New Beyond the Bottom Line just dropped with Alex Fyon, co-founder of Dreams Financial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmSlDzwesHw What makes Alex different from most of the advisors we've had on the show is the two-lens approach. He's been a financial advisor for 13 years with MDRT Top of Table status (top fraction of advisors in the entire country), and he's also an active business owner and real estate investor himself. So when he talks about retained earnings, holdco structure, and tax exposure, he's living it on both sides of the desk. The core concept of this episode is what he calls "Real Estate on Paper." Most Canadian incorporated business owners think their holdco can hold 3 asset classes (stocks, bonds, real estate). Alex breaks down the 4th, why your accountant likely hasn't mentioned it, and how to use it the same way you'd use a building: collateralize at the bank for liquidity, compound tax-free, and exit clean. A few specifics we get into: - A cardiologist making $700K personally vs properly incorporated, and the $210K/year delta - A $50K/year critical illness strategy that returns $750K tax-free into the doctor's personal pocket at year 15 (works out to a 14.1% compounded after-tax return) - Why deemed disposition on death forces inheritances into fire-sale real estate liquidations, and how to prevent it - The Triangle Effect: advisor, accountant, and tax lawyer working together with you in the middle If you're a Canadian HTAB member working with incorporated business owners or medical specialists, this episode is going to be especially useful, both for your own structure and as a resource you can send prospects before discovery calls. Alex, thanks for coming on and going this tactical. One of the more concrete episodes we've recorded. WATCH NOW
