  Speaker 1: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in twenty nineteen, my life changed buying real estate,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: doing all these great things. I understood the value of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: having real estate and wanting to hand it over to
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: my legacy, to create a legacy with that. But once
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I actually went to create a living trust and I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: saw what it can do, That's when I knew I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: had a bigger narrative I needed to share with the people.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: So my thing was I looked at who created a
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: living trust to hand it down through their legacy, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I said, it's Rockefeller. So I went on to read
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the Rockefeller Trust from nineteen thirty four, and also there's.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: A book called What would Rockefeller Do?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: So I stayed up reading all these things about how
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he would take this, put it in an account and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: only give a portion to the legacy, and then have
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: his children create a trust. And now that money compound interest.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't give it to him until they turn a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: certain age. And I'm like, I could do that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We can do that.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: The information was right there. So I sat down with
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: my trust attorney. I said, I want to do that, Like, well,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you want to do it, but I want to do that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: It can be done.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So we structured it, worked it out where if not
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: if but unfortunately we all pass away. When I pass away,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a percentage of my properties would be sold, not the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: ones that I hold long term, like I have properties
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I do keep my short term properties those would be sold.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: That money would now go into a brokerage account. That
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: brokerage account would be in the name of the trust.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: That money for that specific account would be for my
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: grandchildren starting off, not my immediate family. My immediate family
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: would get my life insurance policies, which are millions of
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: dollars policies and the main properties that I hold, So
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: they are taken care of. But we need to start
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: thinking about the grandkids, the great grandkids, those generations.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: How do you start their growth? You start their.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Growth by putting that money in a brokerage account, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: they don't get that money until they turn twenty one
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: years old. So let's use the example of a million dollars.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I put a million dollars in a brokerage account for
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: my grandkids. They don't get that till they turn twenty one,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: gaining six percent interest six percent interest.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: They say, that's twenty one.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So that money turns up to about three point eight
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: million dollars for my grandkids.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: My grandkids, they wouldn't get it all that we could have.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: By one point six till I leave one point six
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in there for my great grandchildren for twenty one years,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: turns into about three four five six. That turns into
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: about six point seven million dollars for my great grandchildren.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They don't get it all they could have, So now
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that's about one point one know about two point two
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: point three two point three stays in for my great
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: great grandchildren so they get about eight point one million dollars.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: You see how that happens. That's compound interest over twenty
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: one years. So we have to look at that number.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But what makes the trigger and the explosion even bigger
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is the fact that what Rockefeller did is that was
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: just his trust. What he did was, now each children
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: opened up, each child opened up a trust. So now
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: his children had a trust, so he would pay his grandchildren,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and his children would pay them.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: That's twice.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: So now his grand his children, then his grandchildren have
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a trust, so his great grandchildren would get paid three times.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: So now if we look at rockefeller trust paid out
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: now eleven generations and counting continuously. And what he also
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: did was have a life insurance policy on every person
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in the trust, creating his own bank.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: And now what does that do. This is my structure.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Also, any one of my children or grandchildren who want
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to start a business, what do they do? Talk to
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the trustees and now you borrow money. We become our
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: own bank. So when someone dies, that money goes into
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the trust. You pay when you get the policy, you
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: pay it outright, So now that money is available in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the trust. So now also what I did was I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: retweaked my trust last year, and it was twenty one
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that I wouldn't give them money.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I changed it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I changed the way they get money at eighteen and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: they can have a business started at eleven. You know
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: why because now with technology, kids are now figuring out
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: new ways to start a business.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: So I want them to be able to.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Present a business loan, a business proposal to the trustees
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: so they could borrow money. These are the things where
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we don't look at them. When people say I don't
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: have the money to do this. You know what, I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: tell them, Yes, you do. The here you breathe is money,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a life insurance policy. Soon as you die, you worth money.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: They are general and there are groups of people when
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: people die, their objectives to make sure they have a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: policy on their grandmother, policy on their father, to do
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: exactly what we're talking about. But we look at this
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: taboo when it can't be taboo. It shouldn't be taboo.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: The main thing about it is you're thinking about the legacy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And when I tell people, when I speak to you,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not speaking you don't speaking to.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Your leg legacy. You're just a vessel for me to
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: get the message to you.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So you can hear the message and see it and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it reverberates in your brain. And as it's doing this,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you literally are talking to your legacy. While I'm speaking,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: going I got you, don't worry. Storm told me how
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to do it. Now I'm gonna give me a life
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: insurance policy. When people have a life insurance policy, let's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: say roughly four million dollars, you have half a million
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: dollars left on your home mortgage, and you say to yourself,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I'm leaving my family a million dollar. Actually you're not,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: because when you die, that policy has to pay half
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a million to the mortgage so they can stay in
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the house. You're only leaving them half a million dollars.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: We don't think about that mortgage behind us. So this
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: is where I say, get yourself a whole life. Excuse me,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: get yourself a term that's for a half a million
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: or a million dollars just to cover the house so
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: your real policy doesn't get broken up. And now you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: have that term, pay off the mortgage, any money left,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: put it in a broken's account, and now you start
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the system.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: So let's stay on this conversation about the trust for
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: a minute. So irrevocable life insurance trust or.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: A revocable Let's just start off as a revocable voc
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: because you want to be able to.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Say something because you and you can change it. Yes,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: all right, So all right, so who shut this up
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: for you? Your attorney?
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my statement?
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: You told them or they you educated them, or they
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: educated you. Obviously they're already educated because their attorney. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: it sounds like you kind of already had some idea
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: of what you wanted to do because you did some
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: reading before that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So what was the process?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: You kind of said this is what I want to do,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: and then they kind of added to it or they
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: said this is what you should do.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I came to them with my plan and my structure first,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and I really wasn't taking a note for an answer
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: because I know it could be done. And there are
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: some people that, like there are mechanics who are broke,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: like they just don't know fully how to do certain things.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: So you really have to find the right person that
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: does these things. And I would always say, speak to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: someone who has a trust, speak to someone who you
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: know they can refer you to someone.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: But that takes time.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But they would give me little tidbits of where we
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: can do this, or they have a network of people
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and a law firm and they reach out to them.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Like my first trust costs me about twelve thousand dollars.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: My newest one costs me roughly almost twenty thousand because
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I have a lot.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Of things to fund it with.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: But of starting out, trust probably run you anywhere from
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: three to six thousand dollars.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: But you have to look at the big picture.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But I started out having a plan and I really
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: really was adamant about getting this structure done.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: That was it for me. You will too, Yeah, with
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the trust, there's a thing called a poor over will.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: That's attached to the trust for all the items that
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you don't put into the trust automatically palls over and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: fall into the will, like jewelry, like they that are
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: air looms, it'll automatically go in that will.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying that thinking, obviously you're educated. How often
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: are you meeting with your trust attorney? Because I was
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: having a conversation with a young lady the other day
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and she's finding it hard to have her parents, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: even buy into the idea of a trust. So how
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: often did you meet with family if you did at all?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And how often did you meet with the trust attorney?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Is that like a once a year thing or was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it every six months? Because I'm sure you acquiring properties
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and other assets throughout the year, Like, how often is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that happening?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: In the beginning, when I started, we had to have
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a conversation literally it was about almost every other week,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: sometimes every week to plan us out with insurance and
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Very complicated.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: But once it was set, the updating of the trust
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: is every three years, right, but if there's something of
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: urgency that I need to update, because here's the thing,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and I want to throw this part also, I'm gonna
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: drop it, y'all pick us up. When you're buying things
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: in you're holding company, you're holding LLC should be in
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the name of your trust. So if something happens to you,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the properties automatically fall into the trust, automatically fall in there,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: so you don't have to fund the trust because the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: trust own the LLC. So if let me give a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: quick example. You know how you put your name on
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: every single LLC. You open up a LLC, you put
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: your name on it, open up the LLC, you put
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: your name on it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: But if you was to have.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: The property one two three Smith Street in its own LLC.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: The name on that LLC would not be you, it
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: would be your trust. So if something ever happens, it
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: automatically goes to the trust because you sign the trust
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: over as the owner. Does that make sense? Automatically so
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: would trinkle effect. So with that being said, excuse me.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, you wouldn't have to fund
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: one at a time. You could just have that trust
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: own it. All these LLCs bile straight in from your holding.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: But also to let me not glaze over something you said,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it's so pot want to have the conversation with your
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: family and sit them down and explain. Because my thing was,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: after everything's said and done, my lawyer, we would have
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the conversation with each one of them. Here's who's getting this,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: who's the trust, there's the trustee, this is what's gonna happen,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: this is what it's supposed to be. I want you
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: to do this, and it's a thing I'll call a
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: letter of trust, handwritten. I want this copy of this
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: letter in my hand written form and my signature be
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: copied for every generation, every trustee, so they could look
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and go.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: He thought about me. I want them to see what
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I meant and.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Why I did this, because that's powerful and they will
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: get it and go.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Man, my great great grandfather thought about me. So that letter.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: You don't have to, but the thing is always impacted.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: So you need to have that discussion with your kids,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: your grandkids. There's only so far trust can go. It
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: only could go to the last person alive in your
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: generation up to a certain age. So like if I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: have my grandchildren, my last one or he would have
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to now take the trust format and restart it again
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: and follow the same thing. Trusts can't live on an infamy.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: So you've created the generational wealth and the other part
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: was just the sustainable wealth yep, Like that's the key, right,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: because it could get mixed up from generation generation. Yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: but what you're doing is pretty much putting up the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: barriers like, no, we're going to sustain this forever forever.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: The biggest, biggest mistake that a lot of people make,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: unfortunately when we have real estate is thinking that our
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: children want to be landlords.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: We can't.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: We can't assume that they want to be landlords. I
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: had a friend of mine who I knew through someone else.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: He died didn't have a trust, left the properties to
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: his kids in a will.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: They sold them because they didn't want nothing to do
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: with real estate.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: That's that destroyed me because I knew what his objective was.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: So we need to put things in place to go, Okay,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: if you don't want to be a landlord, this is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. I'm gonna have a company do this,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: gonna sell it, put the properties in the brokerage account
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: where it's gaining compound interest to do something.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: So that's the key.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: We need to stop, you know, really projecting our wants
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and needs on children and grandkids when.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, I got my own plan. That's cree y,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: that's Tree earners. What's up.
