@originaldohnthornton: A lot of passive investors jump into real estate syndications through their personal name…
or through LLCs / Corporations that are still publicly visible and fully taxable.
Apartment deals.
Self-storage projects.
Mobile home parks.
Commercial developments.
The checks get bigger…
and so do the taxable events and lawsuit exposure.
Most investors never stop to think about HOW they’re taking ownership in the deal.
But sophisticated investors often invest as trustee of a contract law spendthrift trust instead.
Now the ownership interest benefits from far greater privacy and anonymity because the trust is not publicly registered with the state like an LLC / Corporation.
Plus, you get powerful lawsuit protection and no taxable events.
Same syndication deals.
Completely different level of protection (info purposes only; not a licensed tax, legal, or accounting professional) #taxdeductions #taxsavings #taxreduction #realestate
