You’ve Been Sold the Wrong Story About

REAL ESTATE

It’s not just about buying a property and hoping it goes up.
When used the right way, real estate becomes:
  • A cash-flowing asset that pays you monthlyA source of capital you can borrow from, while it keeps growing
  • ​A strategy to build long-term wealth and equity
  • ​A source of leverage using banks’ money to grow faster
  • ​A tax-advantaged investment with depreciation and write-offs
  • ​A legacy plan that clears debts, not creates them
  • ​A financial foundation that can fund future deals and opportunities
But most people never hear this side of the story.

Why This Matters:

Most Americans are underutilizing real estate or approaching it the wrong way.
They either:
  • Sit on equity without using it 
  • ​Buy properties that don’t cash flow
  • ​Or avoid real estate entirely due to confusion or fear

Who This Is For:

You’re earning income and want to turn it into cash-flowing assets

You want to build long-term wealth and create financial security for your family
You’re tired of confusing strategies and want a clear real estate game plan
You’re looking for a smarter place to put your money that can grow and pay you back

RETIREMENT PLANNING

Retirement planning is the process of determining how much money you will need to save and invest in order to have a comfortable retirement and what steps you need to take to achieve that goal. It involves analyzing your current financial situation, including your savings, investments, and debt, and creating a plan to help you achieve your retirement goals.

Some key questions to consider when planning for retirement include:
  • When do you want to retire?
  • ​How much money do you want to have saved by the time you retire?
  • ​How much money will you need to maintain your current standard of living in retirement?
  • ​What sources of income will you have in retirement, such as Social Security, pensions, and investments?
  • ​What expenses do you expect to have in retirement, such as housing, healthcare, and leisure activities?
EPIC Financial Strategies take a far more customized approach to this planning than a typical cookie cutter plan. EPIC will show you how to incorporate the power of actuarial science coupled with your market based investments to create a substantially higher and more sustainable income stream.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT

The goal of wealth management is to help clients achieve financial security and stability over the long term. This may involve developing strategies to grow and preserve wealth, minimize taxes, and manage risk. Wealth management is a collaborative process that involves ongoing communication and review to ensure that a client's financial plan stays on track and continues to meet their changing needs and goals. It involves developing a comprehensive financial plan that takes into account an individual's or family's current financial situation, future goals, and risk tolerance. Wealth management typically includes a range of financial services, such as investment management, financial planning, tax planning, estate planning, and risk management.

Disability insurance

Disability income insurance, also known as disability insurance or income protection, is a type of insurance that provides financial protection in the event that you are unable to work due to a disability. 

There are two main types of disability income insurance: short-term disability insurance and long-term disability insurance. Short-term disability insurance provides coverage for a specific period of time, typically between three months and one year. Long-term disability insurance provides coverage for a longer period of time, often until the policyholder reaches retirement age.

EPIC can help you build an income replacement plan that minimally covers the essentials for you. For those looking for more robust protection EPIC can design a plan that can help you to meet your current obligations and maintain your standard of living. This is where understanding your full financial picture becomes so important.

group benefits

Group benefits are employee benefits that are provided to a group of employees. These benefits are often sponsored by an employer and may include health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, retirement plans, and other types of coverage.

These can be voluntary benefits where the employee pays some cost and can chose to participate or not. There are also benefits that are given to the employee as part of their overall compensation.

Some common types of group benefits include:
  • Health insurance
  • ​Group Life insurance
  • ​Group Disability insurance
  • Retirement plans: Employers may offer retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans or pension plans, to help employees save for retirement.
  • Other types of group benefits may include dental insurance, vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, and employee assistance programs.
Employers may offer group benefits as a way to attract and retain employees, as well as to promote the health and well-being of their workforce. Group benefits can also provide tax advantages for both the employer and the employee.

college funding

College funding can be a significant financial undertaking, as the cost of higher education has been rising in recent years. There are several options available to help students and their families pay for college, including scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs.

One important aspect of college funding is planning ahead. It is a good idea to start thinking about how you will pay for college well before your child is ready to enroll. This will give you time to research your options and make a plan. Some steps you can take to plan for college funding include:
  • Researching financial aid options
  • Saving for college
  • Evaluating your budget
  • Considering alternative options
EPIC Financial Strategies can help you understand the options available for you as well as, how to best position your assets to minimize there impact on your Child’s FAFSA application.
