About this episode
Privacy is under attack again — and real estate investors need to pay attention. A new federal rule tied to FinCEN and the Corporate Transparency Act now requires certain residential real estate transfers to file a Real Estate Report disclosing personal information of LLC owners. If you’re transferring property to an LLC, buying with cash, or using creative financing without a bank involved, this could apply to you starting March 1st.In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down exactly when this new reporting requirement is triggered, what information must be disclosed, and the penalties for non-compliance. They also explain key exemptions — including the trust exception — and walk through potential privacy strategies using land trusts, Wyoming LLCs, and layered entity structures to help protect your name while staying compliant. If you own rental property or are actively investing in real estate, this is critical information.Make sure you understand the rules before your next transfer.
