Flip Tip Transcript:
Mike: Hey, It’s Mike Hambright with FlipNerd.com, and we have a quick tip to share with you from Jack Shea, who’s going to share a tip on how to get real estate off your tax return.
Jack: That’s part of the secrets that we give up in these classes, Mike, that people can get real estate off their tax return into a trust column where all the Schedule E’s, for example, are merged into one trust, and it’s reported as the Hambright Trust, Uncle Harry Trust. And it’s all segued; it’s all in one line on the back of a schedule E by using K-1s and LLCs.
Mike: And how would somebody go about finding an accountant that could help with that, Jack?
Jack: We have a chart in the trust book, and we show you how in the class that you have the beneficial interest of each trust goes to an LLC.
Mike: Okay.
Jack: Okay? And each, say you had 20 houses. 20 house K-1s pour into the Hambright Family Trust. And so it’s 240,000, that’s a number, it’s one line on your tax return, no rents, no maintenance, no repairs, no depreciation. But all of that is back-up information in the K-1. Nothing illegal. People do it, and it’s a trick that you have to get in the tent to learn about it. It’s a strategy, I’d say.
Mike: Sure, sure.
Jack: Sound okay?
Mike: That sounds great. I’m just going to give you a link here, because I know it’s complicated, so go to JackSheaRealEstate.com. And Jack has more information, a lifetime of lessons of how to use trusts. Thank you, Jack.
Jack: And mistakes, many mistake.
Mike: Yes.
