My goal in life is to be financially independent and give back to the community in areas where I've benefit from. 

We are all about retiring (financial independence) with as few properties as possible.

Your workers comp premiums are based on the total amount of income you collect and your liability is independent of income, I assume.In the end, it sounds like you're trying to cut corners to save money (taxes and insurance) and that isn't good and standard practice for a contractor. 

There is plenty of business to be had out there but it is a BIG struggle for the independent escrow to keep doors open, let alone stay in the green every month.I have always charged top tier pricing and rarely have a complaint because I do handle things that the average EO won't handle and my service far exceeds most EO's out there.

All of my income is 1099, one job is independent contracting for an outside company and one is a home based business that my wife and I run.  

For the additional comfort of privacy, a SFH; house hacking for getting on the path towards financial independence.

You need to find an independant originator.You should pay 1% of the note to the originator with a minimum of around $695.

I haven't done so yet, so I don't have a more accurate estimate, but I've been using 10% of rent as my estimate.What kind of shape is the property in? Depending
