Divorcing and considering my future

Tina Gilley
  • Vandalia, oh
Posted

I'm new to the idea of real estate investing. I am in the process of getting divorced, have no retirement plan, inherited a 65,000 mobile on .5 acres and have appox. $500 in monthly debt, while making $60k per year. I am 57 and need to build my retirement umbrella rather quickly.

I could really use some advice on how to get in and build my investment future over a short period of time.

Hi Tina,

Is your attorney working with a Certified Divorce Lending Profossional and a Certified Divorce Financial Advisor DURING the divorce process? This will help you set up your funds and property so that you can make a future purchase easier. CDLP's do not cost additional money. Cannot speak for CDFA's. I had a friend that went through a divorce and speaking to the CDFA put her mind at ease. :)

There's websites to locate some in your area or checkout LinkedIn. In Texas, you can usually find them on Collaborative Divorce Texas. Not sure where you're located.
