I’m very interested in becoming financially independent and it would be great to have a support system (beyond digital), that we could all rely on together.

Most of the areas from Independence, Raytown, South Kansas City and Grandview can be good.

When you get into a higher end product/market, it becomes like every design decision is its own independent 'deal' or house. 

I mean would you rather begin working towards financial independence or have a car that you could eventually repurchase later.

Note: there are independent companies that encourage you to set up bi-weekly payment schedules with them on your thirty year mortgage.

You would be way ahead if you paid them 25.00 an hour as a 1099 or independent contractor.It is all a decision you have to make about time and the value of the money.  

Some people seek independence from needing a 9-5 job so their objective it to earn enough from owning, controling or managing real estate assets  to both pay all of their bills and even beyond that earn enough spendable dollars that they can use an in income on top of everything all the while building up assets which in the end they will own outright and have all the money that can come for the value of their assets in the long haul. 

Mine and another flat fee brokers are not. 5 different firms, keller williams of course, but one independent too.There you have it.

@Mano Chidambaram any mid size independent insurance agency would be able to help you with D&O. 

This is why I always recommend using an Independent Agent that has the best interest of the customer at heart, not the best interest of the companies bottom line.
