Possibly partner with a group but would only do money lending or group in exchange for gaining knowledge of how to independently do things.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

But Im heavily lacking true mentorship to take me to my intended goal of reaching the financial independence community so I can continue to gain more of my freedom and time with loved ones!

It’s great to hear that you and your wife are taking the leap into real estate investing independently.

I never go off of a flat percentage on anything, I analyze the costs to get to a specific return I target and analyze the risk that is involved. 70% may be an initial metric to see if it is even worth pursuing, but every deal should be evaluated independently based on costs, time and risk involved.

Example: "I want to build financial independence through real estate investing.

Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house has 4 - BD 2 B. our mortgage is $4009. the property we bought has an attached dwelling unit on the side of it, completely independent from the main unit we live in, we are currently renting it out for 2 years for a tenant for $1545, It has one bedroom one bath.My question is what are some ways to scale especially since in the current market (is kind of almost impossible)?

I'm an independent agency owner that represents both Foremost and Obie.  

Given your extensive reviews and strong opinions about so many land investing courses, would you be willing to verify your identity as an independent investor?
