I was trying to do due diliegence to independently verify the recommendation. it is reasonably 2.5 hrs from where I live in michigan2) The property met the %1 rule as suggested.Was looking at using turn key provider as I was trying to optimize my time between job , family and other things.I am sure those are not perfect reasons, but willing to hear your thoughts on Lyndhurst /Cleveland

I have a SFR rental with hail damage in Independence Missouri and need a recommendation for a roofer.  

Hey guys, I just wanted to remind everyone to make sure to independently confirm the square footage of any potential property against county or municipal records.

So according to my strategy, since they would all be short term independent investments before pulling new equity out, I think a HELOC would likely be better, as there would be lower upfront costs, and would likely be repaid before interest rate grew.  

If it makes you feel better, you can always hire an independent appraiser to evaluate the property.

How about an independent contractor agreement

But Im tired of building for other people and want to build my financial independence. 

For example; I own some multi's in Independence MO that I bought for 45k,75k,75k, that rent each for 1600. 

My goal is to become Financially independent.

My goal is financial independence.
