Tax time, goals and sharing the 'Homes budget'
February 1st, 2017 at 12:17 amHi all
Today is tax day for me. I am figuring out and gathering all my tax documents for me and the rentals
i also need to gather the not for profit tax info
I lost $28k gross income to my bottom line by closing the not for profit
This 5 year journey has been a wild one.my first 2-3 years were very tight. I had a good year last year and now I am Very tight again
I updated my financial goals to the left there for 2017. Those are highlevel goals. I will track monthly and set some mini goals to get to those larger goals
I continue to be off track (per my 5 year goal) towards my personal residence payoff with no clear ideas or plan on the horizon to make that up
I am also short with investments (primarily because I bought more homes) with no clear plan on the horizon to make that up
I want to formulate clear plans to make those gaps up and I really want to put together a plan to make $1000/month more income by March 1
I am putting in 25% my 401k now through the end of June. it makes things pretty tight but my contract only goes through the end of June.
Anyway I am sharing the homes budget for next year. Vacancy, maintenance is estimated based on #s from prior years and then rounded UP. Net assumes homes are paid off. They are not paid off yet. Payoffs start March 2018. . My payments exceed $7500 a month right now. I DO plan to use any extra net from the homes this year to build up the 'rental emergency fund' so not drawing anything from the rentals yet and hoping for no large expenses. I am not planning on any improvements this year
Budget attached. Red means rent is Section 8.
I will be posting more this next few days as I get caught up
