Who this is for

Built for North Park LGBTQ+ households

North Park is younger, design-and-food-scene driven, and increasingly family-oriented — dual-income queer households in Craftsman single-family and 2-unit rehabs.

  • You're a 1099 designer, engineer, or consultant and the S-corp question keeps getting punted to next year.
  • You bought a 2-unit and now you have a Schedule E, depreciation, and a tenant — with no plan around any of it.
  • You've been running IVF quotes and none of them include the tax impact on the 401(k) contributions you'd have to skip to pay for it.
  • You have two 401(k)s, an old 403(b), a Roth IRA, and no idea what the priority order should be.
  • North Park's LGBTQ+ safety premium runs $900–$1,400/mo above East County or Escondido — on dual freelance-and-W-2 income, that's often the invisible reason the IVF fund and the down payment can't both happen next year.

How we help North Park households

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.

Family-planning cash flow

IVF, surrogacy, adoption, and second-parent adoption modeled into your real cash flow so building a family isn't paused indefinitely or financed on hope.
