How does this apply to real estate agents who operate as independent contractors rather than W-2 employees?

Meaning at what point do you hire employees, quit other income streams etc… Is the money coming through cash flow from rental properties or buying and selling… I am 21 and just starting out and this of course is the plan for the next 5-10 years but I want to plan ahead.

Other employees of SIMM will also be in the forums and active!

thanks Eric...I am always impressed with Osceola County Tax Collectors and Property Appraisers employees...they have always proven to be very helpful.

I just read an article that even In-n-Out is closing one of it's long time locations in Oakland because the crime is too high in the area and it's not safe for their employees.

Many of the ski resorts and summer road contractors will rent MTRs for their employees.  

Some highlights:The impending relocation of the Oakland A’s and the construction of its future home stadium on the Strip.11,000 workers will soon be hired to build high-speed Brightline rail from Las Vegas to California - While the hiring of employees to build the line is noteworthy, the impact of people from LA coming to Las Vegas will be even more significant.

So, I use Personal Capital to track my net worth (at least those parts of my net worth that can be harnessed in the pursuit of financial freedom - doesn't count retirement accounts, my car, or home equity if I owned a home that wasn't an investment property). 

They have the potential to be an amazing company yet after allowing rampant nepotism among owners & managers in conflicting job roles, the co-founder leaving the company abruptly in 2018, and selling programs they can't back up, they are experiencing MASSIVE employee & customer attrition.
