Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Attorney and securities & syndication expert, Gene Trowbridge.  In today's show we're going to speak with Gene about his experience as a real estate syndicator and how that led him into becoming a real estate and securities attorney who specializes in working with real estate investors like you and I who are looking to raise private capital to fund out deals.

 In this show with gene you’re going to learn:

• How he got his start in the business by first being a real estate syndicator that specialized in developing self-storage properties before deciding to venture off to law school at the age of 45.
• How the JOBS act has made it less restrictive for syndicators to advertise and raise money for their deals.
• Learn the 4 steps of the sales process for selling your investment offering to a prospective investor.
• What you need to know before structuring your first syndication to ensure you are setting yourself up for success.
• Why it’s absolutely critical to build some experience in the particular asset class you want to invest in prior to raising private capital from investors.
• How teaming or partnering with an experienced investor is a great way for first time syndicators to get their first deal done.
• Why it always makes sense to have at least 1 partner in your syndication, even if you don’t feel you necessarily need a partner.
• Learn the difference between a syndication and a JV partnership and why it’s critical to know which one is best suited for your particular structure.
• Why you as the sponsor of the syndication should be prepared to have some of your own money/skin to put into the deal.
• What kind of costs and expenses you can expect when forming your syndication.
• What crowdfunding really is and how this term is commonly misused and widely misunderstood. 
• And much more...

This week I'm going to share a tip with you that I learned from reading Joe Stampone's "A student of the real estate game" recent blog post where he discusses how those who are looking to break into the real estate business, more specifically as the role of a syndicator, can obtain a free education from those who are already successful syndicators.

Our guest for this week’s show is Asset protection specialist, active real estate investor, and real estate attorney, Clint Coons. In today's show we're going to speak with Clint about how we, the real estate investor, can best protect our real estate investments.

I’ve received multiple emails over the past few months from listeners who had questions regarding asset protection and I thought that the best way to cover the topic would be by bringing an expert on the show.

In this show you’re going to learn:

• How Clint got his start as both a Real Estate Attorney and active real Estate investor
• Why you should never take title to an investment property in your own name…ever!
• Why having the appropriate insurance coverage on your properties doesn’t mean that your assets are properly protected.
• Why obtaining a loan for a real estate deal from the bank that you keep most of your money with is a big no-no and what you need to do to protect yourself.
• Why an LLC is the preferred entity structure when forming a JV partnership.
• What a series LLC is and when it makes sense to use it.
• Why you should never allow your CPA to setup your entity structure
• Why it’s best to create the entity for your holding company in Wyoming or Nevada, no matter where you live or invest
• The right questions to ask in order to find the right real estate attorney and asset protection specialist for your unique needs.
• The reason you should never setup your LLC as member managed.
• Why you need to start on your asset protection plan now, even if you don’t yet own any properties.
• And much more...
