Todd Williamson has over fifteen years in the financial services industry, currently Vice President of Investments with Wells Fargo Advisors. As a former practicing CPA Todd has a keen understanding of the math behind investments, particularly tax implications. Todd will be sharing a few specific strategies that might be beneficial for you.
For those of you actively hustling to build a portfolio, Todd's first strategy may not be beneficial for you, yet.... But it may be very useful when you want to diversify across more properties and markets, and become totally passive. This strategy is similar to a 1031 exchange, but allows you to trade one or more real estate assets that you are actively managing and move the money into a private real estate partnership that has numerous large real estate assets across the US.
Another strategy, for those of you self employed, can roll money from an IRA into an employer 401k, and get access to up to $50,000 cash for use in your investing through a policy loan.
Join us to hear more about different tools you can use on your way to building wealth.

Would you like to diversify your portfolio with Hip Hop, Rock and Country: Investing in Music Royalties. PJ Miklus with Royalty Exchange will educate us on how to invest in music and other royalties.
PJ Miklus is currently head of investor relations at Royalty Exchange, the oldest and largest platform for buying and selling media-based IP royalty assets, raising more than $65 million for rights holders in 650 + transactions in just over three years. PJ previously pioneered new client segments while fund raising for multiple alternative investments across hedge funds, private equity and venture capital on Wall Street for 10+ years. PJ earned an M.B.A. from NYU Stern School of Business in 2013 and a B.A. from University of Maryland in 2004.
We all know that investors today are looking for consistency, stability, yield and new ways to insulate their money from market volatility. Many of them are now turning to music royalties and finding one of the purest forms of uncorrelated income available.
What’s more, recent music industry trends are significantly improving the cash flow earned by many royalty rights holders. Experts agree that we’re in the early innings of a music industry bull market that could dwarf that of the introduction of compact discs (CDs) in the early 1990s.
With premium music royalty assets, investors find:
Steady income
Relative stability
Upside Potential (Especially now)
Longevity(royalties are paid for the life of the artist + 70 years)
Tax advantages
PJ will be discussing music royalties as an asset class on at our October meeting. Don't miss it!
**Todd, our speaker, had a last minute conflict. We will still have meeting, but it will be open discussion. Bring questions or ready to talk about any latest investing projects you have going. We will get Todd at a later meeting**

This will be a working meeting. Pat will give an overview of tax liens in Gallatin County. Then we break up into small groups and look at current tax lien opportunities. You will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement with Gallatin County to be able to see the information provided at this meeting, Pat will have these available. This may result in individuals pursuing these opportunities at the end of the night. This should be fun.
The FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is... well on fire. Mr. Money Mustache, the Mad Fientist and others have pushed the idea that you do not have to follow the cultural norm of working full time for 40-50 years before retirement. Just out in theaters only is the documentary Playing with FIRE.
Playing with Fire showcases a radical subculture known as FIRE, that embraces frugality and financial optimization to achieve financial independence. Follow one family’s journey to acquire the one thing that money can’t buy: a simpler — and happier — life.
Please send Pat information on any deals you have done, or seen that you would like to group to analyze. We will talk about deal analysis in general, then break into small groups and look at a handful of deals. Then we will re-group and compare notes.
Not one, but two investment properties to look at. Would you like to invest in real estate locally, but can't find cashflowing properties because everything is overpriced? Find out how Tim created a deal by building his own four-plex and how Troy created a deal by moving a house. Depending on if Troy's house is moved or not, we will start in either Bozeman or Manhattan at 6pm, then to Belgrade. We will spend about 45 minutes at each property, then if you want to continue conversation join us at the Local in Belgrade at about 8pm. I will put addresses in the newsletter. If you are a couch surfer, call or text Pat for the address.
