Do we

1. Buy a town home that’s $450k and live there for 4-5 years. Then buy dream home

2. Buy dream home now with a construction loan - live in apartment for a year while it’s built ($1400 on rent/month). Loan amount after down payment would be $650k.

Concepts of “starter homes” is a myth propagated by the real estate industry - you pay too much in commissions and sunk costs. I’d suggest to wait and buy the house you really want. Is the town home for $450k or is that the loan amount on the town home? I would do #2 if the finances work out and you’ll live there for a good decade. Also remember there’s a diff between what u need and what u can afford, lot of people buy property based on the latter.

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, not sure if I have any options but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. I signed a lease in June for $2050 when I was under the impression it wouldn’t get lower than that. The same apartment is now down $1650 and has been dropping. this is super frustrating since it’s such a dramatic drop. It’s almost more cost effective to break the lease for $4k in order to save $4500 over 12 months - $500 in total savings + cheaper if I renew next year. Do I have any negotiation power? Pls help/advise
