Such an insightful analysis here. Thanks a lot, Mark! Gosh… the first time someone explained the “trifecta system” to me, I swear I sat there like I had just discovered the director’s commentary for the entire U.S. tax code. I remember thinking, “Hmmm… so you’re telling me wealthy folks aren’t just filing taxes… they’re architecting their lives?” Because once you see how they combine an LLC for operations, an S‑Corp for income strategy, and a holding company for ownership and protection, it feels like watching someone play 4D chess while you’re still trying to remember how the knight moves. And the wild part is, none of it is shady—it’s just structure, timing, and understanding the rules the way the rule‑makers intended. I walked away from that conversation feeling like I had been paying retail taxes my whole life while the rich were out here stacking coupons. Once you see the trifecta, you can’t unsee it… it changes the way you look at every dollar you earn.

Can you please cite specific tax codes that make what you're claiming real? For instance, how you can have tax-advantaged accounts (IRA, HSA, etc.) in a living trust. A trust can be a beneficiary but not own the accounts. Also, the relationship between s-corp and W2 income. Are you stating compensation as and employee of the s-corp or other W2 income?

Totally disappointed they opened a trust but they failed to confirm the property description so now I have to find a title company to correct it. I found these people on YouTube big mistake if I was you I’ll choose someone else.

If I already have an LLC can I turn it to a holding company or do I have to open new LLC the correct way?

You mentioned you manage the LLC or S corporation, but whose name is in the LLC? If you own the LLC and manage it in the same time, the judge may void that LLC in some state. Is that true?

Thanks for the financial and tax information Mark J Kohler.

Getting an attorney to setup the Trust, when you can't trust any attorneys is the problem. They always sneak in some POA in there so they can steal everything from you. Watch the movie "I care a lot".

Also don’t use chicken scratch to explain. Too sloppy to read

Problem with s corp is it's very expensive to run it the IRS wants you to delete your company's chekcing accounts to zero then you have to take salary on top of it which is impossible to do at once.

In Texas, if a 100% disabled veteran, who is exempt from property taxes, transfer the title of the property into the Trust, will they property tax exemption be terminated? As the home is now in a different entity. Thoughts?

He is talking about a topic for far too long. It’s simple put all your business activities into LLc, make s corp that you own a partner into those LLC. Pay your self salary from s corp ( usually 50 perfect of your profits) rest of the profits you do not pay social security tax, Medicare tax, unemployment tax but you are still responsible for paying federal taxes. Remember this 90 percent of us will have to pay taxes no matter what you do. You can save some money into tax but it will never be eliminated or it’s not going to be as great as this people on internet are selling to you. One more advice stop buying this classes online most of them are full of bull.

But… how do we know the trust is carried out properly after the trustee / owner of the house dies?… with the probate there is the judge, the court, the lawyer… who overseas the trustee?…

Hello,

I just purchase a triplex under my landtrust name and beneficialy of the trust is my WY LLC with no EIN # which will be a owner accuplied 2 of the units. Should I become my own tenant and start paying my self a rent or report it as a Primery resident.

@johnb9710
@

did i hear correct? $1500 for a consultation?

@blackdiamondrob
@

Or PAY TAXES, wealthy people, because you enjoy the benefits and infrastructure from taxes like the rest of us and its a far less burden for the wealthy than the struggling lower classes that you have unfairly burdened with this responsibility. Luxury welfare is absurd.

@marz9676
@

unscrupulous lawyers can just SUE the trust?!! especially for outside liability like car accident. Why not irrevocable trust to leave real estate to kids?

@LAKitchen
@

So why use a trust over yourself? Any real benefit ? An llc works just fine to keep you from personal loss right?

@Chueng7366

Thank you! Structure is everything!
