Would your current tax structure allow you to give out your portfolio tax efficiently? Whatever investment strategy you decide to use or stage in your investing journey\, the big question one must answer is\, “How should you structure your next investment in the most tax-efficient manner?” In this presentation\, Cherry will cover various tax structures for beginning investors to veteran investors with different objectives and at different stages of investing. \n* Keynote Speaker – Quentin DSouza – Optimal Performance Metrics for Your Real Estate Portfolio \n \n* Wrap-up and Burning Questions \n* Networking and Developing Your Power Team \nSpeaker Showcase: \nCherry Chan is an author\, a blogger\, and a Chartered Professional Accountant to entrepreneurs and real estate investors.
