into Park City, Utah

 

BOULDER, Colo. – Feb. 23, 2018InvitedHome, the Boulder-based vacation home rental company with more than 250 properties across the country’s top resort destinations, today announced its expansion into the Park City, Utah market. Home of the Sundance Film Festival and the United States Ski Team, Park City is a preserved mining town with internationally recognized mountain-biking trails and other activities, a historic downtown, 150 bars and restaurants, and free in-town transportation. InvitedHome currently offers charming cabins in the heart of Old Town, with plans to expand into the surrounding neighborhoods of Deer Valley and the Canyons in the coming months. The list of properties is available here.

 

“Park City has always been a desirable destination, with its extensive list of offerings and high-end, amenity-rich properties,” said InvitedHome CEO Michael Joseph. “We will continue to grow in this market as increasing numbers of homeowners and real estate agents recognize the benefits of a quality luxury rental and property management solution equipped with InvitedHome’s level of care and communication.”

 

InvitedHome now manages high-end vacation rentals in 11 destinations across the U.S., with plans to add several more in 2018. Homes range from $1 million to $10 million on average, with amenities ranging from ski-in/ski-out or beachfront access to in-home spas, movie theaters, wine cellars and fine-art collections. InvitedHome’s team works on-the-ground to provide the niceties of a luxury hotel stay, so unlike working with the owner directly, guests feel confident that a third party is safeguarding the quality of their trip.

Is Your Retirement Plan Ready 
For The Longevity Revolution?

Sometimes a whole crate of birthday candles might not be enough.

Americans are living longer than ever, with the average life expectancy now rising to about 79 years. Some have referred to this trend as the “longevity revolution,” but it’s also creating a revolution in the way people think about retirement.

“What worked for retirees a generation ago isn’t going to work today,” says Jack Teboda, president of Teboda & Associates (www.teboda.com), a financial services firm.

“For most people, pensions are no more. Social Security has an uncertain future. And individual savings aren’t where they need to be for far too many people.”

That means people need to consider a number of factors to improve the odds of a joyful retirement, which is one reason Teboda says his firm takes a team approach to advising, using financial professionals with different areas of expertise. For example, one team member, Amanda Jager, is an Associate Financial Adviser, and another, Kevin C. Sanders, is also an Associate Financial Adviser and attorney specializing in estate planning. 

Teboda says just a few of the factors retirees need to be aware of are:

•    Tax implications. As people save for retirement, they often make plans based on the total amount in their accounts, but neglect to think about what kind of effect taxes will have on their bottom line. “Many retirees have money in tax-deferred vehicles, such as a traditional IRA or a 401(k),” Teboda says. “That means you were able to put off paying income taxes on the money while you were accumulating it, but once you are in retirement and start withdrawing money, it becomes taxable.” It’s important when planning for retirement to consider and understand all the tax ramifications, he says. 

•    Long-term care needs. When it comes to longevity, outliving your money isn’t the only concern, Teboda says. There’s also a greater chance that, as the decades pass, your health will decline and you’ll be in need of some sort of long-term care, which can be expensive. “It’s worthwhile to consider planning for that possibility,” he says. “There are options for coming up with a long-term care strategy, but you’ll want to make decisions based on your particular needs and circumstances.”

•    Market risks and you. In general, the longer you invest the more potential your money has to grow, but not everyone has the same risk tolerance. An aggressive-investing approach that could pay off more in the long run can make some people nervous. “For those people, there are conservative investment options that can still provide the potential for wealth accumulation,” Teboda says. One possibility is an annuity, which is an insurance product that pays the person a monthly amount for the rest of their lives, much like a pension. “Once you’re in retirement,” Teboda says, “you don’t want to endure a big loss in the market that you won’t have time to bounce back from.”

“With a real possibility that retirement could last three decades or longer, you need to put yourself in the best financial position possible,” Teboda says. “Anyone who doesn’t have a solid retirement plan and is just leaving things to chance could be making a very costly mistake.”
