What is an Estoppel Agreement and When Should You Use It?
Have you ever tried to purchase a multifamily property and found that the owner ran the business on the back of a cocktail napkin? How can you make heads or tails out of the financials well enough to take it to a lender, let alone your rich Aunt Mabel?
We all know (at least my clients do) that when you start the financial due diligence process you put on the hat of a forensic accountant and start to rebuild the financials using third party documents that verify the information (i.e., bank statements). But what do you do when that owner gives you the same excuse you hear so many times “I have several properties and I commingle the funds from all my properties”. I call BS on that one.
But here’s what you do. Pull out your handy-dandy estoppel agreement. Fancy term, I know, but very effective nonetheless. An estoppel agreement is a legally binding document that serves to confirm the terms of a contract or other agreement between two parties. It can also be used to...

Equity Stripping and the Asset Protection Method
Equity stripping is an asset protection method that involves transferring assets from one entity to another. This method can be used to shield certain assets from creditors and tax authorities, thereby protecting them from seizure or liquidation. In this blog, we'll explore both the pros and cons of equity stripping as well as how to effectively protect your assets with the asset protection method.
What is Equity Stripping?
Equity stripping is a strategy for transferring ownership of assets in order to protect them from creditors and tax authorities. Assets are transferred from a company or individual's name into another entity, such as a trust or limited liability company (LLC). This transfer creates a legal barrier between the owner and the asset, making it much more difficult for creditors or tax authorities to gain access to those assets.
The Pros of Equity Stripping
One of the biggest advantages of equity stripping is that it can provide significant asset...

Why You Should Use a Public Insurance Adjuster as a Multifamily Owner
I recently conducted a podcast with Public insurance adjuster Andy Gurczak. You can check it out here!
For those of you that don’t know, a public insurance adjuster can provide several benefits to a multifamily property owner when filing insurance claims, including:
- Expertise: Public insurance adjusters are trained to understand the complexities of insurance policies and claims. They can help ensure that the claim is filed correctly and that the owner receives the full amount they are entitled to.
- Time Savings: Filing an insurance claim can be time-consuming and complicated. A public insurance adjuster can handle the entire process on the owner's behalf, freeing up their time to focus on other important tasks.
- Negotiating Skills: Public insurance adjusters have experience negotiating with insurance companies. They can work to ensure that the owner receives a fair settlement for their claim.
- Independent Representation: Public insurance adjusters represent the interests...
