How to supercharge your Roth IRA or Roth 401k
27 December 2024 | 18 replies
I looked back at my tax returns when I was doing the conversions from my traditional IRA to my Roth IRA and realized I had converted up to the limit of my standard deduction allowing that amount to be tax free, but the excess above that that I converted each year was at the lowest tax bracket, so while I did convert some money tax free each of those years I DID IN FACT pay more than a few cents in taxes on the amount above the deduction.

@Martti Eckert here's the big issue that no one really talks about that you hopefully find helpful (this is copy & pasted):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
