(I assume you are not a licensed broker -- which is another issue with your plan).Depending upon your state law, hard money brokers will also have a fiduciary responsibility to their investors (they do in CA) and would be required to evaluate any deal you bring to see if it's sitable for her to loan against.You’ll still make your sale and she will have a presumably safe loan, vetted by someone independent who understands and will disclose all risks to her.

We are looking for a single family up to 4plex and have a few areas right outside the KC market that we are currently looking at (Lees Summit, Blue Springs, Independence, Warrensburg). 

I also did not independently confirm any of this information.

I'm going to start an Financial Independence Dallas Meetup (how is there not one already?!).

I looked through some previous posts on this and many people suggested to use an independent agent who specializes investment property insurance. if you have such experience, will you shed light on this topic?

And after that, at least 2 deals by end of 2019.Long term goal is financial independence.

I would recommend starting to call some independent agents in your area.

That being said, Green is not an independently wealthy area and is naturally tied to both Akron and Canton.

My goal (just like everyone else here) is to achieve financial independence through real estate investing. 

Hi BP friends, great thread to start so thank you for that.I am most thankful for my health, the health of my daughter, family and friends and my full time career which even though takes more time from me than i would like still offers me the ability to have some security while making the transition from W2 to financial independence in REI.I am thankful for my 1 year journey in REI.
