Talk to a financial planner first.

I am not a financial professional and offer you no professional advice whatsoever.I can say You need to take some action to protect your assets that will be left behind.You need to locate a good CPA and a certified financial planner to help you prepare your wife in the case of untimely death.I personally believe you should be looking into buying sufficient life insurance that will payoff the balances of at least half of your holdings if not all of them,whatever you can afford to pay but,that’s what you need professional advice about.

Similar to that of financial planners or real estate agents who are all paid by a percentage, they maximize their profit by doing as little as possible not the other way around.For instance, say I am your PM and you retain me by 10% of the monthly rent of $1,000.

Brian mention financial planners (again, mostly Ins types) that too is related, but with less exposure to RE.The issue with other related jobs, title clerk, closing agent, survey crew or construction crew is that the pay sucks!

THE RISK IN hml loans for the inexperienced is way too high.I think it would be more prudent to find a finacial planner from some of the national brokerage houses

It is a quarterly fee and it really isn't that much in my eyes compared to what my financial planner charged as well as all of those hidden mutual fund fees. 

On the other hand I think it's worth understanding that city planners have the responsibility of ensuring the integrity of residential communities by not having entire swaths of areas get converted into vacation rentals.

I plan to call a financial planner who does free work for the military but want to do my research first.

Thanks in Advance.Daniel Once upon a time you could be a small independent part time mortgage broker like you suggest, and a lot of financial planners and tax professionals did just that, but CFPB/Dodd-Frank/etc killed that model.

It no different than someone who comes into a lot of money and -- instead of learning about money management -- instead just goes to a financial planner and says, "Take care of this for me."
