Who this is for

Built for Midtown LGBTQ+ households

Midtown Sacramento is walkable and hosts a large share of the city's LGBTQ+ community — younger professionals, state employees, and small-business owners.

  • You have a 401(a), 403(b), or 457(b) and no one has told you the fill order alongside a Roth IRA.
  • Your CalPERS estimate arrives once a year and nobody reads it.
  • You've got a side business or gig income and no plan around it.
  • First-home decisions are 12–24 months out and the down-payment plan is loose.

How we help Midtown households

Pension + 457(b) election

CalPERS / state public-sector benefits often carry a pension election with irreversible survivor-benefit choices. We model them against your household income and outside savings before you sign.

1099 + W-2 hybrid tax planning

S-corp vs. sole prop, quarterly estimates, solo 401(k) + SEP-IRA choice, and PTE elections handled proactively — so April isn't a scramble and next year's plan is already in motion.

First-home cash-flow reality check

Down payment source (RSU sale? gift? savings?), monthly payment stress-tested against a rate rise, and honest closing costs — before an agent talks you into stretching.
