Asset Protection: What you Must Know about Lawsuits and Taxes

No longer can you simply buy a house, fix it, rent it, and get rich over time.  You have many hands in your pocket – Thieving Tenants, Uncle Sam, and Murphy’s Law.
You must plan properly to protect your assets from the tax man and the lawsuit man.  
REIN proudly brings you 2 experienced professionals at February’s General Meeting.
Robert Notestine, Attorney at Law, has 5 college degrees and 25 years’ experience in real estate, zoning law, development, title insurance, commercial law, and landlord-tenant contract law.
Henry Martin, CPA, helps structure tax reduction strategies to maximize income.  Henry has a securities license and a background in Audit, Personal and Corporate Tax, Estate Tax, and Business Valuations.
You’ll get the low-down on Asset Protection at this Special Event:
- what are assets – and what are NOT
- business entity structuring
- how taxes apply to different types of entities – or don’t apply
- why a sole proprietorship may make sense when starting out
- how to avoid lawsuits
- how to title your assets
- why liens can be your best friend
- and answers to YOUR questions
If you have ever asked a legal question and been told to ask your tax person, or vice versa, then this is the meeting for you!  Learn how it all fits together to bring you short-term and long-term asset protection from taxes and lawsuits.
Invite a friend and join us at REIN’s General Meeting for this very important Presentation.

Beat the Heat at REIN’s July meeting….

Networking and Deal Making at the REIN Education Center

Many REIN Members take the Winter months off to rest, relax, and refinance.  But in July.... LOOK OUT!  REIN Members are BUSY finding, fixing, flipping, leasing, optioning, and selling deals.

Now is your chance to tell about yours and hear about theirs!

Bring your best sales pitch to this!  Raise your hand and have 30 seconds to tell the crowd what real estate deals you want to buy or sell.  Or that you have or need money.  Rules: keep it clean, keep it short, and keep it about your real estate needs or wants.

7:15 to 8:30 pm    Q & A - Roundtable Style
Long-time REIN Members know this as the original Table Topics part of our meetings from years ago.  Each table will have a topic for discussion.  Rentals, rehabbing, lease options, wholesaling, and so on.  Choose your table and stay as long as you want.  Hop up quietly and move to another table as you wish.
