We're well on our way to financial independence, all thanks to BP.

@Don Konipol we solved it by learning from the Intentional Living Community (the OG's of independent adults living together). 

They boast a robust portfolio management suite with some fancy bells and whistles, but they're using independent third party contractors to scale on the ground.

If you owe the bank a lot of money and can't pay the bank has a problem.4.You can't time the market.5.Properties always appreciate.6.Syndications are the way to go if you are a tired landlord.7.Financial independence in 3 years by age 25.8.It cash flows x dollars per month.9.

Curious if you have confirmed independently the value of the assets that have held their value? 

These include falsely claiming to have closed dozens of deals when none were ever closed, illegal payment of undisclosed sales commissions to bundlers and independent contractors, advertising the funds as safe and appropriate to investors with obvious near-term needs for their capital, creating fund of funds en masse assembly line fashion with no corresponding SEC filings, unregistered brokers/financial advisors acting in that capacity absent licensure, having customers wire money claim the fund is fully subscribed and putting them into a high yield promissory note, accepting funds from unaccredited investors, misrepresentations about the debt put on the project, lies about experience level of the principals, omissions of material facts, and at least two straight up Ponzi schemes.While it's true that some legitimate operators are having issues in their portfolios, today's circumstances are a perfect example of the idiom, "you can only discover who is swimming naked when the tide goes out."

And then hopefully leave my W2 job.I am doing this because I want financial independence to be able to do traveling with my fiance.

.#2 More Privacy for Tenants:With single-family homes and ADUs, tenants get the advantage of more privacy and independence compared to multifamily properties where tenants share common spaces.

I would recommend attempting to obtain the contact phone number independent of the number that the tenant provides, i.e. website of the property.

Seller agents have an obligation "fiduciary" to their clients so they will have to show the home to unrepresented buyers, if agents want to try and cut the independent buyer out then they risk the buyer lodging formal complaints.
