Forming An LLC For Your Real Estate Business

Rob Rowsell’s personal CPA is here to explain why property investors should form a real estate investment LLC. There are so many tax advantages built into this method of incorporation. Limiting liabilities, using cost segregations, and other investor tax tricks are just a few advantages to forming a real estate investment LLC. Rob also adds a few tips, and reminds us that the government needs to know we spend at least 750 hours on our property business in order for them to consider us a real estate professional.

Why Should Property Investors Form A Real Estate Investment LLC?

Rob’s CPA Kevin Bassett of Bassett and Associates joins the call. His first order of duty is to explain why we should form a real estate investment LLC. An LLC, or Limited Liability Corporation, is a great protection for your business, especially if you invest in multi-family rental properties.

One advantage of an LLC is the ability to use Cost Segregation. This strategy front loads your tax depreciation, but it only works if you have an LLC. Hire an inspector to come in and survey your apartments. If you have a $10 million complex, your inspector could break the units into components, possibly finding up to $2 million worth of accelerated depreciation. Fixtures, parking lots, and electrical items needing repair or updating. You can write this off right away, instead of over decades. This can wipe out some or all of a year’s income, saving you huge on taxes.

Kevin then lists other tax advantages to forming an LLC. These tax strategies include 1031 exchanges and long term capital gains rates, as well as installment sales.

Rob Rowsell Responds

Next, Rob adds the two reasons real estate investors should form entities. First, as we’ve discussed before, is for asset protection. Second, a Real Estate Investment LLC provides anonymity for you and your investors, if you set up your LLC to be managed by another party. This allows you to maximize your tax savings with the variety of deduction strategies Kevin mentioned. This benefit is available in many states, but not all, so consult your legal team and CPA before taking action.

Finally, Rob asked Kevin to outline the requirements one must complete in order to be recognized by the US government as a Real Estate Professional. We must verify that we spend 750 hours per year working in the industry. This means managing, acquiring property, and even long term holds. Construction contractors may also qualify for the real estate trades. In order to be certified, you also must prove that you spent more time working in real estate than any other trade. We discuss how to log these hours in another post.

ATL Success Story: Jake and Nicki Garcia

In this clip, Rob Rowsell talks about his former rehab roommate Jake Garcia’s real estate journey. Like Rob, Jake is also a former drug addict. Years after achieving sobriety, Jake reached out to Rob for advice, in order to advance his new career. Today, Jake and Nicki own over 60 rental homes in the state of Arizona. They are a true real estate success story.

Real Estate Success Story

When Rob Rowsell first befriended Jake Garcia, they were both recovering drug addicts. They roomed together on their road to wellness. As Rob documented in his book Addicted To Life, he was done with life on the streets, in an endless cycle of addiction to heroin and crack cocaine. Once each of these friends overcame their vices, they went their separate ways, but kept in touch. Rob’s fortunes grew as he advanced in the auto repair ownership field. Later, he sold his automotive shop businesses in order to concentrate full time on real estate. Jake took notice, and phoned his old roommate for tips on getting into property investing himself.

With Rob’s guidance, Jake and his wife Nicki dove into the real estate field. Before too long, the Garcias had become a real estate success story, investing in dozens of rental homes, 60 of which are in Arizona. To this day, Jake and Rob are good friends, and Jake attends our ATL Inner Circle Community meetings. These two share vast property investment knowledge with other ATL members every month.

Real Estate Wholesale For Beginners – How To Start Investing

The real estate market in the United States has exploded in recent years as property values have risen. Naturally, savvy investors have jumped in and reaped huge benefits. If you’re just getting started in property investing, how do you get a foot in the wholesaling game? On a recent ATL Inner Circle Community gathering, Rob unveiled the secrets to the real estate wholesale strategy.

When Rob buys a wholesale property, he approaches the seller with paperwork in hand, and a very small amount of cash. His “Favorite Five” investors are standing by, cash in hand, awaiting the results of the inspection and termite check he has commissioned. Having developed great relationships with these buyers, many of them pitch in for the property sight unseen. God blessed Rob with these connections, and he has worked very hard to cultivate them. As you gain experience in the real estate investing market, it’s up to you to leverage these connections when you find them.

Rob finally sums everything up, stating that real estate wholesale is a great way for beginners to get into buying property. It is also one of his favorite strategies, because of the low barrier of entry, cost wise. As long as you study, network, and choose properties wisely, you are bound to find success.
