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

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

Dave Meyer and Henry Washington answered this question during the podcast episode we published yesterday (Ep. 1,057).

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)?

Go for the independent PMs, not just a real estate agent offering property management on the side or one of those cookie-cutter franchises (PMI / RPM). 

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?

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

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."
