All Topics / Legal & Accounting / Seeking knowledge on structures
Hi everyone,
I want to know what the best possible structure for holding properties is and the strategies that the billionaire’s use.
Under a trust structure, the profits are able to be distributed to the beneficiaries.
However, I NEVER want to own anything in my personal name ever and do not want to receive distributions personally for me or future family.
I want to know if a trust structure functions similarly to a company where I would be able to deduct all expenses and reinvest all profits back into the company, acquiring further assets.
Also, would I be able to recycle my income if I held the properties under a company, not a trust. I am finding it difficult to understand the advantages of operating under a trust (other than the superior asset protection it provides). Or would I be able to do essentially the same thing if I held the properties under companies, since I never want receive any distributions.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie
Hi Charlie,
I hear you asking more and more about Trusts. I can’t help you directly, but I can refer you to Steve’s earlier book – “From 0 – 130 properties in 3.5 years”. Get the updated version from 2010, then seek out Chapter 9 and DEVOUR it. I found it fascinating reading on the subject of Trusts and how Steve uses them, and I am sure it will answer a heap of your questions.
Of course, though the book is educational, it cannot replace the worth of a professional (your Lawyer and/or Accountant) well versed in these structures who will be advising you re YOUR OWN situation.

I’ve published a book on “Things Your Accountant Never Told You About Investing in Property”. I cover structures as part of the discussions in the book that you might find useful.
It’s free so even better
