This is why I said it's best to ask the seller for original purchase price, rehab info, comps and appraisals to see how close to market you are buying (and do your own independent research too!).

I did work with the realtor in the ARV and also did my own independent homework.

You can be financially independent by the time you're 30 if you save and invest wisely in real estate.

Myo, I am an Independent Foundation Consultant.

If you don't want to hand your SSN out to 20 different institutions, a local independent mortgage broker will be able to run your credit once and show you wholesale rate/fee options from dozens of banks and lenders.

I'm independent, no debt, no student loans, very low tuition (with financial aid grants), rent of $500 per month, credit score above 750 and a small chunk of change saved up in the amount of $15,000. 

I've been in the Air Force for the past 10 years and I'm hoping to use this as a means to becoming financially independent by the time I retire in another ten years so that I can focus on what makes me happy rather than what pays the bills.I am currently living in the Richmond, VA area, where I own a home that I will be renting out in another year or so when I leave here.If anyone has any advice, I am all ears and I look forward to participating in these forums!

With student loans and other expenses, I was hesitant to take the risk.So, with the BiggerPockets and my independent research, I see that wholesaling is a great way to gain capital, which would help with my startup.

The proliferation of independent owners dilutes any possibility of uniformity.
