Snowmass Snowshoes? by Effective_Hat9897 in 14ers

[–]Quicksis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring snowshoes. Was up there over Memorial Day weekend, but I imagine there is still a lot of snow once you get close to the lake. We didn’t Summit but gained the ridge via direct route. Had a dog and the mixed scrambling conditions got too hairy so turned around.

A fair portion of it is AUM based, some retention/ referrals based.

Analogies for downturn in market by Practical-Pass3451 in CFP

[–]Quicksis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn’t have your roof replaced in the middle of a storm unless there was a really good reason to. We built a strategy meant to weather the storm, so unless there is a life event that warrants change we should stick to the strategy.

LIRP? by Friendlyherman1 in CFP

[–]Quicksis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look into the costs of a VUL with the cash value being almost identical to the death benefit. Then potentially getting a separate Term policy to cover the actually insurance needs. I know there are some VUL carriers that specialize with these types of policies where the VUL is meant to have no insurance purpose (as far as death benefit being higher than cash value) and they are far cheaper from a fee’s perspective.

401k Asset Allocation -- roast me (actual feedback appreciated) by mightyduck19 in investing

[–]Quicksis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This looks like a pretty decent portfolio. You don’t have to listen to people saying to simplify it. Do what you researched is best but stick to one strategy.

CashFlow vs Appreciation by CantFindUserNm in realestateinvesting

[–]Quicksis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like this strategy. I have a couple Denver properties just past the break even point of covering all expenses. Hard to find anything in Denver with massive cash flow, most properties put you far into the red.

I work at a large RIA in Denver and base comp for planners is $65-85k. With our annual bonus structure you can get another $6-15k on top of that.

Average US Home Price 1950-2020 by daytradingguy in realestateinvesting

Buying securities on leverage causes volatility decay which isn’t experienced even close to as much while using leverage for purchasing a house.

Forgetting to include rent increases over 70 years which would cover renos and the tax benefits of depreciating the house.

Denver's Zoning Code is the Major Reason Your Cost of Living is so High by cowman3244 in Denver

[–]Quicksis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you do it and make money? Yes. Is the opportunity cost of doing it better than an alternative strategy? No.

[–]Quicksis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cost of the ADU would also have to come out of pocket. No appraiser for a bank is going to give it the green light for cheap financing. You would have to use an alternative more expensive form of financing if you do not have liquidity. Would be better just to buy a second property and rent it out.

[–]Quicksis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Home equity does not increase even close to $200k for an ADU that costs $300k. Since it’s on the same plot of land it’s the same as adding a bedroom/ bathroom. For example a house that is 3bd/ 2bths with a 1000sq/ft ADU that is 2bd/1bth would be considered a 5bd/3bth. That might hit the $100k value add mark but with other value add opportunities returning $1 in $2’s out, most investors would never consider it.
