This might be a lengthy post so I apologize.Last March I took my first full time job as an experiential market manager in Orlando and although my job is pretty fun I quickly realized why I was an independent contractor for so long.

If you are working towards financial independence or to leave your day job, and you're comfortable with the idea of being a landlord, I like the idea of investing the resources to update the house now, and putting in a renter.

I thought sharing it today would help keep me motivated on my path to financial independence and maybe it will help some of you who are starting out.I grew up very poor.

Hi everyone,I am qualified to get the managing broker license in WA. However, I am just not sure when I am licensed, will I be able to make transactions myself? Or I still need to hang my license in one of the brokera...

Check with an independent ERISA tax attorney before you start on this project, and do not simply take the word of the internet or a plan provider that a 75-25 JV deal is OK. 

I have been fortunate in that area of investing and I funnel those profits back into securing my real estate assets so that at least one area I invest in is consistently strengthened and strengthen so that no matter what in the end I will end up with all pay off properties and an all positive cash flow because I too have my eyes on a good and comfortable , financially independent retirement.

You can avoid all of those if the seller is willing to carry the note.I would, however, recommend getting an independent appraisal.

You may find that you should each work independently and collaborate on some deals.Personally, I would work seperately, but stay in touch.

Long story short I’ve been through Foster Care & now in an Independent Living Program.

On one project, I had a GC balk at a very detailed, 8-page SOW for a very large project and told me he was "overwhelmed" by its appearance and the 5-page independent contractor contract that accompanied it.
