Rising home prices and negotiable rents

On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat discuss real estate market trends and some concerning long-term economic risks. Scott and Pat advise a man in Northern California, making $70,000 a year, about a potential Roth conversion. A caller who owes $150,000 on his mortgage asks if he should pay off the balance with money from his 401(k). A California woman asks if she should buy additional rental properties. Scott and Pat speak with a caller in Loveland, Colorado, earning $200,000 a year, and seeking to lower her taxable income.
