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.

I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price. If you need help updating your financial plan or just getting one in place, check out our list of recommended financial advisors at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/financial-advisors.
