It is a statistical thing. 

@Nhi Nguyen I believe that the laws about deaths in properties vary from state to state (and I'm not familiar with these laws).From an investment standpoint, if the death in the property demonstrably lowers the property's value, then yes--I'd either offer less, or just avoid the property entirely.From a personal comfort standpoint, people obviously have widely varying reactions to deaths in properties...some people would be completely unwilling to buy or live in a house where a death occurred, and other people don't care.Personally, I've lived in old houses all my life, and I presume that people have died in those houses (it's almost a statistical certainty for a 120+ year old home)--and it doesn't bother me at all.  

There is a reason Detroit is always in the top 1 or 2 in crime statistics.

Now, the only think I will need is to find a template for this Independent contract agreement .

It's never too late and you can, depending on income and desired location, get to financial independence in 7-15 years

When I look back and ask what was it that kept me going and move forward with my second deal that I was so worried about, I see two things. 1.) my why- I had a plan that I wanted to own multiple “doors” that were completely paid off so I’d be financially independent to the point that I could offer apartments to people homeless or in a bad spot, with a program that would help get people off the streets and financial independent.

Yes you would need to join that firm as an independent contractor.

Luckily I started to see how destructive my habits were and I decided that I needed to change something and get some goals so I could be much more independent.

You want to look at a few different statistics. 1.
