As a 1099 independent contractor, you are seen as "Self-Employed" and you will need a 2-year history.

This is very general of course and each local market must be analyzed independently.

Any recommendations for an independent insurance broker that can cover multiple states (CA, GA, AL, DC)?  

I'm trying to supplement my income and hopefully reach financial independence with REI, and excited to get into my first property soon.

You, Vic, I think will see that as an independent lender the PML and HML lines get a little blurry. 

I am hoping to achieve financial independence and build a nice portfolio.

I am ecstatic to be in the beginning of my FIRE journey, and to use BRRRR real estate investing to reach my goal of financial independence.

I just purchased my first duplex in Independence MO both units are occupied.

I am not a contractor, but most bread and butter homes are pretty easy to estimate unless you get into structural or foundation issues.I have several great GC and handyman contacts as well as independents for cabinets, flooring, windows, roofs, paint etc if you plan to self manage the project.

@Paul BrownDo you have 100 w2 employees or 100 independent contractors that work with you in the moving business?
