While Obie and Steadily might not currently have options, exploring other brokers and independent agents is advisable.

Way too risky for me to risk a CFPB audit.

There is a difference between profit and loss and cash.2.Each investment is reviewed independently from profit and losss, as you make more you can have greater down payment but the profit from it is always based on what you paid/have into it.

I want to start house hacking and living a life of financial independence by the summer of 2025.

This is because the Schedule E is obtained independently, and few people would inflate their rental income in that form (and pay more taxes than they should).  

They go quiet when you ask how much money they've earned, how many deals they've done, when they reached financial independence, etc.

Greetings, I am a Real Estate Broker based in Washington State, with extensive experience in residential real estate and recent involvement in commercial properties. I am currently pursuing a Master's in Real Estate D...

I currently work in the energy sector, but my ultimate goal is to become financially independent through real estate.

You wouldnt be able to sell them independently from the main home. 

@Alec Jacobs We typically m aside the windows and buy our own and usually get a quote based on the measurements from both the box stores and an independent glass company.
