First time Home Buyer Need Tax advisor in Sacramento area.
I have been a Moderator on a World Wide Motorcycle Forum before and I always encouraged new Members to Please Introduce yourself and so far from reading on this site it is no different here, so this is my first Post!!!
I am a 52yr old male work in the Electronics Communications field currently a Staff Engineer. I never looked to the Future for Retirement I was mostly concerned with just riding my motorcycles going to work to pay some bills and just ride like I have been doing for over 35yrs.
Well that almost came to an end last year when someone decided to run a Red Light Late I T-Boned a Truck on my motorcycle on my way to work and am lucky to be alive to type today.
To make a long story short I am getting a Settlement enough to buy a home cash if I want but looking to invest in Rental property to help supplement Retirement. I start Air Force National Guard Retirement Pay in 8yrs and hopefully if still available Social Security a few years later that's where Real Estate comes in I don't own a home 1 child 17yrs old, not married I need a Long Term Residence at least a 1/2 acre 3 car garage for tools I like to tinker with everything but I also would like space.
So after I get the first part of the plan done looking at Rental Investing I bought the book from Brandon Turner ( Rental Property Investing ) reading that now so combined with signing up to this forum I believe it will be a good start to my goals. Thanks for Reading.
