Anthony Chara

Step Up To Multi-Units!

Anthony Chara is a seasoned real estate investor that has successful investing and property management experience dating back to 1993.  After 16 years working for a fortune 500 company and traveling extensively it was time for a change. Mr. Chara gave up his lucrative Area Manager position in which he managed 35 electronic technicians in 7 states and had a $3M budget so he could spend less time traveling and more time creating wealth for his family.  He started and sold several service-oriented companies until turning to Real Estate investing full time in 2001.

Mr. Chara turned to Apartments full time in 2004. He owns and/or has syndicated approximately 1300 apartment units around the country. These units range from 14 rentals in 1 complex in Oklahoma to 179 rentals in Indianapolis.  His most recent acquisitions include a 140 unit complex in Jackson, MS (July, 2010), a 120 unit complex in Nacogdoches, TX (November, 2011) and a 4-complex package totaling 410 units in Indianapolis, IN (December, 2012).

Al Aiello

Step Up Your Asset Protection!

For over 26 years, Albert Aiello, CPA, has conducted seminars and written publications targeted to rental owners and real estate professionals.  He has developed hundreds of tax reduction and asset protection strategies targeted to save rental owners and real estate professionals in protecting literally millions of dollars in assets.  Moreover, he is able to communicate asset protection ideas in your language.

Over the last several years, Al has put more and more emphasis on asset protection from BOTH the tax and legal aspects.  Numerous other instructors talk about utilizing entities with your rental property (usually attorneys).  But as Al started to listen very carefully, he started to find HOLES in some of the teaching. The main gap is that when they taught an asset protection technique they would not give the related tax consequences (good or often bad) along with the related IRS audit risk (low or often high). So it was time to close the gaps and with my legal team we went on the road of extensive R&D – research & development.  Knowing that LLC’s are the center-pin of real estate asset protection, he delved into every state LLC statute of all 50 states, the applicable IRS regulations, cumbersome text books and other applicable resources – all complex and difficult to understand.  So after long tedious hours of “de-coding”, he has simplified them, which Al will share at the Convention.  Many, if not most rental owners are not protected in the way they think they are because they are not operating their LLCs and their rental business in a way that would hold up if challenged.  Al will show you what you need to do to properly protect your assets and stay protected.
