Listen "Roth Conversions, ACA Subsidy Changes, & Smart Real Estate Decisions (11/15/2025)"
Episode Synopsis
This episode tackles some of the biggest financial decisions listeners are facing right now. Brian starts with a breakdown of upcoming ACA subsidy changes—why many families may see higher health insurance premiums next year and what planning steps to consider before open enrollment closes. We also cover challenges around financing a CBD/hemp-related business, why traditional banks often won't lend, and what alternative paths may still be available. From there, we dive into real listener questions. One caller wants to know whether a Roth conversion makes sense alongside pension income and future retirement withdrawals. Brian walks through how conversions really work, the tax traps people overlook, and how withholding decisions impact your final bill. Plus, a question about pulling equity from a four-plex to refinance or reinvest. Brian explains the pros and cons of HELOCs, traditional refinances, and VA loan options in the current interest-rate environment.
