WCI Podcast #307 - Private Real Estate Versus REITs

Today we are answering more of your real estate questions. We discuss if it is a good idea to have your rental properties in an LLC, if you can claim a loss on US taxes for an international property, and where to store your money that you want to direct towards syndications. Our guest today is Michael Episcope from Origin Investments. He tells us about what funds are available currently, what new changes are happening at Origin and helps answer a listeners question about passive real estate versus REITs.
