My goal is to be financially independent from my real estate knowledge and acquire more passive income with rentals.I look forward to seeing you around the forums and getting and giving good good ideas and strategies to help us all achieve our goals.

Was it previously branded or independent?

Hi everyone. I'm brand new to this site and forums but currently seek advice on how my wife and I can take the first step towards becoming real estate investors to replace our current jobs. We were lucky to purchas...

Some RE Agents are employees of the Broker but generally most are independent contractors.

This provides an independent scale of 1 to 5 - 1 you should not rent and 5 is a great risk.  

Auditing can't get any more fun.

Every tenant has a right to quiet enjoyment of their rental unit and unless you have a well documented case in which you've sent them several certified letters (or emails to create an audit trail) don't go and try to evict or chances are the judge will not rule in your favor.   

What I think you're saying is that you are an employee of the HOA but working as an independent contractor for the side jobs.

I understand that having a tenant in the building is a higher risk than owner occupied, but somehow I thought that would be offset in that there is no personal property to cover anymore.My next step is to find a good independent broker to look at my entire insurance portfolio.

@David Stratton from your profile I see that you are a real estate agent, which means you are independent contractor.
