My son (age 24) however, is an independant contractor / self employed and is trying to buy a house. 

Here's a blog I wrote about H.S.A.s invested in alternative assets Financial Independence Retire Early - Achieve FIRE Faster with a Self-Directed HSA- https://udirectira.com/achieve-fire-faster-with-a-self-direc...

Gaining valuable insights into the local market.Always consider that Jackson County has a LOT of variability in KC proper and then uniques submarkets of LS, BS, Independence, Raytown, Grandview, etc all with their own local city governments, rules and regulations, each with their own uniques submarkets of their own...Happy to chat and share my knowledge and experience.2.

Independent investor but willing to talk incentive for referral if deal is good.

Syndicators advertise for people on Facebook and other sites because most cannot raise institutional money as to raise institutional money they need to have audited financials, a due diligence report done on them by 3rd party to start.

Anyone know of people that got audited for being a RE prof and what happened?

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

I would suggest going to independent landlords and staying away from larger apartment complexes.

I work at my brothers business as a independent contractor ,  he has an accountant for this business is necessary for him to to this job or i can do it myself.

Quote from @Jarret Jarvis: @James Wise well the PM should have been auditing the electric every month if they have it in their names and are paying for it.
