*SOLD OUT*

Part I: Asset Protection 101

If you got sued tomorrow, would you be at risk of losing everything? Owners who operate with an LLC, Inc., or
Trust have “disaster containment” so that if one folds, the rest of the business survives. They also have lots of insurance.
Find out whether your setup is adequate.

Another question we’ll address is whether your trust is protecting you the way you think.
Trusts have one key advantage but in many respects they’re now second to the LLC.

This presentation addresses questions for both new and experienced owners looking to select a going-forward structure,
make a change, or gain confidence in their current setup.

This part of the presentation will be given by MassLandlords staff.

Part II: Estate Planning and Inheritance

Once we know how to cover our assets in life, we’ll look further ahead and go in-depth on inheritance and estate planning issues. We’ll cover the topic
from the perspective of owners looking to have a plan for your own affairs as well as children looking to help their parents chart a course. Particular focus
on estate planning for real estate owners.

This part of the presentation will be given by Attorney Deborah Danger, Attorney Annika Bockius-Suwyn and
Attorney Meagan Durigan of DangerLaw LLC.
DangerLaw specializes in estate planning, family law, guardianship/conservatorship, and small and family business protection.
They’re unconventional attorneys committed to making the difficult subject of estate planning fun and enjoyable.

Part I: The Albion Restored

We’re sending a photographer to meet Mike O’Rourke and create a PowerPoint show-and-tell. Mike restored an infamous downtown Worcester rooming house
called “The Albion” from a state of neglect to a well-run, well respected, and greatly admired home for many. He has come up with some surprising and
effective new approaches to management and buildings. From security to electric stoves, we’ll learn how it’s really done. There will be no “before” pictures, we’ll be
focused on what works now.

Mike has been written about at least twice in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, is a MassLandlords State-wide Board Member Emeritus, and has contributed
immeasurably to the cause of creating better rental housing in Massachusetts.

Part II: Are We In a Bubble?

We have finally corralled the speakers we need to have this discussion. With building prices what they are, who can make money on a new acquisition?
No one can predict the future, but we can speculate and we can build defenses, in some ways. And we can prepare to buy, in other ways.
Or we can ignore the naysayers and just keep buying. We’ll have a good discussion.

This part of the presentation will be given by our Bubble Panel:

Yes there is a bubble:

Rich Merlino, MassLandlords emcee

Carmine Zamarro, realtor, lender and builder with 40 years experience

No, there is no bubble:

Doug Quattrochi, MassLandlords Executive Director

Nelson Zide, realtor with 40 years experience

Our panelists will be arguing assigned or voluntary positions. Audience participation encouraged but not required.

Have you seen our Leave Stuff, Take Stuff Table?

Market your business, pick up handouts, give away an old doorknob. Everything goes on our first-come, first-served display table at all our events. Please bring business cards, brochures, coupons. And feel free to pick up your own uncollected marketing materials at the end. Everything not claimed end-of-event may be chucked.

v2

Our season finale will be back at Longmeadow where we’ll discussing our buildings and our portfolios.

Part I: Residential State Sanitary Code

We’ll start the evening by reviewing the residential state sanitary code, which is the defining feature of residential rental real estate.
Unlike your own home, in which you might tolerate deficiencies, or a commercial building, where you can put maintenance
on the renter, residential rental real estate requires owners to maintain their premises inside and out. We’ll
be reviewing the common issues and how to remedy and foolproof them.

This part of the presentation will be given by either David Cotter, Springfield’s Deputy Director of Housing Code Enforcement
or Steve Desilets, Springfield’s City Code Enforcement Commissioner.
David and Steve are kind enough to join us outside their jurisdiction and share their knowledge of the state sanitary code,
which applies to all municipalities equally.

This is the topic that was previously scheduled for May.

Part II: Economic Opportunity Zones

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 granted states the power to define Economic Opportunity Zones, which offer tax-deferred or tax-free investment
opportunities to landlords and businesses alike. We’ll review this process and show areas in your neck of the woods that would qualify.

This part of the presentation is MassLandlords repertoire and will be given by MassLandlords staff or an accountant TBA.
