Lived in Charlotte from 2009-2017, then moved to the Midwest. Now, looking at relocating back with my husband to be near family. Any realtor recommendations?
$750k-$1.1M budget, not tied to a particular neighborhood but would prefer somewhere with easy access to the light rail / 77 or 85; schools are important.

The better schools are going to be towards the south (ie Ballantyne area). Check out greatschools.org for rankings. Steele Creek may be another option, although limited middle and high school options. SC (fort mill area) has excellent school options if you’re okay that far South, but your budget would allow you to easily be in the Ballantyne/Matthews area depending on the size/condition. I’m a realtor that has worked with numerous out-of-state buyers and would be happy to help you and your husband!

Providing an alternate opinion for the two cents it’s worth: we just left Charlotte after ~15 years to be near family, so I completely understand the prioritization of proximity. However, Charlotte has changed a LOT since 2017, and not necessarily for the better. It was hard for us to come to terms with that, but it just doesn’t hold the same charm it did pre-pandemic. That said, best of luck in your relocation and hopefully you find the Queen City as wonderful as when you left!

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!
