Hi Diana,

I would recommend networking at your local REIA or investor groups to see who they use. I have quite a bit of material on Subject-Tos on my website and YouTube that can help you get started. Feel free to reach out with any questions :-)

March Workshop: Using the Law to Make Money and Protect Assets featuring Lee Phillips ⚖️💼

🗓 Saturday March 23rd | 9AM-2PM⁣⁣⁣

📍Hilton Garden Inn - Troy, MI ⁣⁣⁣

.

Learn how to use tax laws, trusts, LLCs, corporations, and limited partnerships to insulate your personal and investment assets from lawsuits, minimize income taxes, and manage your assets, even after death.

.

An Exciting Opportunity Is Coming Your Way! Lee R. Phillips, United States Supreme Court Counselor

.

Lee is the nation’s leading expert in asset protection for real estate investors and small businesses. Using a combination of business structures and tax laws, you can add another 15% profit to your take home, and you can protect each of your properties from a meltdown of another property or business you may have. Lee has developed tax and asset protection strategies for hundreds of successful wealthy real estate investors and businesses over the past 40 years. He is coming to MREI on March 23 to share his strategies and show you how to implement them for yourself.

.

Knowing what your accountant and lawyer won’t tell you may mean the difference in retiring comfortably and retiring broke on Social Security. In today’s society, you don’t have to make gobs of money, but you do have to know how to keep it, or someone will take it away from you. The IRS is your major impediment to financial success. They take half of what you make – that’s a lot to lose. (If you don’t think you’re losing half, you’d better check it out on March 23. You’ll be stunned.) His mastery of the “tools of wealth” has made him a sought-after speaker for all types of professionals. He rarely spends an entire day with a small group, but that’s exactly the opportunity you have to share with us. Register Now to Save Your Seat!

.

He’ll show you how to:- Cut Your Tax Bill by 10-20% - Protect Your IRA and Retirement from Lawsuits and Judgments - Protect Your Real Estate Investments and Stock Investments from Lawsuits and Liens - Protect Your Assets in a Divorce - Use Real Estate as a Tax Shelter

.

Things you’ll learn:

Judgment-Proof Yourself from Lawsuits• The danger of putting business or real estate assets in a corporation. • Protect personal assets from business/real estate investment liabilities. • Does an LLC or a corporation give you better asset protection? • Where is the best place to incorporate or form your LLC? • Don't lose your short-term rental qualifications.

.

Protect Your Retirement Nest Egg• The checkbook IRA/LLC disaster that's coming • 100% asset protection for your retirement funds • The other part of ERISA that is even better than retirement plans • Current status of state laws protecting IRAs

.

Ten Urgent Steps to Reducing Your Income Taxes• Why AGI is the key issue today • How to get out of the Obamacare taxes • Save 13% off the top of the take-home money from your business • What type of corporation/LLC is best for tax savings? • Three tricks (loopholes) that can give you an extra $20,000 or more this year • Did you get the 199A exemption?

The smart bright people know the value of asset protection and tax planning. Spend the day with Lee and “sharpen your saw.” You don’t have to work any harder, but you can take home more money and protect what you’ve got. Join Lee on March 23 at 9 AM sharp at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy.
