How Do You Protect Your Real Estate? Look Like You Own Nothing

Noted author Clint Coons, Esq. releases his most recent book titled "Asset Protection for Real Estate Investors" to help cut through the confusion that pervades today’s real estate investor’s understanding of asset protection.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) December 11, 2009 -- Clint Coons has announced the publication of his new book "Asset Protection for Real Estate Investors" - a practical guide to one of the most misunderstood area of investing: Asset Protection.

According to Coons, "Failing to engage in asset protection planning leads to overpayment of taxes, needless exposure to liability risks and losing or tying up real estate for year in probate." "A plan does not have to be complex to be effective - in fact, some of the most effective strategies for asset protection are the simplest and cheapest." He added with a jest "in asset protection, the most effective strategy is often to look like you own nothing."
