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.
