Your privacy is under attack again — and if you’re a real estate investor, you need to understand this new reporting rule before your next closing. A major real estate disclosure law just went into effect March 1st, 2026, and it could require you to report detailed ownership information when transferring residential property into an LLC.
In this video, Mark J. Kohler breaks down exactly who this new FinCEN real estate report applies to, when you’re exempt, and the serious penalties for getting it wrong. We cover common scenarios like transferring a rental into your own LLC, subject-to deals, and all-cash purchases — plus why traditional bank-financed closings are typically excluded. Most importantly, Mark shares a strategic workaround using trusts and LLC structuring to help protect both your assets and your privacy — while staying compliant!
If you’re a real estate investor using LLCs for asset protection, this is a must-watch! Make sure you understand the rules before your next deed transfer.
