Looking for a tax planner and/or financial advisor in the Bay Area. Please comment or DM me.

Only personally tried and tested recommendations, there is so much nonsense and noise otherwise!

PS- Single, Indian, 39f, recently moved from Chicago and no tax instrument that I use!

I use Tim Silver at Ameriprise, ironically located in their Chicago office. He's been really fantastic with helping me save for a house (which I eventually bought) while paying off student debt and dealing with tax stuff for stock options. He isn't a tax planner, he's a financial advisor, those are two somewhat different things, but he has helped me to figure out a lot of tax stuff. I'm 38/F, married, the breadwinner, if that's helpful context at all.

Thanks D1. Is it as you have an account with Ameriprise or you separately pay for their services?

I also just moved from Chicago to Bay Area, interested in learning more as well :)

$120K in retirement accounts, $70K in cash, $50K in home equity, and $6K in HSA

Beyond mortgage, only debt is a $25K private loan that we can pay back any time in next 5 yrs. and isn’t accruing interest.

Does anybody have a financial advisor they trust and recommend in the city?

Interested in others opinions.

Early 40s. No debt. Currently have ~50yrs worth of [annual expenses+15%] between savings, investments and 401k (not including future social security). Current savings ~1.5yrs [expenses+15%], 401k ~12yrs [expenses+15%], and investments ~37yrs [expenses+15%]

At what point would early retirement be a serious consideration for you, given no interest in increasing expenses (other than inflation) or any other substantial changes, with satisfaction in life outside work?

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days. Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?
