Kenitra and I would work well on a joint 7 minute.  We could work around a topic of how to get remodeling/handyman work done for our clients:

1)  If the client owns their home, I could help them with a Home Equity Line of Credit that they could use for their upcoming remodeling project. It would be a 15 year LOC that can then be used for multiple projects over the years to come.

2)  If the client does not own their home, I could help them apply for one of our Credit Cards, in particular, our Platinum Card that has 0% interest for 18 billing cycles.  It would allow them to charge their remodel/handyman project(s) and then pay it off within 18 months before it starts to accrue any interest.  

3)  I can also help a business customer with a Commercial Loan or Platinum Business Credit Card that also has 0% Interest for 18 billing cycles to fund some of their remodel and/or emergency needs.

Mark Britt is the contractor on our team, and I am the family law attorney.

We could do a 7 minute on the following:

1. What repairs/removations to make on the marital home to sell it (work needed versus cost benefit analysis).

2. How to pay for the work (use the party's joint assets before division of the assets, so the burden is shared equally or proportionally to the division of assets).

3. If the marital home is not to be sold, who will be awarded the home, and how to account for the repairs in value of the home.

Richard Arno and I are in very different fields, but there are situations in which a competent financial advisor can be invaluable to a commercial real estate transaction. In many circumstances, a new business owner will have to come out of pocket to build out a new office space, or will have to securitize a lease with their personal financials. By working with Richard, we can determine which assets are most appropriate to allocate towards the new venture.

Ben Levy is the personal injury attorney on my team and as a mortgage broker we seemingly have very few synergies. 

However: 

1. Calculating settlement needs: Understanding the impact of long-term disability on earning ability and the implications for mortgage payments is crucial. Working closely with Ben, I could develop a comprehensive approach to assessing settlement needs that considers mortgage obligations and potential changes in earning capacity due to injury. This collaboration could result in more accurate and tailored settlement recommendations for clients.

2. Post-settlement assistance: After a client receives a settlement, they may have various financial goals, such as purchasing a home or paying off existing debt. As a mortgage broker, I can provide valuable guidance on navigating the mortgage process post-settlement. This can ensure that clients receive holistic support in achieving their financial objectives while considering any unique qualifying needs or financial constraints resulting from the injury.

3. Navigating credit issues: Significant medical bills and other expenses associated with injury can impact a client's credit profile. By proactively addressing these issues and developing strategies to protect or improve their credit, I can help Ben's clients mitigate potential challenges going forward.

Ben Ragin is in insurance. I am in real estate. 

1. Should I transfer my real estate to my trust?

a. is it a primary residence or a family lake house, beach house w/o cash compensation

Jakes purposes-yes

Bens purposes- yes                    ; or 

b. is it for a rental investment 

Jakes purposes- no

Bens purposes- no

**people sue people with money and in their mind, and Morgan & Morgans mind, trusts, however erraneous the logic=$**

2. Should I transfer my vehicle to my trust 

 Jakes purposes- w/o trust ownership I can still keep you out of probate court using a GA form T-20

Ben's purposes- no, for reasons above. 

3. What if I propose LLC ownership instead: 

Primary residence 

Jake- sure, but you will lose homestead exemption

Ben- I do not really care

Investment Property (w/ cash compensation i.e. rental) 

Yes, yes

Cars 

Only if legitimately used for business purpose

Ron Goodnow is a paint company owner and I am a Chiropractor.

Painters have their arms and their bodies in a lot of weird and demanding positions.  I would assume that they could get sore and develop some injuries in their field of work.

1.)  How often do you hear that your workers are injured or are dealing with pain?

2.)  Do you ever notice job times increasing all-of-sudden?

3.)  How much do you take pride in the speed and efficiency of your crews?

I would indroduce my functional movement and injury risk assessment for Ron and his crew memebers.  If injury risk is shown then an entervention treatment plan could be utililized to help prevent injuries, improve speed, efficiency, and overall quality of crew's paint jobs for customers.

DR. James is Our team Chropractor who treats based on Movement evaluation to find the root cause of the pain. 

I am the painter 

--- My teams are in very demanding positions and spend a lot of time climbing up and own ladders. Moving heavy ladders and then balencing in areas such as on a ladder while holding equipment in both hands.

can you restore quickly the speed that is required for these crews to meet customer needs?

are my crews able to do a treat and go or is it always an ongoing treatment?

some teams will engage in "preventative" type maint on their off time which I see preventing serious injuries and maintaining speed through the work. 

What preventative treatments do you have to help them maintain high levels of performance with little to no injuries that will be afordable on a long term basis.

Patty Voltz and I would discuss the various ways a banker could provide assistance to the remodeling process.

For commercial construction jobs, the bank offers a commercial building loan program

For residential remodeling jobs, the bank offers the homeowner a home equity line of credit (HELOC).

For remodelers without a home, the bank offers credite card rates of 0% for 18 months.

Tre Jackson

Response from Tre Jackson

from the Brookhaven Team

Max Middleton is a Roofer, and I, Tre Jackson am a Videographer. Although our industries are very different, they are both visual dominant. At the end of a job, the buyer observes what we have created or altered with our labor and decides whether or not it is satisfactory.

1. I fly drones as a part of the services I offer. This allows me to observe things from a perspective that eyes typically don't see. Drone shots can be so beautiful and entralling for that reason. Max is often showing the difference between one roof or another but, what he could do is showcase different types of roof. Signature shapes, names, especially from above and even why a particular roof is shaped that way.

2. People love a story of transformation, just like at the latest coming age marvel hero. I am often showing and sharing peoples stories of transformation. There is something very human about seeing something go from one thing and how it progresses to the next. One way Max could showcase the effectiveness as a roofer is through before and after a roof has been replaced. And go deeper into the education, we can all see that it looks better, but just like any story, dig into why else is it important to have a roof that fits.

3. There is something in the video field called BTS, which stands for Behind the Scenes. It is where you capture what it looks like while the project is being completed. People enjoying watching these to see what it took. It's sort of life a day in the life, or a processing video where you're showing the process. Max could do the same in roofing. Most people know that roofers climb on the roof and hit nails to some effect, but don't fully understand the process. There are unique materials, and are is a best way to put them on a roof I'm sure. There is a reason the average man doesn't do his own roof, because there is a precise sequence of steps. Max could cover those steps so someone could see the value of getting a roofer even more.
