Hi Matt, I have a few contacts for you. DM if you still need someone. Have a great weekend

Quote from @Marija Petrovic:

Hi, I’m looking for a personal finance advisor, someone who can help me manage and streamline my investment accounts and also someone who is familiar with real investing. 


 I take it you'd prefer someone you could meet face to face with? I have a number on contacts in North County, coastal and inland. 

let me know what you're looking for and I can make an introduction. I can also assist hand in hand with the Real Estate Needs. Main reason for having the connections.

Quote from @Omar Beltran:

Hello everyone,

My name is Omar, and I'm the owner of an ADU design company in sunny San Diego, California. Many of my clients are facing challenges when it comes to financing their ADUs, especially since they don't have much equity, making a cash-out refi or HELOC unsuitable. That's why we're on the hunt for a local Construction Loan lender to team up with. We want to be able to recommend them as an option to our clients, and in return, we'd receive a referral fee.

So, if anyone knows of a Construction Loan lender in the San Diego area that they recommend, please let me know! Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Omar

Sprawl Design


 Hello Omar, please reach out and we can discuss what you would need. I do this for local design and build companies in North County also. I can help with the purchase with renovation or existing home owned looking to renovate.

Quote from @Paul Thompson:

Hey all, 

New to the forums (first post!) but my fiancé and I are in the process of closing on our first home in San Diego. Home needs a light facelift - scraping some popcorn, kitchen and bathroom updates and we’re going to try to redo the deck. Anybody local have good contractor recommendations? 

Thanks in advance!


 Where is the property at? 

Quote from @Christopher Duron:

Thank you all very much.  

The property referenced is an investment property with 4 units that my business partner and I have a schedule E for.  

One more question on this, will me living in one unit  and getting a “primary residence” rate affect the interest write off?


thanks again. 


 Would have to be Home improvement then. Have you explored financing costs?

If you are in one of the units then it is owner-occupied and helps you out. 

Please PM if you wanted to discuss costings etc or have further questions - I'm in Escondido/Vista so local to you. (being able to claim the mortgage interest on your return will be dependant upon how well you can document the cost of the expenses also - have to do a good job of that. Happy to chat further

Quote from @Samuel Mutschler:

Long time listener, first time caller. My wife and I own a two properties and just completed our first Live-in-flip. I'm in the military and put 6% into the Roth TSP (similar to IRA but deposit limits are higher). My TSP will continue to mature until 2050 but I don't plan to make any more contributions starting soon and use that money towards purchasing the next property. We also have a solid chunk in the stock market we are strategically liquidating to use towards hard, cash-producing assets.

My question is: How are people saving for retirement without making contributions to IRA/401(k)s? Our plan is to continue growing our real estate portfolio to have a majority of our cash flow from passive income. I don't have much faith in IRA and 401(k)s especially watching our parents stress about the value of their retirement funds right now because they are retired now or in the next few years.


Keeping it Real...Estate. Rentals to supplement your retirement income are an obvious option. But if you haven't done enough to afford a comfortable retirement because have worked so hard to have multiple homes; then a reverse mortgage on a primary residence is the other way to use real estate to support you in the retirement years. 

Reverse mortgages are not a dirty word anymore with the options available now. Income and Credit aren't the focus either - they help and give you access to more of your equity but not essential - essentials are age at entry - Min 55, (62 for all options) and a ton of equity in your primary residence.


All the best
