Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast

No one wants to get sued, but if you plan to build a real estate empire, the question is not so much 'if' but 'when.' At least according to our guest exert today. Scott Royal Smith is a real estate investor and asset protection attorney in Austin, TX. He graduated from Albany Law School and began his career in high-stakes corporate litigation. It was then he learned the key secret he now uses to defeat lawsuits: that they are a business. Through his defense work, he targets defeating lawsuits before they are even filed by making sure the business part of a lawsuit no longer makes financial sense for a plaintiff to proceed. Scott founded Royal Legal Solutions to offer tax, business, and legal strategies to real estate investors. He has spent the past 8 years of his career diving through case law, reading the ever-changing tax code, and analyzing real estate investment so that you don't have to. He works with clients all over the United States and Canada who want to grow their businesses and protect their hard-earned assets. For reasons only he may know, he gets a particular thrill out of sharing the secrets he studied and worked very hard to learn with ordinary investors. He is a regular expert contributor to BiggerPockets.com and other real investment communities, and is currently writing an eBook on asset protection strategies to help educate the public.

I don't know how you do that, by the way! And unfortunately, even with all those hours with very high pay, many people are still struggling to get by day to day financially, since the cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area is so high. So how do you get out of the rat race? Our guest today did it and is here to tell us how. JC Castillo, welcome!
