Online Seminar: How (and Why) to Create and Use Your Own Land Trust
(Note: You can’t get your link to this class here; you have to register on our website, which is HERE)
You’ve probably heard of land trusts.
You may have even been told you should be using them.
But if you’re like most investors, your understanding stops somewhere between “I think they’re for privacy? Or maybe subject to deals?” and “Wait… are they even legal where I invest?”This online masterclass will finally give you the plain-English, real-world education you need to start using land trusts the right way—for privacy, flexibility, and creative dealmaking.
Your guide is Todd Van Meter, a 30-year real estate veteran, homebuilder, and landlord who’s been teaching other investors about land trusts since before the internet was a thing.
He’s not an attorney—he’s a highly experienced investor who’s been successfully using land trusts for decades and knows how to explain them in a way YOU will understand, even if you’re brand new. Even if you’ve been confused by them before.
Here’s just some of what Todd will clear up:
- What a land trust is (and what it isn’t)—how it’s created, what makes it different from other trusts, and how it’s NOT some government-registered entity
- The key players: grantor, beneficiary, trustee—and what they each actually do
- How bad documents can really mess you up…like make your property practically un-sellable
- The tax realities of land trusts: no EIN needed, but that doesn’t mean there are no taxes—here’s how it really works
- Who actually owns the property in a land trust (spoiler: it’s not the trust!)
- How to choose (and control) your trustee—so they don’t go rogue...and what happens if your trustee dies, disappears, or just won’t cooperate
- What happens when you’re the trustee AND the beneficiary
- What land trusts don’t do: they’re not bulletproof asset protection, not lawsuit shields, and not invisible to the IRS
- The awesome use cases beyond privacy—including how they make partnerships, creative deals, and title transfers WAY easier,
Whether you’re just getting started with land trusts or already trying to use them and confused, this workshop will save you months or years of trial and error—and probably thousands of dollars in bad legal advice.
Yes, the workshop will be recorded—and you’ll get access to the recording even if you can’t attend live (but only if you’re registered, of course!)
