Loral Langemeier:

Hello, I have

Unknown:

my husband here too. My husband, Kenny. I don't know if

Unknown:

you can see him well.

Loral Langemeier:

What's his name?

Unknown:

Kenny.

Loral Langemeier:

Kenny, good to meet you too. And you're from

Loral Langemeier:

Minnesota. Yes. All right. And how'd you guys hear about me?

Unknown:

Uh, lots of Facebook online,

Loral Langemeier:

Facebook. All right. Well, and check out the

Loral Langemeier:

YouTube and Instagram, and all the other places you've been

Loral Langemeier:

working with Rebecca, correct?

Unknown:

Yes.

Loral Langemeier:

All right. Big question. So, I'm gonna take it

Loral Langemeier:

in chunks. I'm gonna ask questions along the way. You're

Loral Langemeier:

working at w2 does that mean both of you are w2

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: Correct.

Loral Langemeier:

All right, so you're both retail operations

Loral Langemeier:

part-time as worship director at your church. Your husband,

Loral Langemeier:

Kenny, there is local flatbed truck driver for commercial

Loral Langemeier:

concrete. We are getting burnout. No, can't imagine. And

Loral Langemeier:

you know you need something different. Kenny's a DJ on the

Loral Langemeier:

side, getting back to the business after nearly a decade.

Loral Langemeier:

You have two LLCs, one in Wyoming and one in Minnesota,

Loral Langemeier:

set up one's for the DJ business, the other is for

Loral Langemeier:

future real estate. So, I'm assuming since you live in

Loral Langemeier:

Minnesota, the DJ business will be it in the Wyoming LLC.

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: Yeah, they're both technically filed

Loral Langemeier:

under the Wyoming LLC, but they're operating in Minnesota.

Loral Langemeier:

So, you started them in Wyoming, and

Loral Langemeier:

then foreign registered? Yes. Completely wrong. Whoever told

Loral Langemeier:

you to do that? Who told you to do that?

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: There, there were some like entity

Loral Langemeier:

registration experts that recommended that.

Loral Langemeier:

No, because what you did is you just, just

Loral Langemeier:

Minnesota, you know, is not all the way to California or New

Loral Langemeier:

York, but it's got a lot of those tendencies in the tax

Loral Langemeier:

code, so Wyoming is like Texas, Florida, and Nevada, which is

Loral Langemeier:

where we are, Northern Nevada, so that just disrupted it. I

Loral Langemeier:

mean, basically null and voided why Wyoming is even in there, so

Loral Langemeier:

that's just it's it's a, it's a old and I would say more

Loral Langemeier:

immature strategy for someone, anyway. That's a long story. How

Loral Langemeier:

that ended up there, but you are, so we can fix that.

Loral Langemeier:

Everything's fixable, that's a good thing. Yeah, take a minute.

Loral Langemeier:

Kenny, you just received an inheritance from your father.

Loral Langemeier:

When you say sizable, are we six or seven figures?

Unknown:

1.1 okay?

Loral Langemeier:

And how did it come to you?

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: Between mutual funds, we have a single

Loral Langemeier:

family residence, and then there's proceeds from sale of a

Loral Langemeier:

farm that they had,

Loral Langemeier:

and that's all yours. You don't have to share

Loral Langemeier:

with siblings, that's all undecided. We're all done. Okay,

Loral Langemeier:

that

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: was his share. Yeah, and is it

Loral Langemeier:

sitting in a personal bank account, or where

Loral Langemeier:

is it?

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: It's in a personal bank account right now.

Loral Langemeier:

You want to do the right thing, set up for your

Loral Langemeier:

family in the future. What's stopping us is a fear of losing

Loral Langemeier:

what you have or making the wrong moves. What does your

Loral Langemeier:

company do differently to give us peace of mind? Well, you're

Loral Langemeier:

going to give yourself peace of mind, young lady. I would think

Loral Langemeier:

26 years of doing this, really, if I add in all the Kiyosaki

Loral Langemeier:

years, well over 30 years of doing this, and I have a team

Loral Langemeier:

that's integrated, meaning the tax team, the corporate

Loral Langemeier:

structure team, the trust team. We all talk together and about

Loral Langemeier:

you. That doesn't happen, you can't find it. I mean, you can

Loral Langemeier:

give it a go if you have. So we take a very integrated approach.

Loral Langemeier:

So number one and two, just given what you've done, is we

Loral Langemeier:

need to fix the corporate structure. You're not making a

Loral Langemeier:

lot of revenue, and doesn't sound like you have any

Loral Langemeier:

property. Was any property in the inheritance, or was that

Loral Langemeier:

cashed out?

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: There is the house currently, but we're

Loral Langemeier:

planning to sell that.

Loral Langemeier:

Okay, so it's not worth putting, like, sell it

Loral Langemeier:

immediately, or sell it in year,

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: sell it within the next few months.

Loral Langemeier:

Yeah, we're preparing it. Yep,

Loral Langemeier:

so again with you guys as W twos, the W twos

Loral Langemeier:

are causing a big tax problem. The DJ business, great, but I'd

Loral Langemeier:

like to see that just in Wyoming, not where you are in

Loral Langemeier:

Minnesota. And then we need another operating company. What

Loral Langemeier:

are you going to do, which we don't need to decide that, but

Loral Langemeier:

we would be deciding that with what do you want to do, and you

Loral Langemeier:

have great skill sets with retail worship director, believe

Loral Langemeier:

it or not, those are all marketing centric skill sets, so

Loral Langemeier:

you maybe not see yourself that way, but you can make a ton of

Loral Langemeier:

money that way, and then we have to do with that estate, is there

Loral Langemeier:

a 401 k in that estate?

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: No.

Loral Langemeier:

Okay. Good. So then it's a matter of deciding

Loral Langemeier:

how do you want to invest 1.1 million and how do you want it

Loral Langemeier:

to grow. So you can do a compounded calculator and just

Loral Langemeier:

see very quickly, you know, if you put 1.1 to work at say 10%

Loral Langemeier:

12% play with those numbers, and then contributed, say the DJ

Loral Langemeier:

money or extra money to it. How quickly that can become four and

Loral Langemeier:

5 million, right? So you want to compound it, reinvest it, and

Loral Langemeier:

then diversify it. So right now you have a tax problem because

Loral Langemeier:

of the W-2, the corporate structure, and then how you

Loral Langemeier:

spend would fix that, and then how you invest going. Forward,

Loral Langemeier:

so the what's different about us is we are the ones, we're pretty

Loral Langemeier:

much a one one stop shop. From business development, we have

Loral Langemeier:

marketing, we have a lot of marketing folks, we have sales

Loral Langemeier:

folks, cash flow management, finance for non-finance people.

Loral Langemeier:

How do you understand all that? Those are all the courses. So,

Loral Langemeier:

from that you head into corporate structure, tax

Loral Langemeier:

structure, that makes sense, because your, your companies are

Loral Langemeier:

gonna allow you to have all the deductions, right now you don't

Loral Langemeier:

have any deductions, you have very few in the way that you're

Loral Langemeier:

set up, and then how you make your investment decisions,

Loral Langemeier:

depending on what you want to work on. So, for you guys, you'd

Loral Langemeier:

spend a lot of time in the beginning just learning about

Loral Langemeier:

different investing strategies, because it doesn't sound like,

Loral Langemeier:

if right, if I just.. if I had to, just based on your question,

Loral Langemeier:

how to invest is probably your, your biggest weakness. Would

Loral Langemeier:

that be? Yes, you got to learn the most. So, you would be

Loral Langemeier:

learning about assets. Part of the bonus of the big table,

Loral Langemeier:

starting actually this weekend, is we offer a real estate tour

Loral Langemeier:

once a month as part of the bonus. So, 10 months of the 12

Loral Langemeier:

months, actually it's nine months of the 12 months, we have

Loral Langemeier:

real estate tours, and then we have supplemental tours, so it's

Loral Langemeier:

just starting to learn. What do you want? Minnesota real estate

Loral Langemeier:

further out, land out further out is good, but again, you're

Loral Langemeier:

not in the best tax state, you know. Oklahoma is my millionaire

Loral Langemeier:

market, Missouri, Kansas, Ohio is right around the, you know,

Loral Langemeier:

it's down, but over, I mean, so you guys will be learning how

Loral Langemeier:

you want to invest, and you look pretty young, so you also could

Loral Langemeier:

go the franchise route, you have enough money, you could buy a

Loral Langemeier:

couple franchises, so in the beginning for you it would be a

Loral Langemeier:

lot of learning and understanding what do you want

Loral Langemeier:

to do with it, right, so but you're gonna, the difference

Loral Langemeier:

would be, I mean, you could read all over this lovely bathroom

Loral Langemeier:

wall called the Internet, or you can have multi millionaires

Loral Langemeier:

helping educate you along the path. So that's the big, the big

Loral Langemeier:

difference is you got a collective group. There's a lot

Loral Langemeier:

of us on the team side. We got tax, corporate structure,

Loral Langemeier:

corporate compliance, which a lot of people leave that out of

Loral Langemeier:

the documentation. Do you guys have a trust on your own by now?

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: We do have a trust. Yes.

Loral Langemeier:

When's the last time it was reviewed?

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: Probably should be reviewed,

Loral Langemeier:

but that's part of what you are going to do

Loral Langemeier:

the first, you know, few months, when we get it, when you get in,

Loral Langemeier:

is we're going to look at all what that you've done to

Loral Langemeier:

yourself, start making, you know, adjustments to what's a

Loral Langemeier:

better structure, you'll make the decisions. We're going to

Loral Langemeier:

educate you, like if you do, we do a lot of pros and cons. If

Loral Langemeier:

you do it this way, this what you get. If you do it this way,

Loral Langemeier:

this what you get, because you may say after that you want to

Loral Langemeier:

keep this corporate structure. I don't think you will, but when

Loral Langemeier:

you really understand what that's not getting you versus

Loral Langemeier:

what it could get you by just switching it, it would be

Loral Langemeier:

better, that makes sense. Yeah, yes. So it's a complete sweep

Loral Langemeier:

across the board. Once the companies are set properly, then

Loral Langemeier:

we look at all your personal expenses, and as you guys start

Loral Langemeier:

doing, like, you know, Kenny, you start doing the DJ business.

Loral Langemeier:

What personal expenses can move, which is mostly your technology,

Loral Langemeier:

right? Your phone bill, your vehicle, because you have to

Loral Langemeier:

travel to locations. I mean, a lot of that stuff moves from

Loral Langemeier:

personal expenses to business deductions. Does that make

Loral Langemeier:

sense? So, I mean, we're super, super mindful of making sure

Loral Langemeier:

your taxes stay really, really low as you make more and invest

Loral Langemeier:

more. Does that help? And there's a lot of us, there's

Loral Langemeier:

about, there's me and about 28 other, you know, experts around

Loral Langemeier:

the house, including franchise, including licensing, gold,

Loral Langemeier:

silver, crypto. Yeah, and if you, and if at the end of the

Loral Langemeier:

day, you say, you know what, I just want an alternative. Here's

the difference:

an alternative financial planners planner or

the difference:

alternative wealth manager, you can just go a little more hands

the difference:

off, knowing that you are, you know, going to put your, your

the difference:

livelihood in someone's hands, because there are some, you

the difference:

know, folks that just are really, really conservative and

the difference:

scared to death. So then you can start pulling money as you learn

the difference:

more to be at least just start making money in one place, and

the difference:

then you start pulling, say, okay, I want 100 150 to go buy

the difference:

this piece of property. I want that for land. And then it

the difference:

starts getting diverse over the next two to three years. You

the difference:

don't want to go rush too many people. We see people on the

the difference:

other side where you've already put all that to work, and it's

the difference:

like, oh my gosh, because then you can undo those moves. So I

the difference:

would go in with a nice plan, as long as it's done by October,

the difference:

November, you'll be able to really have an extraordinary

the difference:

year from a tax perspective, making more money, and just

the difference:

feeling like you had a solid plan. Okay, and then at some

the difference:

point the kids need to come along. Oh, yes, assuming yes,

the difference:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: they're 14 and almost 12, so

Loral Langemeier:

yeah, because they're going to be the ones

Loral Langemeier:

inheriting all this, so they don't get to be.. I mean, if

Loral Langemeier:

it's under my watch, I don't like to create trust fund

Loral Langemeier:

babies. I like smart kids following the parents,

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: exactly. So, otherwise, what's the point

Loral Langemeier:

to somebody that actually has a clue? Yeah,

Loral Langemeier:

so that's a big answer. Hopefully, that it

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: was a big question. It was

Loral Langemeier:

a big question. So, we got you, is

Loral Langemeier:

what I would say. And look forward to helping, uh. Guide

Loral Langemeier:

you through these decisions, it'll be fun, and I think for

Loral Langemeier:

you guys, just remember you're not in this alone. There, the 26

Loral Langemeier:

years, there's 1000s of people across this nation, in every

Loral Langemeier:

state, that have that are part of the table. So you're going to

Loral Langemeier:

meet folks from your state, you're going to meet people from

Loral Langemeier:

your hometown. It's interesting, in the last few years, a whole

Loral Langemeier:

bunch of, you know, I grew up in Nebraska. I never had a Nebraska

Loral Langemeier:

client for the first 10 years. Now I got Nebraska, Nebraska

Loral Langemeier:

Farmer Energy, all sorts of different flavors of people

Loral Langemeier:

coming, so it works well. You have a lot of advice and a lot

Loral Langemeier:

of help.

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: Great.

Loral Langemeier:

All right. Well, it's good to meet you too.

Loral Langemeier:

ASK LORAL - Lynelle: All right. Thank you.

Loral Langemeier:

Bring what's going next for you? All right,

Loral Langemeier:

thanks.
