  4. #639 Should You Put Your Spouse On Payroll

    Show notes

    Set up a Free 15-Minute Client Advisor Call and get booked at my law firm KKOS Lawyers. With a Comprehensive Tax and Business Consult my attorneys can help you have a tactical plan to put your spouse on payroll when the time is right and get your business, assets and trust in order.

    Mark breaks down when paying your spouse from the business creates real tax savings and when it just adds payroll taxes and paperwork. We walk through the classification rules, the S corporation math, and the two scenarios where spousal pay can unlock powerful benefits for your family.

    • deciding whether a spouse is a co-owner, employee, board member, or subcontractor
    • understanding material participation and when wages are required
    • avoiding payroll done only to “manufacture” a deduction
    • why paying for Social Security credits is usually a bad move
    • using S corp W-2 wages to manage FICA and keep compensation reasonable
    • adding a spouse to payroll to increase 401k and Roth 401k contributions
    • using a spouse support-company setup and an HRA to deduct family medical expenses
    • doing the math before adding complexity, filings, and payroll cost

  7. #636 Building Wealth Through Alternative Assets with Yvette Spillman

    Show notes

    Ready to make sure your tax, business, and wealth-building strategies are actually working together? Schedule a Comprehensive Tax and Business Consult with a KKOS attorney to review your current structure - Book a Call Here..

    On this special episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, host Mat Sorensen sits down with Yvette Spillman, advisor, entrepreneur, and Founder & CEO of National Retirement Institute (NRI), to discuss how business owners and investors can think beyond traditional stock market investing when building and protecting wealth.

    Yvette shares her approach to working with clients who are heavily concentrated in traditional investments and want to explore alternative assets, tax strategies, and self-directed retirement accounts. The conversation covers how to evaluate different assets based on your personal goals, whether you're focused on growth, income, retirement, or a combination of all three.

    They also discuss:

    • Why many investors may be less diversified than they think
    • How self-directed IRAs can provide access to alternative investments
    • Using real estate, oil and gas, and other tangible assets as part of a broader wealth strategy
    • The difference between investing for growth versus creating an income stream
    • How business owners and entrepreneurs can be particularly well suited for self-directed investing
    • Tax planning strategies involving real estate, oil and gas, Solo 401(k)s, and proper entity structuring
    • A real-world case study of a business owner who was paying significant taxes and restructured his investments and retirement strategy
    • The importance of understanding a client's goals before recommending investments

    This episode is a practical conversation about looking beyond the traditional investment playbook and building a wealth strategy around your individual goals, risk, income needs, and tax situation.

    Yvette invites listeners to attend the Sonic Boom Summit in Temecula, California, taking place September 28–30. The three-day event features education for business owners and investors, with Mat Sorensen and Mark J. Koehler among the featured educators, along with other experts in the tax, business, and wealth-building space.

  11. #632 Fear in the Housing Market Almost Always Signals Opportunity

    Show notes

    Before your next real estate investment, start with my law firm, KKOS Lawyers.

    Our Comprehensive Tax & Business Consult helps you make sure the deal fits into the right tax, entity, and asset protection strategy before you buy. - https://hubs.ly/Q04t0Vn00

    In this episode, Mark J. Kohler sits down with Kathy Fettke, co-founder of RealWealth and host of The Real Wealth Show, to talk about what smart investors should actually be watching in today’s market.

    They break down the proposed restrictions on institutional homebuyers, why reacting to headlines can leave investors behind, and the key indicator RealWealth looks for before entering a market: job growth.

    Kathy also shares how her team identified opportunity in Sherman, Texas, why the housing challenge is increasingly about renters, and how investors should think differently about active versus passive real estate.

    Key takeaways from this episode:
    Why fear in the market almost always means better deals are available
    - The truth behind the new bill capping institutional home purchases and why it's more political than practical
    - Why relying on headlines (or AI summaries) means you're investing on old, already-priced-in data
    - RealWealth's #1 rule for picking a market: follow the jobs
    - How Kathy's team spotted the CHIPS Act opportunity in Sherman, TX before anyone else moved
    - Why the real housing shortage today is a renter problem, not a buyer problem
    - The difference between active real estate (flipping) and passive real estate (buy-and-hold) — and why confusing the two costs people money
    - Why managing your property manager beats trying to manage the property yourself

    Kathy also shares how to get started with RealWealth's free resources, including property tours, weekly market webinars, and her book Retire Rich with Rentals. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who's been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the "right time" to invest or who's been burned trying to time the market off the news cycle.
