LGBTQ+ financial planning for Mission Hills
You own the house, both careers are going well, and the plan behind it all is still a folder of statements. Let's make it one coherent picture.
Built for Mission Hills LGBTQ+ households
Mission Hills is the established single-family pocket above Hillcrest — two-income queer households in Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes, often with kids, a long Prop 13 base, and a decade or two of career runway left.
- Two strong W-2s stacked together push you into brackets where filing jointly quietly costs you, and nobody has priced the alternative.
- Your Prop 13 base is one of the most valuable things you own, and no one has walked you through what Prop 19 does to it when it passes to a spouse or a child.
- You're maxing both 401(k)s and still accumulating cash that isn't doing anything — backdoor Roth and mega-backdoor Roth have never come up.
- The trust was drafted when you bought the house and hasn't been touched through a marriage, a kid, or a job change since.
How we help Mission Hills households
Marriage-penalty and filing-status modeling
Two high W-2s stacked can cost you real money at federal and state brackets. We run the numbers before you decide when — or whether — to formalize.
The Prop 13 reset math
Your property-tax base locks the day you buy. We model the full monthly nut of a Mission Hills purchase against your rent — including the reset — before you fall for a place at an open house.
Mega-backdoor Roth mechanics
Whether your plan actually allows it, how to sequence after-tax contributions and in-plan conversions, and how it stacks with backdoor Roth — done right, tens of thousands of extra Roth space each year.
