I have a few garage conversions and usually turn them in to flex space - i.e. projector, PS5, Pull out or modular couches etc. 

Make sure you and your brother are on the same page, and it might be helpful to have an open conversation with your wife about the potential risks and benefits.

You could do an in-plan conversion to the Roth side once moved into Solo 401(k). 2) You might want to talk to your CPA/tax professional about converting from the pre-tax to Roth, prior to or after you make your investment.

I’ve been in contact with one of the owners Amy Keith and have had several great conversations about her company.

Just run the numbers, and see what your cash flow will look like after the conversion and other expenses. 

If I were you, I would be firm with needing rent more timely, I would still contact the male because she can't kick him off the lease, and I would have a conversation with her along the lines of "this is clearly not what either of us signed up for, is clearly not working, and what can we do to get you to a lower cost living situation as soon as possible?" 

This is known as a Roth Conversion, which does trigger tax as you are moving from pre-tax, to post tax Roth.  

Looking forward to our conversation. 

They don’t answer my text or phone and requesting a time for a conversation goes unheeding.

The conversion rate on direct mail is slow but when you are in a demanding market it's slower and the cash cycle could take over a year.
