    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    There are many reasons couples decide not to get married. Some choose to live together before getting married, while others see no need to walk down the aisle to make the relationship official. According to a Pew Research study, there is a growing acceptance of cohabitation in America.

    The study also revealed that the number of adults in the U.S. who are currently married is down from 58 percent in 1995 to 53 percent today. Over the same period, the number of Americans living with an unmarried partner increased from 3 percent to 7 percent.

    In spite of these trends, unmarried couples may not realize that they do not have the same legal rights as marriage partners. This presentation will explore estate planning for unmarried couples and why it should be a priority for you and your significant other.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    This session of Royal Investing opened with a quick presentation about tax implications relative to land trusts. Not all trusts are required to file taxes. Revocable trusts are the simplest to set up and have no impact on your tax filings.

    The remainder of the time involved a QA session with attendees. Scott provided valuable insight on a variety of land trust questions, including:

    • Does a land trust need to be listed on my insurance policy and an additional insured?
    • How does a land trust add a layer of asset protection?
    • Who should sign as the trustee to maintain anonymity?
    • How does discovery work if a litigation attorney is considering taking a case?
    • Can I do anything to protect my assets if I am already involved in a lawsuit?
    • ... and more!

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Aaron Porter, Royal Legal Solutions Insurance Manager, met with the group today to discuss how Land Trusts relate to insurance and an overall asset protection plan. As with any asset of value you own, you will want to protect it from lawsuit and mitigate risk of loss or damage.

    Listen to learn about the different coverage levels available for property insurance: what they include and what they don't. Did you know? By spending just a few more dollars a month, you can get the best coverage available vs. buying a budget policy that might leave you in a bad situation should the unexpected arise.

    Hear from attendees as they share some of their hard-learned lessons involving gaps in arson and fire damage coverage. Find out which benefits may have the most significant impact on total cost.

    You may have wondered if a property owned by a land trust for the benefit of anonymity needs insurance coverage. Does the trust name need to be listed on your policy? Absolutely. Your claim will be denied if the land trust is listed on the deed but not in your policy.

    Aaron shares best-practices to get the most coverage at the best price.

    Pete shared a simple cost benefit analysis guideline to help determine which entity structure is the best relative to current business size or earned income. Also, learn how your decision may be affected depending on if your income is active or passive.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    We were joined by Charles Bulthuis of Reformation Asset Management firm in this session. His company offers a holistic approach to acquiring, managing, and growing real estate assets utilizing a comprehensive array of services. They will tailor an investment strategy to match your individual goals and execute it at every step with deep expertise.

    Charles provided his analysis of economic cycles and how they impact investment decisions. He used historical comparisons from the 1970s and 1980s where conditions were similar including:

    • Rising inflation that cause demand-destruction
    • Rising interest rates
    • Reduction in transactional volume
    • Political unrest
    • Energy crisis
    • Supply chain issues

    Currently, we are trending towards stagflation which is defined by rising inflation, slow economic growth, and increased unemployment. Key economic indicators such as these, inform strategic decision-making.

    In the past, tools used to combat recession included:

    • Reduce government spending
    • Lower interest rates
    • Increase energy production

    However, until we see government policy supporting these types of actions, we can expect current trends to continue.

    What does this mean for real estate investors? Good news, real estate remains a strong asset class even during these uncertain times. Charles anticipates rents to increase. This will be driven by population growth combined with an existing housing shortage and the cost to build new homes being high. He then provided an argument for why multi-unit properties can provide more security than single-family home rentals.

    For those looking to diversify, Charles shared a few of his preferred alternatives along with his rationale for choosing them.
