Good News: Tax Loopholes Aren’t Just for Trump
Trump only paid $750 in federal income taxes. The even BETTER news is, those same rules apply to you too, and there are loopholes a-plenty for you too!

August 24, 2020 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director, GWP Watching California is like watching the fall of a great empire. As I look further into it, it looks like California and the Federal […]
Digital Nomad Opportunities… Even for Americans
Countries aren’t just selling citizenships, they are selling extended visas for those who are looking to give the digital nomad life a whirl.
