.-- Just audited by IRS this summer for first time ever and had no issues!

Hey congrats this is just like the DA who becomes a defense lawyer or an IRS agent who switch's sides and represents those being audited  etc etc..

Can I even be financially independent in this situation?

I'm particularly passionate about cash flowing for financial independence and renovating with my construction experience.Outside of real estate, I enjoy fishing, ultimate frisbee, skiing.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Private placements are inherently risky by that very fact - they are not regulated or audited  to the degree that a publicly traded company is.  

Under audit, the auditor will seek substantiation that what you reported was truthful.

Work with a knowledgeable independent agent 

I had downloaded all of the ledgers from the online portal .4 days after the relationship ended we started the process of auditing each property.

.- I found one lady online give an independent review, and as I said she was lower income, didn't say anything bad, and put the blame on herself.

Independent studies (1, 2) and basic logic show you will make more selling it yourself.
