I also thought about whether we should have an independent electrician take a look at the damaged items before we filed the claim to Erie Home Insurance.

We've elected to master key each of our properties independently.

I've owned and rehabbed houses before but they where either projects assisting family members or they where organic efforts of my own with no clear focus.I have worked in the corporate world for 15 years owning and operating a business along the way.I have a successful career in the Telecommunications industry but I'm starting to dream the dreams of financial independence through real estate investment.The wealth of knowledge found here is FANTASTIC and really appreciated!

You can pay an independent assessor, probably the most important.

Someone I can grow with and learn how to be financially independent.

Basically, you'll hire them to raise money for you as an independent contractor and will usually take between 2-5% raised.

Yes, it's independent, and it's actually CDPE, there are 40,000 agents with this designation in the US.

@Steve L.Could I be so bold as to ask approx. how much someone like you mention is costing (I read the entry on your website about the process and I'm intrigued)I have a man who is very experienced (managed 98 units, licensed arborist, competent carpenter, plumbing and electric and roofing, intelligent, independent, etc. though he probably is a little perfectionist and might eat up some extra time that way) but he's self employed and billing at (an agreed upon) $27 per hour. this is higher than my main carpenter but he is much cheaper than my roofer, plumbier, etc. so it can even out.

You might try independent agents who have a number of companies to choose from.

Also it's not a bank seller, it's being sold through a Realtor by an independent investor.
