  $19k each ($38k in 2019) not including any match your employer may provide. 

We make in the mid 6 figures (W2 income).Advice we are looking for:- 401k, avoid 401k, or contribute what my employer matches- Ira’s- very knowledgeable in Real Estate strategies- minimize our taxes in Retirement- minimize our taxes now.- I’m not interested in anyone selling insurance - I know everyone says not to count on my pension, there is no guarantee, but if there was a measure of likelihood that a company would be able to honor their pension commitments then the conservative private company I work for would be rated the highest.- not really interested in savings advice on our 529 plan.- Nothing against Dave Ramsey, I really like most of his advice, but I think some of it is very basic and geared towards low income earners and people who have been very irresponsible with their money and are trying to dig out.- we have a about $70k to invest from our SDIRA, less if we convert a portion of that to a Roth.- we also will have about $250k to invest from the sale of our home.

Feel free to reach out with whatever questions you have and to see if we're a good match.

This can ruin floors and sometimes the walls.The can 'miss' the toilet and ruin the floor and wall around the toilet.They can splash water and ruin the walls and counters.They can sit or hang on cupboard and vanity doors, snapping them off or breaking the hinges or breaking the actual door.They can pull bedroom door off their hinges slamming them.They can break shower/tug doors.The can throw things and break the windows.And my dad's least favorite:  They can break the toilet lid....because sometimes you can not match the lid and get to put in a whole new toilet.

Look into the market fundamentals and see if they match your goals.

Comps can be tough, especially if you can't get an exact match.

My question today is should I consider the amount of money I make on my current job to match or be more than the mortgage payment?

My partner in the building and I were a very good match on paper. 

Also, if you have not gotten a pre-approval yet, definitely try to get 2-3 to ensure they all match.
