WS1560: Opportunities For Diversification | #Highlights

Business diversification is a good way to ensure that you can weather a storm when there is one. In today’s #Highlights episode, we look back at our conversations with Brett Swarts and Hugh Odom who give real estate entrepreneurs options on how they can diversify their income stream.

Brett talks about the Deferred Sales Trust and how it offers a more flexible way to defer tax by acting as the middleman in transactions and allowing the seller time to choose what to invest in next. Meanwhile, Hugh breaks down which commercial real estate properties are prime candidates for a cell tower lease, and most importantly, he will tell us how we can avoid a $1,000,000 mistake. Enjoy the show!

Tweetables:

“We use a Deferred Sales Trust, which is just an installment sale, creative installment sale, to give them tax deferral, liquidity, and diversification. The best thing is the ability to buy or invest in other commercial real estate deals at an optimal timing so that they can create and preserve more wealth, and as a commercial real estate syndicator, so that you can add massive amounts of value to your partners, and so that you can create and preserve more wealth and attract more capital.”  – Brett Swarts

“Understand an opportunity — the knock on the door, the phone ring, the email that comes across, understand exactly not only what you are being offered but understand what you are giving up in exchange.” – Hugh Odom
