Asset Protection for the Real Estate Investor
Since January 25th, I have had a nearly uncontrollable urge to write about the one hour sitcom I watched that same night at around 9 pm EST. This was one of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time. Of course I am talking about Barry O’s State of the Destruction Address. On […]
Detroit – Beyond Thunderdome
Last week I read an article in The Wall Street Journal titled, ‘Detroit and Decay’. It was truly disturbing. To me it tells a story about where this country is heading.

Asset Protection in the ‘Great Reset’
We are now living in what I call ‘The Great Reset’, which will require each of us to reevaluate our own effectiveness and value in society. In ‘The Great Reset’, we will experience many changes that will affect not only our lives, but the lives of the next generation as well. I hope you are […]

A FFI is any non-U.S. entity that accepts monetary deposits, holds financial assets for the accounts of others, or participates in the business of investing or trading securities, commodities, partnerships, […]
LLC Secrets to Keep Your Assets Safe
While we have found there are two main threats to your wealth; litigation and government intervention, the focus for today will be primarily on litigation. In 2008, there were nearly 1.2M practicing attorneys in the US alone and nearly 400K students in law school. Costs of litigation consumed 2.3% of the US GDP, or approximately […]
