Currently looking at buying a portion of another advisors book. They are scaling down and looking to sell a portion of it. Offering me at 2.5 times revenue, they are also including all the life, annuities, etc. Since advisor is at my firm I should get any comms on that, as well. Any tricky areas or advice from some of you who have been through this? I don’t want to miss something. Thank you.

Great talk. Appreciate the advice! lol

I’d strongly suggest you hire a valuation company like FP Transitions to do a valuation on the book.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?
