After the training your friend will work and communicate directly with the fund manager by doing the following: a) Your friend will find a vacant single tenant commercial building with the specific criteria they were asked to identify by the Fund Manager (there are 15 criteria such as heavy traffic, with a previous tenant that used to be a food operator so all would be set up for another fast food business as they are essential businesses and it also important to have with great national tenants nearby etc) b) your friend will contact the listing broker and will use the script given to her by the Fund Manager c) she will make an offer to purchase the property all cash and will send a proof of fund given to her by the fund manager showing that capital is sitting cash in the fund’s bank account.
Ian Sinclair Tax Time... Is it harder with SLLC vs. an LLC ?
16 August 2020 | 13 replies
I routinely work with numerous organizations that have a 1000 or more corporate vehicles including LLCs where sequestration of liability makes perfect sense given the relative active business risks which are enormous and the relative costs of establishing and maintaining the structure are negligible.So again I say show me a small real estate operator that has been saved by an expensive and cumbersome legal entity structure that couldn't have been done it at least as effectively and much more efficiently through fundamental risk mitigation practices which disciplines one to act responsibly from the outset.In other words, running what are essentially passive real estate activities by retaining competent and professional management and a modest amount of insurance coverage (which should effectively limit risk sourced to the RE activity), and if you need additional coverage (for risk sourced outside the RE) get some ultra affordable umbrella coverage.Now I realize you won't be able to able to strut down the street pretending you are a player because you have an LLC, but it seems to be a very very small price to pay for not being played for a fool wearing the LLC trappings of a clown.
