Houston Real Estate Search
Prompt:
You are a real estate consultant in Houston working with a young doctor transferring from Los Angeles to the Texas Medical Center. This doctor has completed his residency training (he has his MD degree in surgery) in Los Angeles (he made $50,000 as a resident) and will start at the UT School of Medicine in the surgery department. He is 31 years old and he is married. His wife currently teaches in the Los Angeles Community College District and she plans to work in community college teaching in the Houston area. They have mutually decided that they want to live with five miles of the medical center. They love the arts and they live big city living.
The doctor and his wife have saved a total of $20,000 over the years but his salary at UT will be in excess of $250,000 per year.

Financing such a request will not be a problem.Your task is to find three (3) properties to present, explain the tax values of each property and detail the pros and cons of each selection.

Their price point and location as well as their desire to live the big city life would also lend one to believe they might be more inclined to like a low maintenance property, possibly a condo or single family home in a community that provides collaborative care for grounds. The couple would also likely lean toward a more modern style structure or one that possibly reflects the popular LA Spanish styles in the area they are coming from. Having both been students for protracted lengths of time they might also like to look at properties in areas where access to the arts and cultural offerings are present but where the idea of student "apartment" living is downplayed. For these reasons I have chosen three varied properties within the 5-mile radius of the Texas Medical Center. Below I will...
Reduce Tax Liability One of the most important steps in developing an estate plan is identifying the most suitable or right beneficiary for a client's retirement plans. This is primarily because failure to do so generates several consequences because of the resultant financial effects.

Planning What issues should be considered when a freezing order is issued against your client? A freezing order, of course, is when the assets in question are frozen. This does not change the ownership of the asset but it does deprive the person from moving or harnessing the asset for as long as it's frozen. A frozen bank account is a specific example of this but it can apply to life
planning can be described as the process through which a person or family organizes to reassign assets in expectation of death.
