Where Should You Save for Retirement? Where Does Real Estate Fit?

If you own houses in your self-employed, self-directed solo 401(k), is converting a house a year to Roth to avoid required minimum distributions (RMDs) a good strategy? What’s an individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement (ICHRA) and is it a good healthcare option for those with C-corporations? When putting away retirement savings, should you contribute to a Roth IRA, a brokerage account, a 401(k), or your employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)? When it comes to step-up in basis, how do you determine the past fair market value of a home? And finally, what happens if you retire before your construction loan becomes a permanent mortgage?

How to Ditch a Bad SIMPLE IRA? What’s a Prohibited Transaction?

Is there a way to get out of a bad SIMPLE IRA and stash cash in a tax-free Roth account?
