Financial Advisors that are Independent RIA's will often do it significantly cheaper.

A real estate agent is an Independent Contractor who in most states like Maryland are Licenced Salespeople NOT Realtors.

We are currently HH and living in the basement but it's pretty much it's own independent unit so we are pretty separated from out tenants and it works out great for me and my partner.

However, there are many independent fee-only advisors starting up now that work on a fixed or flat fee, where that conflict no longer exists.

These estimates are independent from the 2020 census, which hasn't been released yet.

Definitely working towards financial independence to get my time back to spend with family and traveling.

My wife (44) is a hairstylist and I’m a W-2 employee (45) and we are crunching the numbers to see how we gain financial Independence in the next 10 years.

Agents usually work as independent contractors, and many work part time.The number of agents also tends to roughly correlate with the performance of the housing market.

Independently find the website and don’t just rely on emailed links or phone numbers.

I reached my "financial independence" number many years ago.However, I am still full pedal on the gas at my day job -- I'm a Senior Manager for Fortune 100 internet companies which I'm very proud of, particularly for a woman in this industry and enjoy.I'm in my mid 40s so it's early, but I made all this money to retire so want to start doing that.But I'm scared and really want to talk to some people who have actually retired off of their real estate wealth to get a sense of how it works out -- 10, 20, 30, 40 years out.I'd love to hear your situation and share my own situation in the hopes of getting a sense of how this could actually work in practicality years out.
