In this episode, Joe Seagle answers questions about land trusts and provides insights into their benefits and processes. He explains how a land trust differs from other forms of property ownership, the process of setting up a land trust, the tax implications of owning property through a land trust, and the ability to homestead a property in a land trust. Joe also discusses the importance of anonymity in land trusts and the potential issues that can arise from too much anonymity. In this conversation, Joe Seagle discusses the importance of anonymity and asset protection in real estate ownership. He explains that entities like corporations and LLCs were created to limit liability and segregate liabilities. Anonymity can protect property owners from angry tenants and outside creditors. However, too much anonymity can be a problem when it comes to owning real estate, as it can make it difficult to verify ownership and handle legal matters. Joe also discusses the new anti-squatter act in Florida, which allows property owners to remove squatters without going through a lengthy court process.
