These are NOT employees according to the website, they’re independent contractors who receive 1099 at the end of the year.  

Initially it was more prominent but most are used to it nowYes, I saw some statistics from a big transaction manager and the seller is paying both sides of the commission in almost every transaction.

We are currently building many investment Single Family Homes on independent lots that focus on maximizing rent.

It is our goal to provide all the tools, resources, education & coaching any individual needs to learn how to build a sustainable investment portfolio to achieve financial independence & generational wealth through real estate investing.It should be noted, that while the Academy is not a requirement to invest with RTR, the individuals that do join the Academy are much more successful long term since they have spent time to clearly develop their own individual investment strategy & plan!

My end game is to show you a path to financial independence, whether that be at 45 yrs old or 70 yr old.  

The reality is most financially independent people went through a decade + of working 60-80 hours a week.

You want to mix in advertisements with quality content that people will want to read such as DIY articles, market statistics, and popular housing trends.

And why 20-80, is that some magical ratio, or perhaps it's backed up by some sort of statistical analysis? 

To answer your title directly, house hacking is entirely worth it and if you're willing to be a landlord it's 100% the best springboard to financial independence.
