Did you know that some investors buy real estate under their own name? Well, what's wrong with that? It's your property, anyway. However, if you're purchasing an investment property or a property you intend to use for purposes other than your primary residence, it's best to buy it under an LLC. But, of course, there are pros and cons to any decision you make. In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas discuss their top 3 reasons for buying a property under an LLC vs. your personal name. They also discuss some disadvantages when choosing either option. So tune in and discover what Sam and Lucas have to say from their years of experience buying and selling real estate. “If you start an LLC, it is no longer a side hustle. You are a small business owner.” - Sam Primm“Having a clean set of books when owning rental properties is very, very important, and setting up separate checking accounts is the first step to help you do that.”- Lucas Walls In this Episode:-Buying a property under your personal name vs. under an LLC-Reason #1: Mindset - Setting up an LLC means you're now a business owner, and you'll begin taking each transaction more seriously-Reason #2: Accounting - When you set up an LLC, you can set up a business banking account instead of co-mingling your personal and business accounts; You can also take advantage of tax benefits-Reason #3: Liability Potential/ Asset Protection - An LLC protects you from personal liability in case of a business lawsuit-Are there disadvantages to forming an LLC? -Sam and Lucas play “The Net Worth Game”And more!Resources:-Schedule Your Free Business Strategy Consultation with Prime Corporate Services - https://primepartner.info/fasterfreedomConnect with Sam and Lucas:- Website - https://fasterfreedom.com/- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samfasterfreedom/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SamFasterFreedom/- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/faster-freedom/- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ0PT_ukTeNVAr0XPiSX2Lw- TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@samfasterfreedom

Did you know that recessions have little or no correlation to the real estate market? There’s so much fear on social media regarding whether we are or aren’t in a recession — and why, therefore, it’s not wise to be investing in real estate.  Sam and Lucas are going old school on this episode of The FasterFreedom Show. They're dropping the knowledge by giving us a FasterFreedom history lesson on, you guessed it, the history of US recessions!  What we learn is that recessions happen. They’re cyclical. What happens, though, if you follow the numbers, is that real estate goes up like crazy between recessions, so it's still a good, resilient investment to make. So actually, none of what we’re experiencing now in the markets is new — it’s just packaged differently.  Now then, what should you be looking at as your next investment? Where’s the opportunity? Sam and Lucas teach us to be greedy when other people are fearful — and vice versa. Join the FasterFreedom Show for some fascinating historical perspectives, and learn how to play ‘The Net Worth Game.’ Please join us! “The last six months, all you hear is ‘the recession is coming, the recession is coming.’ Bro, we’re in the recession.” - Lucas Walls “Winter is coming.

“If you had to do it all over again, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?” How many times have you heard that question?

If you're interested in knowing what those things are and want to implement those lessons as you start and grow your business, this episode is a real eye-opener. “Good debt is key.

You don’t wanna miss it!“There is literally no excuse not to at least get a base level of knowledge.

One of the biggest challenges a real estate investor faces is financing the investment. As a general rule, you need a lot of money to buy an apartment or a house, much more an apartment complex. So, can you buy a property with no money down? The short answer is yes. However, there are some factors to consider. Buying huge apartment complexes can be challenging, but buying small apartments is not too bad, and it's a great way to scale. In this episode, Sam and Lucas share a case study of how they bought a 12-unit apartment complex with no money. They walk you through how they found the deal and how they financed it. They also share the actual numbers so you can better understand how you can do the same thing. Let's find out how you can buy an apartment complex with no money in today's episode of The FasterFreedom Show. “This little 12-unit, I feel like it's so manageable for so many people. It's more than single families, but it's not a 50-unit or even 30-unit you got to raise millions. It's so manageable, especially when people hear the numbers on this property.” - Sam Primm “Every one of these buildings that we buy, the tenants love us. The only ones who don't like us are the ones who don't pay.”- Lucas Walls In this Episode:-How Sam and Lucas got the deal in 2018-How they funded the transaction without using their own money-What happened to the property value two years after?-Let's look at the numbers to understand the deal better-Sam and Lucas's Favorite Fast Food Joints and their favorite drinking game in college; they also chatted about Lionel Messi!And more!Connect with Sam and Lucas:- Website - https://fasterfreedom.com/- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samfasterfreedom/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SamFasterFreedom/- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/faster-freedom/- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ0PT_ukTeNVAr0XPiSX2Lw- TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@samfasterfreedom

As we approach 2023, you might be wondering if it's still a good idea to invest in real estate, especially during a recession. What is the best investment strategy? Which markets should you invest in? The housing and real estate markets typically suffer in a shifting market.

So tune in to this episode of The FasterFreedom Show to learn more about making wise investment decisions that can change your life in 2023. “You can wholesale from a different country if you have a phone. So wholesaling is the simplest one as far as you can do it anywhere.

If you want to grow your business, you need to delegate some tasks to other people. Now, that might be hard, especially if you think you're the only one who can do things right. But believe it or not, some people are better at being an operator than you could ever be.

So, listen up, take notes, and learn how to make more money during these crazy times. “If you're a smart investor and you're a business owner, there's always opportunities for you to take advantage of, or things you can sidestep, or you know, just things that can help you mitigate risks.”- Sam Primm  “Try not to worry about things that you can't control.
