I love being an independent insurance broker but want to earn extra and learn.

@Steve Chan I see your point... but personally, I'm contributing enough to my 401k to get my employer match then down the road when I'm financially independent, make use of the roth conversion ladder tactic.

An appraiser is hired by the bank as an independent third party to estimate the most reasonable price the property would sell for between most buyers and sellers so they can judge how risky the loan is.

The neighborhoods you choose to work in depends a lot on your budget, your risk tolerance and your goals.

You are providing your daughter with skills and knowledge to be financially independent and successful.

The loan is supposed to be for any economic damage you have from the disaster, if you are intending to "funnel" and "be creative" with "tricks," remember the terms do state you can be subject to an audit of your books, I don't think it would be a good idea for anyone to reply here under real names with ideas on how to get around the terms of the loan. 

Overall this is a good thing for the economy/human well-being/financial independence but for myself I don't see buying a 800k SFH stick built dwelling anytime soon.Am I wrong in my estimation?

Also, take my input with a grain of salt as I'm a very independent and opinionated person.

I am looking to start small with a SFH, and then grow and scale from there, ultimately to reach financial independence and to leave a legacy for my family.

Hi Gayle, this is a great question and in many circumstances, self-supplied applications can be of some concern (ie. just like other self-reported recommendation letters, it may not always provide thorough enough insight into the applicant; however, some platforms (built with independent DIY rental owners in mind) make it possible for tenants/prospective renters to complete online applications and then share those applications with other landlords if, say for instance, they didn't get the first rental that they applied for — in fact, depending on the tool they use it can be a great way to only need to pull their credit once (which would include current credit score and a breakdown of their credit history, nationwide background check, and eviction history) if they have multiple applications circulation, which is not all that uncommon.
