That said, if a contractor has a reasonable contact that contains:- Independent contractor statement- Insurance clauses- Scope of work- Payment schedule- Milestones/deadlines- Etc.I'd be okay signing it as the only contract. 

@Michael RobbinsI agree with your opinion that the Las Vegas market has a lot of growth upside.In this post I will cover the current market, what we anticipate, and the difference between investing in a declining or static market and an appreciating market.Current Las Vegas MarketI always prefer charts to text so below are some graphs I hope you find interesting.

Ditmas Park, Windor Terrace and Clinton Hill -- I have graphs from the last THREE YEARS ONLY -- let me show you!

@Austin Fruechting FYI: In the interest of making sure future people know the model image I originally posted is a discussion point and not reference material, I updated the linked image to indicate the left side of the graph is incorrect and needs more data.

If you graph the death benefit and cash value in a 5-pay design, it looks like this...If you think of the death benefit as the primary cost driver in a policy, you can see that from year 6 onward, there is very little cost in the policy.

My first milestone is to replace $6000 per month in income through rentals.

Many milestones later and still enthusiastic!

But the 9-5 + the requirements of me to travel and miss out on things that mean the world to me (time with my family, milestones of my son, family vacations and making memories every single day) are finally taking their toll.

You certainly ain't moving out of state then.Take a look at this graph here representing labor in San Francisco:The Green Line is for Tier 1 jobs making $118k per year.

I am not going to agree or disagree with that specific milestone, but I will say that I think one can get there faster, with less work, investing in MF syndications than in SFH.
