Robert Forward mentioned in a recent post different structures we can use when buying IP's. Anyone care to enlighten us as to types & advantages of each?
Any good (not too technical) books/web sites?

I assume the question relates to ownership of properties.
I have a structure of a base company that holds IP's/assets which is the trustee for the unit trust. The unit trust has allocated units in the form of another company for which i trade and purchase through... just in case something goes wrong... assets are not exposed. I do not trade out of my asset holding company.I can also profit share with my other companies that hang off my principle tax structure the unit trust.
This gives me good asset protection and good taxation efficiency.
I note that this is probably a bit too involved for the average investor
