Don't forget Honey Dew and a couple of hundred independent coffee shops.  

First time starting as a IRO, I have been doing research and came across HAA.org and saw a course available for independent rental owners...I was wondering if anyone think that would be a good idea?

I assume they tell me to get a contractor to add a meter (looks easy) and run independent sewer outflows from each house (might involve an act of Congress)?

@Jefferson SmithUnfortunately, no, there is no reputable 3rd party independent review of self-directed IRA custodians. 

Is a "10% deal" normally independent of the pay-back length?

I am seeking to find professionals to help grow my passion and interest in becoming financially independent.

I don't know how'd I'd independently verify that number without seeing all their tenant records.

Just keep in mind that making an offer is independent from financing.These are just suggestions based upon opinions and not an endorsement or recommendation of a specific course of action.

So, it really depends on the facts and circumstances, but this is something you may want to double-check.The issue with getting your own appraisal is that a lender may not trust that it wasn't done independently or jointly.

We’ve dedicated ourselves and made it our goal to become financially independent by the age of 35.
