Real estate decisions do not happen in a vacuum. Buying a home, purchasing an investment property, selling appreciated assets, preparing for retirement, and protecting your family can all affect your taxes, cash flow, investments, insurance, and estate plan. In this special crossover episode of One More Round, Josh Norris of Arrive Financial joins Danny Saucedo and Daniel Thompson of The Arizona Buzz on Housing for a practical conversation about how financial planning and real estate should work together. Josh explains why a financial planner can serve as the “quarterback” of your financial team—helping coordinate your CPA, lender, real estate professional, insurance professional, estate-planning attorney, and wealth manager so everyone is working toward the same goals. In this episode, we discuss: • Financial planning for homeowners and real estate investors • Preparing financially before purchasing a home or investment property • Using cash, investment assets, or eligible retirement-plan resources strategically • Capital gains, tax-loss harvesting, and selling investments • Bonus depreciation, cost segregation, and depreciation recapture • How real estate deductions may fit into Roth-conversion planning • Why tax planning should consider today and retirement • Life insurance, estate planning, and emergency preparation • Establishing access to capital before you need it • Why social-media financial advice may not fit your situation • Speaking with licensed professionals before a problem occurs Josh also shares how surviving heart failure and receiving a heart transplant at age 40 changed his perspective on life insurance, estate planning, and protecting the people who depend on you. The biggest takeaway is simple: You do not need to have everything figured out before talking with a professional. The earlier you start the conversation, the more time and options you may have to prepare.
