My dream is to be financially independent and to be able to eat at any restaurant I want without having to worry about the bill. 

NOI is calculated independently of financing. 

Both are great resources for learning more about financial independence, cutting costs, and other little life hacks you can implement pretty easily to save more.

I discovered BiggerPockets while researching a novel I'm currently writing in which the main character is pursuing financial independence.

If you don't have an insurance agent i would google Trusted Choice and search by zip code for a local independent agent.

Our biggest hurdle is the financing aspect of it and we both know a couple of people locally who may be able to help, BUT we are wanting to start learning as much as possible to turning this idea into a future career as we both like the idea of employment independence as well as financial independence.

I'm a senior at Princeton University, and I'm passionate about financial independence through real estate, and about paying forward to others, the many blessings that I enjoy.

After Dad died, Mom ended up losing it to the bank.Looking back after that happened, I began to consider real estate as a vehicle to financial independence.

You need to find an independent agent and discuss your issues with them.
