If the turnkey company gives us an idea what the property is worth, our verification doesn't go back to the turn-key to question about the value, no we instead turn to third party i.e. independent re searches that verify the value - and same with all other information given to us by turnkey companies, realtors, sellers or whomever your are interreacting with."

Although we’re not a local bank or credit union, we are independent mortgage brokers with experience in financing options that consider rental income rather than personal income. 

Over time, the organization would reinvest in these properties and buy out equity partners, ensuring stability and independence for the endowment. 

I believe all of the remaining clients following me to my independent company shows that the bulk of the value of the company that I shared with her, was based on my contributions.

Your focus on building equity and achieving independence aligns well with your chosen strategies. 

In my experience, you are thinking through this correctly.I've heard lawyers say, if the loan is in your name (which it has to be for conventional) and the deed is in the LLC, you aren't treating the business as an independent entity and in a severe lawsuit, the corporate veil is pierced and the LLC can be thrown out.I agree that one of the best defenses is to run your properties well. 

Focus on quality over quantity and regularly reassess your portfolio and strategies to stay aligned with financial independence goals.Good luck!

I'm 42 with a family, financially independent, and doing it right now. 4 of us are sharing 1 bathroom while we slowly fix up this house.

I would also INSIST that the seller have independent legal representation before I entered into a contract with an owner occupant.  

I will also add that many independent travelers that do room rentals enjoy having their own fridge.To keep things kosher in shared spaces, my friend who runs PadSplit says every room comes with one colors or plates cups etc to ensure that guests are accountable for their own dishes.
