They have a property search platform that matches investment objectives, streamlining the research process.

What is the state of syndications today? How to structure a syndication for protection purposes? Major differences between funds vs syndications and why are funds popular today? Jonathan Tavares, Managing Partner at Premier Law Group, shares his insights. Read the entire interview here: https://tinyurl.com/25hhhjsfWhat is the state of the market today? What are the IRRs looking like? Are you seeing more or fewer deals come across your desk?There has been a shift to funds in the last 6-8 mos. Traditionally, especially during COVID, a lot of clients were doing a lot of multifamily syndication. Now, granted, that's been a piece that we focused on for a long time. A lot of our clients are heavily involved in the multifamily space, but with increasing interest rates over 22 and various other factors, property taxes throughout many counties and throughout the country, going up very quickly, as well as insurance and specific markets. We have a lot of clients in various markets in Texas that have just gone crazy, places like Houston or Florida, where insurance rates have skyrocketed. It's presented some challenges for some of our clients. Instead of seeing just a straight deal with a certain percentage of debt somewhere around 70- 80%, a lot of times, there's a lot of creative financing going on to make up for that debt piece that may not be there or where those percentages of debt to purchase price may be a little bit lower than what a lot of clients were used to before.You see a lot of preferred equity. We've seen clients building out structures where, in essence, they're providing almost a debt structure to their investors too, to create a sort of debt piece as well as an equity piece in their raises. We've seen a lot of clients create funds and use their funds to come in for part of the debt piece for specific projects as well.Depending on the asset type, and I'll specifically exclude development projects, we're seeing a lot of target IRRs between 15 and 20% generally.Where do all the LLCs go for a syndication so that everyone is protected as much as they can possibly be?There's all sorts of different structures that you might use to set up a syndication or a fund and for different reasons, for tax reasons, for asset protection reasons, etc. A typical syndication structure is going to include a syndication entity, and that's typically known as the issuer entity, that's the entity that's selling securities.Why does the SEC care about what I'm doing if I'm raising capital to go buy real estate? The Supreme Court came up with a test that's called the Howie test. The SEC does an analysis to determine if you were selling securities or not, and essentially boils down to the four main tenets of the Howie test:1) Is an investor investing money? Typically, the answer is yes.2) Are they expecting some sort of return on profits? And usually the answer is yes.3) Whether the efforts are generated by someone other than the person who's investing, like some sort of promoter, or in the space we call a sponsor. In these deals, a sponsor where a GP that is raising the capital from investors. The investors are passive in the deal. 4) A common enterprise is if the investors are pooling together capital through the efforts of the GP to buy some sort of underlying investments. That's typically going to be real estate.Jonathan Tavares(508) 212-1193jonathan@plglp.comwww.premierlawgroup.netJoin our investor list at https://montecarlorei.com/investors/

Jonathan Feniak is a business attorney and the driving force behind LLCAttorney.com. After successful careers in logistics and finance, he became a licensed attorney at 45 to help make legal protection and business formation more accessible to entrepreneurs. Jonathan now helps clients across all 50 states establish LLCs, protect their assets, and structure their businesses efficiently—with a focus on practical, cost-effective solutions that deliver real protection.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Asset protection begins with proper business formation—but it doesn't end there. Many business owners form LLCs but fail to “respect” them by observing corporate formalities, rendering them ineffective in court. Wyoming is one of the best states to form a holding company due to privacy and strong charging order protection. Creating a holding company structure helps simplify asset management, estate planning, and liability isolation. Revocable living trusts are a low-cost way to ensure smooth inheritance without the burden of probate, especially across multiple states.     Topics From Corporate to Counsel: A Third Career Attorney Jonathan began in logistics (UPS, DHL), then transitioned to finance and wealth management. At 45, he pursued law full-time to combine strategic advising with legal structure and protection. His mission is to democratize access to real legal solutions—without the inflated price tag. What Most People Get Wrong About LLCs Forming an LLC is just step one—maintaining it properly is where most fail. Respect your LLC by: holding meetings, documenting decisions, separating finances, and keeping the business in good standing. Improperly managed LLCs are often disregarded by courts, leaving owners personally liable. The Power of Holding Companies Use a Wyoming LLC as a holding company for privacy, asset protection, and estate efficiency. Helps shield your name from public documents and reduces the impact of being linked to failed partnerships or lawsuits. Holding companies simplify asset transfers to heirs and reduce exposure to out-of-state probate. Estate Planning and Life Events Estate plans should be revisited every five years—or after any major life change (e.g., marriage, children, death, relocation). A revocable living trust paired with an LLC holding company offers clean transitions for heirs and minimal disruption. Overcomplicated estate plans often backfire; keep it simple and update as needed. Avoiding Snake Oil and Legal Overkill Many providers push unnecessary structures—like offshore trusts or layered LLCs—on inexperienced investors. Jonathan emphasizes reasonable, effective solutions tailored to the investor's current risk and net worth. Focus on clear, scalable strategies that grow with your portfolio.    

Do you really need an LLC for rentals? What about a trust? What kind of insurance should you get? With so many questions (and confusion) surrounding asset protection for real estate investors, we've brought on an expert to set the record straight so you can protect your assets—without going overboard or breaking the bank! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Today, we're chatting with real estate attorney and fellow investor Bonnie Galam about the nuances of asset protection. The truth is that there are two sides to this coin, but most investors only focus on the defensive or “reactive” side. Bonnie will show you the keys to 360-degree protection—like setting up strong legal structures before problems arise and the essential documentation you should have from day one. 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!) How much you should expect to pay for different types of legal protection Debt versus equity partnerships (and why one is better for asset protection) Revocable and irrevocable trusts explained (and which one you need) And So Much More!

Everyone wants work-life balance, but no one talks about the price you have to pay to get there. In this episode, we get brutally honest about what it really takes to build something meaningful.For the first four years, we worked nights, weekends, and poured everything into our business. We weren't chasing balance. We were chasing freedom. And now, in year five, we're finally seeing the payoff.In this episode, we break down why the work-life balance narrative is holding people back, the difference between burnout and buy-in, and why obsession (not balance) is what actually moves the needle. We also unpack why “follow your passion” is terrible advice if you haven't built the skills, cash flow, or clarity to support it (and what to focus on instead).This conversation explores the seasons of life and business, the value of building real skills over chasing passions, and why community and support are essential when you're in the trenches. We also get real about the mental battles, setbacks, and sacrifices it takes to stay the course because those struggles are what shape you. If you're trying to build a life 99% of people don't have, you're going to have to work like 99% of people won't. Free Rental Property Workshop: Learn how to buy your first (or next) rental property in 2025.
