I want so bad to be independent!

Although I am still struggling to get my first independent deals going (something other than renting our former primary residences) I have learned a TON, and have saved a TON by not spending money I would have previously spent unnecessarily.  

Since each deal is independent, private money and hard money lenders are focused on the individual property's ability to pay back the loan.God Bless You!

(Independent Title?).  

Just be working on a Plan B if they only offer limits, since accepting that offer may preclude your ability to sue independently.

IE Mid west deep south etc.At the end of the day just do what a bank does  Hire an Independent appraiser that you pay for and ask them to give you a conservative value and an aggressive value..

2 things to consider from an insurance perspective,You will need to purchase a work comp policy if hiring him as an employee or as an independent contractor who does not carry his own work comp policy. 

Verify independently.

Why would you build two structures (accessory unit + main house)  Are those independent structures or on the same foundation?  

Finally, he wants to be paid in cash (but that’s not going to happen…he will receive a 1099 as an independent contractor whether he likes it or not).He provides no upfront capital or risk, I provide all the training, in place systems, financial and intellectual capital, contacts, legal entities, and accounting to make this business work…It has taken me about a year of blood sweat and tears to finally get it rocking at a good flow.
