Brian is a partner at Thompson Burton in Franklin, Tennessee, where roughly 90% of the firm's work is real estate-related, from syndications and 1031 exchanges to development and land use.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Your CPA looks backward — your attorney looks forward. Tax strategy has to happen before the year ends, not after.
2. Never hold real estate or investment assets in your personal name. A liability shield also gives you flexibility to bring in partners and grow.
3. Entity structure matters before you enter a deal — setting up the right LLC or fund structure from day one makes everything downstream cleaner.
4. Stress test every deal you consider. Look at best case, worst case, IRR, cash-on-cash, and the local tax environment before committing capital.
5. Multiple income streams are the path to freedom — Brian went from burnout at 50 Saturdays a year to a growing portfolio funded largely by tax savings reinvested into assets.
