Are you using your IRA to invest in a multifamily syndication? Then brace yourself for an unexpected tax bill when the asset sells. If, on the other hand, you’d prefer not to owe the IRS for Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT), it’s time to consider a Qualified Retirement Plan (or QRP) that gives you more control over your money and makes it much easier to invest in real estate! Damion Lupo is a real estate investor, serial entrepreneur, and high-profile financial consultant. He founded Total Control Financial in 2010 to help people achieve financial freedom. He is committed disrupting Wall Street and empowering Main Street with the tools and teachings of financial transformation.

He is also the author of QRP Book: How to Get Checkbook Control of Your 401(k) & IRA Money Now. Today, Damion joins me to explain why the current retirement system is broken and discuss the problem with using your IRA to invest in multifamily real estate. He walks us through the fundamentals of UBIT, describing how you can be blindsided by a BIG tax bill when an asset sells.  Damion also offers insight around the alternative to the IRA that is exempt from UBIT, the QRP.

"The realisation happened when I lost twenty million dollars. It took me losing everything in my life and starting over and asking a different question. The question is what is true? Looking at what I had done over twenty years and saying that was very hedonistic, that was very me, that was all about consumption. And then losing it all, I think the universe was saying ok, here's the opportunity." Damion Lupo has shown time and again that the human spirit is only limited by the scale of one’s imagination. From overcoming bankruptcy and debt, to building Total Control Financial, an innovative Fintech startup, Damion has seen it all and done it all. However, he maintains that without having a strong “Why” success in business can be meaningless if it is not channeled towards serving a higher purpose. Damion’s entrepreneurial journey started when he was barely 11 years old. Like many other entrepreneurs, he started a business trying to solve his problem. The venture proved to be quite successful, and pretty soon he was hooked on entrepreneurship. After leaving college, he launched a string of businesses and other small enterprises, but his big break didn’t come until around the turn of the millennium. Damion eventually built a real estate portfolio of over 150 homes and was living the jet-setting millionaire lifestyle. But the party didn’t last forever. As a result of the financial crisis in 2008, Damion found himself losing close to twenty million dollars in a few months. Damion decided to go on an introspective quest. He examined his life and his past decisions and realised that despite being successful in material terms, he was unsuccessful regarding his emotional and spiritual well-being. It was this realisation that made him decide to make a lasting change concerning his perspective to life. Today, Damion has translated the wisdom he’s learned over the years into lessons that can be easily applied in any situation. He’s the author of over five books including the Reinvented Life, which details his experiences in entrepreneurship. He’s also a noted speaker & teacher and the founder of a unique form of martial arts called Yokido, which blends the teachings of Yoga & Aikido. This is one of my most favourite conversations since I started this podcast. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Damion has got one hell of a story and dispenses some of the most sound advice I have heard yet. Let's StartUp!

Damion Lupo is the founder of Total Control Financial, a company with a mission to empower people to transform their financial future by taking control of their retirement funds. Many people treat their saving and investing as a side thought, storing their money in traditional 401k and IRA accounts. According to Damion, this is not the best way to save nor to grow your wealth. Instead, he recommends entrepreneurs in the United States who are serious about growing their wealth consider using a QRP. QRP stands for qualified retirement plan. A QRP is eligible to receive certain tax benefits that you can't get with a 401k or IRA, and allows you to invest your savings into everything from gold and silver, real estate, and more. In today's conversation, not only do we talk about this subject, but wealth in general. One item that really stood out to me is how Damion is able to evaluate what someone values by looking at the 3 "C's": Cash: what you're spending your money on - addictions, habits, etc. Credit card: how you're trading away your future for stimulus today. Calendar: how you're using (or squandering) your time. We discuss this and much more. In this broadcast, Damion Lupo and I talk about: The difference between wealth and money The blank slate principle A single question to ask yourself to help you determine where you should invest your time and money Why the 5 people you spend the most time with impact more than your wealth How to improve your life (hint: it has nothing to do with doing more things...) The 3 "C's" (cash, credit card, and calendar) Why you should schedule 'untouchable days' on your calendar And much more.

Damion is a 5 time author and sought after financial consultant for accredited investors and business owners. Using a vast knowledge of financial markets, money psychology and pattern recognition he’s an expert at quickly diagnosing hidden financial cancers within organizations and the people running them and rewiring both for success. Damion’s personal philosophy centers on Self Responsibility and a conviction that the only path to freedom is through candor, growth and 10X thinking. After his father’s death in 2014, combined with 10X thinking, he launched Total Control Financial with a mission and design to create a permanent financial transformation for his clients.

There’s a lot of talk about a forthcoming economic downturn. People can’t seem to wait for the bubble to burst. I even told Capitalism.com founder and CEO Ryan Moran on his podcast, Freedom Fast Lane, that investors should take caution in the current market because real estate prices are incredibly high. That’s why it made perfect sense to talk to someone who’s been through an economic meltdown holding a significant real estate portfolio, and have him share what got him through it. Damion Lupo used a Visa credit card to pay for his first house. He bought up 150 homes in seven states in the five years leading up to the tsunami that was the Great Recession in 2008. It was this experience that led Damion to realize that riding the wall street roller coaster isn’t the best way to take control of his financial future. So he set out to solve this problem for himself and others by establishing a financial technology business called Total Control Financial. Here are three important tips from Damion to take away from this episode: Why you should look into alternatives to the traditional 401k; What having total control of your financial freedom should look like; and Why we shouldn’t wait until we’re at retirement age to create and live the life we want.

Damion Lupo could be considered a true renaissance man in every sense of the word. The Alaska-born, Austin, Texas-based entrepreneur has shown time and again that the human spirit is only limited by the scale of one's imagination. From overcoming bankruptcy and debt to building Total Control Financial, an innovative Fintech startup, Damion has seen it all and done it all. However, he maintains that without having a strong “Why” success in business can be meaningless if it is not channeled towards serving a higher purpose. Damion's entrepreneurial journey started when he was barely 11 years old. Like many other entrepreneurs, he started a business trying to solve his problem. He didn't have access to video games, and so he decided to start buying, selling and trading them with his friends. The venture proved to be quite successful, and pretty soon he was hooked on entrepreneurship. He parlayed his early success into another profitable venture, selling books from his dorm room in college. His sheer tenacity and instinct for making deals almost put the University's bookstore out of business. He received an ultimatum from the Dean to either shut down his business or leave the school. But when you're a bulletproof entrepreneur, and your business generates your entire tuition money in just four days, the decision is pretty much a no-brainer. After leaving college, he launched a string of businesses and other small enterprises, but his big break didn't come until around the turn of the millennium. Damion got inspired to go into real estate by watching a late night infomercial. He financed his first investment property purchase with confidence and credit cards. In his words, the situation at the time was just simply “I didn't know that I couldn't buy a house with a credit card.” Mr. Lupo eventually built a real estate portfolio of over 150 homes and was living the jet-setting millionaire lifestyle. But the party didn't last forever. As a result of the financial crisis in 2008, the music stopped, and our hero found himself in a tight position losing close to twenty million dollars in a few months. A lot of his real estate purchases were financed with debt that was backed and guaranteed by his personal assets. As the cash flow from the rentals failed to cover his debt payments, the banks called in the loans, and he was left with little choice except to file for bankruptcy. This period was particularly challenging because he lost the money entrusted to him by his friends and family. Amidst the personal and financial crises, Damion decided to go on an introspective quest. He examined his life and his past decisions and realized that despite being successful in material terms, he was unsuccessful regarding his emotional and spiritual well-being. It was this realization that made him decide to make a lasting change concerning his perspective to life. Today, Damion has translated the wisdom he's learned over the years into lessons that can be easily applied in any situation. He's the author of over five books including the Reinvented Life, which details his experiences in the trenches of entrepreneurship. He's also a noted speaker & teacher and the founder of a unique form of martial arts called Yokido, which blends the teachings of Yoga & Aikido. His new business Total Control Financial helps people take control of their financial lives to that can have the freedom to create a life of their dreams. And while he doesn't believe he's completely mastered the art of the comeback, he's definitely learned a thing or two about helping you flip that switch that will take you from broke to millions. So listen, learn and take action.

"It's funny that these things are just right in front of us." -Damion Lupo He believes that when we are conscious, our eyes open up and allow us to see things that we never thought was just around. Everyone needs to be aware to see the opportunity. On the Path to Freedom Candor, growth, and a big vision are essential to become totally free. When Damion started his career, his idea of freedom and wealth was about earning more. He invested in real estates for money. “The why for me was just more money, which is a really dangerous why because you'll do just about anything to get to it.” -Damion Lupo He thought himself amazing after a number of remarkable accomplishments.

Interview Connections’ client case studies are the focus of today’s podcast. Damion Lupo talks about his podcast guest expert strategy, the growth of his business since he started being a guest on podcasts, and why he’s committed to this strategy.  Later, Rene Brent tells how getting interviewed has sold her book all over the world, why size doesn’t matter when it comes to podcasts, and her tips for being a great podcast guest.   Damion Lupo Interview Damion Lupo and his business partner were looking for a way to share their message with the online community. They wanted to be in listeners’ minds and ears, every day. He wanted omnipresence. Damion told Jessica he wanted to do 50 interviews a month! She needed to scale up Interview Connections, which included dedicating a guest booker just for the Total Control Financial account. Damion is succeeding at his hefty goal, even though for each podcast he budgets 2-3 hours per show to listen to previous episodes and to consider the audience. For him, it’s about adapting to what the host needs. He wants to get his face and voice out there. Damion believes the people we pay attention to are being vulnerable. Touching people emotionally drives buying decisions. Damion sends the host intro material, and always asks, “How can I help you to get this message out, and how can I help you in general during the interview?” Damien says as a guest he needs to be open to a wide range of audiences and different podcasts. It just takes one person to reach out to make it worth it.  The best networking comes from 30-minute one-on-one conversations. It’s really about the relationship you make with the host.

My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a man who seems to me was certainly born with the entrepreneurial genes. Starting his first business at age 11, (even hiring his parents for logistics support), over the last quarter century he's started and owned more than 30 different companies including an insurance agency, precious metals firms, a venture capital company, a coaching and consulting firm, and more than a dozen real estate investment and development companies. He's also the founder of Yokido ™, his own martial arts and holds 3 other black belts. But it hasn't all been plain sailing in his life, as by age 27  he became a millionaire, and then lost everything (including his Ferrari, girlfriend, and even his dog) before going again in a new direction. But it seems to me that at his core he is a man who believes in personal control, and having the ability to show the world how we can free ourselves from the control that money worries have over our lives. By learning the ways to simplify investments, and taking the mystery out how to make money work for us, we will all have a better standard of living, life and health too. The life that most of us would say was the dream. Today, he resides in Austin Texas and is the Founder and CEO of Total Control Financial, a company who are obsessed with Disrupting Wall Street & Empowering Main Street, and as we said showing the world the promised land. So the big questions are, did he need to lose everything to be able to gain the clarity of financial knowledge that he now has? And what is the number one mistake that people make when attempting to gain financial freedom Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Damion Lupo.

Damion Lupo was born an entrepreneur, having started his first business venture at the tender age of eleven, even hiring his parents for logistics support. He has subsequently started and owned more than thirty different companies over the last twenty-five years. He is the founder of “Yokido”, a fusion of Aikido and yoga and he also has another three black belts to his credit. He paid for his first house with a Visa, then bought a hundred and fifty houses across seven states over the next five years. Despite going through a twenty million dollar meltdown in 2008, he persevered, with enormous success. He launched Fintek in Austen, raising a million dollars in just eighty-five days. He is the author of five published books, with another two to be released in the Spring of 2017.    On today's show, Damion, a financial mentor to the elite, talks to Stacy about his approach to business, which sets him apart from the norm. He also shares some of his valuable insight and experience, to help you to develop a really successful attitude towards any business venture.   Some highlights include:   “If you go to what other people want- that was one of the mistakes I made in each of those college experiences, I was doing it for someone else.” At minute 2.24, Damion talks about finding a new tribe, in line with his own values.   “The biggest and most successful people are making a million dollars in my state and that's not enough for me. I need to do something bigger.” At minute 3.32, he describes his mindset in his early twenties, which eventually lead to a crash, five years later.   “The Universe was giving me some feedback and I only listened to it when it drove over me with a freight train.” At minute 4.18, Damion discusses the importance of taking heed of the lessons learned along the way.   “The way it was totally different is it was based on a mission to empower people, to disrupt the Wall Street system... it was based on values that we consciously spent a day just thinking about.”  At minute 6.20, Damion talks about the magical experience of starting Total Control Financial from scratch.   “So what we do is we help people see an opportunity that could take their money out of Wall Street and take control of it.” At minute 7.40, he talks about what his company offers.   “So the thing that drives me now is the hundred percent responsibility and ownership for everything in my life.” From minute 13.44, Damion talks about his personal strengths and how he developed his current attitude.   “And there's this power in having people around us and bringing us support, compared with people that are going to bring us down.” At minute 15.58, he discusses the importance of figuring out and ultimately choosing who is influencing you.   “Real estate can serve people, or it can make them crazy.” From minute 20.36, Damion gives great advice about understanding and dealing with real estate calmly, without anxiety.   “It's the freedom to create- having the opportunity.” At minute 24.15, Damion shares what he most gets out of being an entrepreneur.   “So there's this inner genius in all of us, in fact, I know we all have this and when we tap into it and let it loose, then all of a sudden, we're living!” At minute 24.43 he talks about the real benefit of tapping into your inner genius.   “It's super disruptive and it doesn't allow us to really show up and deliver who we are.” At minute 26.20, Damion shares the “no ding” policy he uses in his office.   “I put it on my wish list at Amazon- that way I don't feel like I'm losing it” At minute 27.13, Damion offers a tip to create more space and to help you to focus without distractions.   “I use Smartsheet and that's how I monitor those narrow things that I'm focusing on... our ongoing team conversations live in Slack, so that we can check in with it whenever.” At minute 28.14, Damion shares some online tools that he benefits from using.   “Mistakes are only a failure if they're not admitted.” At minute 30.16, Damion offers his advice to people wanting to level up their business.   To contact Damion: www.totalcontrolfinancial.com   To order Damion's books, go to: www.totalcontrolfinancial.com/stacy  

The banks and the Government WILL take your money. It's just a matter of when. Just ask Damion Lupo. Sorry, your 401k and superannuation accounts are not safe. Most people don't realize what measures governments have taken to get out of debt, including taking their own citizens money. Most people don't also realize just how much they're paying in exorbitant fund manager fees, that they just don't need to. In this interview with Damion Lupo, he shares with us some great insights into what is really happening with your retirement fund. The government is not going to take care of your finances for you. Neither is your hedge fund manager. No one will take care of your finances better than you can. The good news is that there are a lot of options available for you. Topics discussed during this podcast include; Why your 401k or superannuation account is not safe The options you have in what you can do with your retirement money Why you shouldn't trust banks and fund managers And much more!

No one is going take as good care of your money as you will Don't trust your money to anyone. Take care of it yourself. You'll save a ton of money in fees and will be able to get a better return. 2. The banks will fail again Don't leave your retirement money, or any other large sums of money in the bank. Just as the banks failed in 2008, they will fail again. This time they will fail even more dramatically. Like this podcast? If you're enjoying the podcast, it's safe to assume there are others out there like you who would also enjoy the podcast.
