We will be financially independent.

I am getting a RLI personal umbrella policy from an independent insurance broker.

I am considering taking the CO/national real estate exam + course hours requirement and becoming an independent broker or associating with a small brokerage (I can see the benefit of associating with a firm experienced in the area and able to bounce ideas off of).

Money Mustache (MMM), a fellow Canadian who retired at 30, supporting his family through his investments.This introduced me to the concept of financial independence.

So rather than having truly "independent" or "arm's length" recommendations, we get the appearance of recommendations from some sort of affiliation.

Maybe a couple of the big national brands and a couple of smaller independent ones. 

If the building has independent supply runs to each unit, you have the option of sub-metering water and billing each unit for their consumption. 

@Justin ThindAlways take what you see on BP with a grain of salt and verify independently.

I would have someone independent of your contractor do the walk through with you

No one size fits all on the journey to independence.
