What now? Please solicit advice from multiple sources based on various areas of specialization….e.g.: professional insurance/ legal/ tax/ financial planner/ lender/ realty broker/ and even a spiritual advisor. Yes, even your pastor will have great insights to share re: what the rest of us professional see ‘after the fact’. Scripture speaks more to finances than other topics & its the #1 issue in relationship conflicts.

I can’t stress this enough, virtually every family has ‘issues’ when $’s and control come to play.  Many client families I’d never dreamed would have had disagreements have family splits, even when little to nothing was left to disagree over.

Well the key word is ‘now’. Advice & planning is worthless after someone becomes feedback_todo_checklistincapable of handling their affairs, or passes. Review your strategies and go forward. Later, the complexity and expense – financial and emotional – will grow exponentially!

Don’t know where to start? Do the clerical work. Don’t know where that starts? Contact me for assistance.

Our approach will be looking at the bigger picture. You can also begin by sharing you’re thoughts, dreams, needs, goals, and comfort parameters.

3 Reasons People Retire Broke

Anibal Group LLC RealtyNetWorth.com Retirement, Uncategorized

An easy read Dave Ramsey article points out a couple key pointers.woman_piggy_bank_000009343524

  1. Zero % ROI brings in nothing, in fact, inflation will eat it alive. You must invest.
  2. Jumping in or letting panic make you jump out…well, we just hear a sermon on this today. Read all of Mark chapter 13, then realize that there will be ups and downs but don’t run about in sky is falling mode. I know, easier to understand and you get older (ps, I’m older).   http://biblehub.com/mark/13-7.htm
  3. Stupid Decisions. A good read is The Millionare Next Door. Those that stay the course don’t tend to make impulse buys. But on the flip side, if your investment has seen good appreciation, evaluate it for some profit taking. What does that mean ?

When clients accumulate more than one investment property, I show them how they compare against others they own. If they own only one, I’ll give regular feedback on others that are available and how they might compare (ROI). When I was in my 20’s, I was about to make about $10k on a flip that I had $3k into. Dad said, “so you’ll get this much out of it, then rent will stop, and what will you do with the $x’s ?” He’d been trained as a teacher

On-duty

with an Economics masters degree so it was a straight forward question. I’ve used this approach each time I or a client has cleaned up a house. There are +’s and -‘s to a. selling, b. renting it out, c. ?….you get the idea. I prefer to get investors – and home owners as well – thinking more, jumping off cliffs of optimism less. At the same time, if your $50k house bought as a rental has now shot up to $120k in value and we can get that same rent from a another $75k house, well, I can lead you to water but I can’t make you drink.
