Great Info. Just the subject I needed some info on. I will set up an appointment some time soon. Thank You!
this guy is the goat.
✅ great video!
1) if we set up a partnership manager-managed WY LLC, are the property state member managed LLCs then disregarded entities once more since now they are single member LLC (owned by member WY LLC)?
2) if you live in MD > create a WY LLC to be the owner of property LLCs> create a FL property LLC (owned by WY LLC)> buy real estate in FL LLC name…..am I messing up because I don’t live or operate any business in WY? Do I have to pay franchise tax in both MD and FL?
Great video as always. I think it’s best to work with a CPA and avoid the Disregarded structure especially if you have multiple properties. Keep personal tax and business tax separated.
Thanks
this is fire
I am binge watching all videos...Very powerful and well delivered content... How do you set up minor child as your partner under holding company? As a trust? Wouldn't having that trust eventually break anonymity through public loan records? Thanks
I would not but if you did then hold the interest in a trust with you as the trustee and the child as the beneficiary.
I need to get a hold of you.. 👍🏼

Is great video and love it very educational and lots of information. Questions Mr Coons i will file a Taxes as a partnership under my current LLC But There is no income yet due to long vacancy plus the tenant not paying because of pandemic eviction rules. How works the K1 if no income? but there is expenses like interest and county taxes, utilities and some repairs?
Hi Clint! Excellent material.
Same structure but the parent company instead is an LLC (taxed as S-Corp) and it owns the individual disregarded LLCs, and it would then file 1120S tax return. Appears it can also achieve same result. What’s your opinion on this on having the parent company an S-Corp instead ? Thanks.
It works up to the point where you want to take excess depreciation (you need basis which can be an issue especially if you refinance) or if you pull an asset out of your structure it will be a taxable event.
Clint, I love your content. Please keep up the good work. There is however one complicating factor that you did not address.
IRC 721(a) states that a contribution to a partnership that is used to hold investments is treated as a sale of the property to the partnership by the contributing partner.
IRC 351 states that if 80% of the assets it holds are for investment purposes, it is an investment partnership and therefore subject to IRC 721 (a).
351 applies to corporate tax treatment. Also if you own and control the entity it is a non issue.
Very good video Clint, I'll like know if one this members can have 100% and other 0% i ask you this because I went to a forum on the subject and one person said that he opened an LLC Partnership with 2 partners, being that the Managing Partner will have 100% of the company and the other partner will have 0% of the company, so I ask you: can that be right? no future problems?Being allowed this, with respect to form 1040 both have to fill out or in the case of having a business with a partner with 0% would be dismissed?Grateful for your attention, tile excellent weekend.😎
Depends. If the other members have a profit interest then it could work. Not sure what type of interest the other partners held but if its just 0 then no way.
This pertains to your Trust video. Can a land trust under a partnership LLC in a non community state for a married couple do a 1031 exchange?
A trust holding investment property can qualify for a 1031. Best to consult with a CPA before you engage in such a transaction.

In your example of simplifying your clients tax return and triggering an audit, if it were the opposite way, going from disregarded LLC rentals to partnership rentals w k1, could that also raise risk of audit since it's a change? Great video.
Thank you. Will the anonymity be blown if file tax using either Schedule E or K?
Would I set up the partnership corporation that holds my rentals in Wyoming as well? Great stuff!
in the example of 1040 pg1 vs pg 2, you say they give you full credit for the income on your underwriting but this is now a commercial loan rather than a personal loan correct? so you are trading off that 25% higher income for possibly worse loan terms (interest rate, callable period, amortization time line, etc.) in theory, correct?
No it is still a residential loan but it is how the underwriter calculates income reported on your 1040.
7:57 Are there tax ramifications by having the rentals now appear on page 2 of Schedule E when they were in page 1 of Schedule E last tax year?
When you set up the individual property LLCs as Disregarded, and they are all owned by your Partnership WY Holding Company, does each of the property LLCs have to file a return, or do they simply roll up into the WY Holding Company 1065 return, which then goes to your personal return in the form of a K1?
6:12 For happily married couples, is your best suggestion to have the husband and wife as partners?
I'm just curious... What happens to the HC partnership if one of the partners dies? Would the surviving spouse have to give some ownership to someone else or another entity? Thanks again!
My WY LLC is currently 100% owned by my C Corp. Does this mean I need to add myself as a member to that LLC?
Clint, instead of using a Wyoming partnership LLC to own my local disregarded LLC, which would then hold a commercial real estate property, can I instead have my local disregarded LLC taxed directly as a partnership LLC? Thank you.
Yes you can but you will need 2 owners in the local LLC to elect partnership tax status.
Clint I have a question, in Michael Bowmans book How to Start and Run Your Business The Right Way, he says business owners in a partnership have no corporate-veil protection. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a Wyoming LLC as a holding company for investment property or rentals in disregarded LLCs owned by the holding company? Thanks
I think he meant if you are not using a WY LLC you will not have the protection.
I currently have a texas LLC for a property. I want to make a multi member LLC structure with my mom to do that property to get it on the 1065. Is that all I really have to do? The LLC already has a business bank account. Do I need a business bank account for the partnership(multi member) LLC as well? Then we pay ourselves dividends? Thanks
Nothing will need to change with the LLC bank account if you add your mother onto your LLC.
Hi Clint. I don't have anyone who is willing to be a partner even for a .5 or .1. In this case, is it just best to go with the disregarded entity?
So who is the Responsible Party on the SS4 for the Utah LLC if it's owned by a partnership? You have to use a "natural person" so the IRS doesn't know a holding company owns that Utah LLC until you file taxes?
Thank you for this video. I love how you illustrate as you explain. Make a lot of sense. Question: will this work for California and can avoid the $800/year?
No but you can use a Wyoming Statutory Trust or land trust to avoid the $800. Check out my other videos. If you would like a FREE 30-minute consultation, you can request one here

If I own rental property in CA under a WY DisRgrd LLC and also own a CA C-corp set up as a management co., should my WY LLC be Manager Managed or Member Managed? And who should be the Member/Manager?
NOTE: My CA C-Corp is owned by my WY Holding Co.
Thank you for this video Clint! Quick question - I have two LLCs. One is taxed as an S-corp and the other is taxed as a Partnership. I know an LLC can own other LLCs. I also know a "Partnership" cannot be a shareholder of a corporation. My question is, can my LLC taxed as a Partnership be a shareholder/owner of my LLC taxed as a S-corp since they are both LLCs?
@@ClintCoons I see. Can the corporation that you list as a partner in your Wyoming LLC be an LLC tax as an S-corp or should it be a traditional corporation (s or c)?
Can I transfer my deed to an LLC that isn’t registered and hold the deed until I am ready to complete the transfer?
Are you asking can you deed a property to an LLC and not record the deed with the county? If so the answer is yes. Recording a deed is not a legal requirement for transferring title to real estate.
If this is the case, can one retract a transfer by simply shredding the notarized deed since nobody is aware that it occurred? Of course, I am referring to a transfer between two entities that are both controlled by the same individual.
If a renter pays $2000, and the mortgage on the property is $2000, without any depreciation and other expenses, the passive income is zero. In this new model, would the K1 only show as if one has earned $24,000 of income. Where is the offsetting expense of the mortgage coming in. Otherwise it doesnt make sense to gift Sam $5000ish in taxes. Assumption: The mortgages are paid out of personal bank. Thx
The mortgage is not an expense only the interest paid on the mortgage. Thus, if you earn $2,000 and your mortgage is $2,000 ($1,600 interest and $400 principal) then you have $400 in income because the principal payment is not deductible.
If I have a group of friends that have $100,000 each to allocate towards a property, how would I proceed with paying the least taxes? Would c corp work because were using retained earnings to parlay onto another property

@@ClintCoons At this point should I just schedule an appointment with the attorney in Key West Florida so they can manage the operating agreements? Should i go with a disregarded llc first and then c corporation and having it wrapped around

I feel like the last paragraph on page 3 would not agree with this strategy. do you have any other suggestions?
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-02-22.pdf
Andrey I read page 3 but I am confused as to the reference you are drawing from my video. Could you give me more specifics?
@@ClintCoons this plus a partnership definition on the 1065 instruction page seems to indicate that just because you co own a property and merely rent lease and maintain it, it doesn't exist as a legitimate partnership in the eyes of the irs unless you provide services to the tenants.. how would everyday people who join together in a partnership justify themselves to the irs if they were to get challenged on the fact that their partnership is invalid when using this strategy?
if you and your partner are using the home state llc to collect rents, perform maintenance and conduct business there, if using the same logic as Rev. Rul. 75-374, 1975-2 C.B. 261, i'm assuming it wouldn't constitute as partnership for federal tax purposes
@@andreykutyushev1153 That is correct. The LLC would be a partnership unless you elect to treat it as a corporation.
