However, that is one of the key motivations for wanting to invest in RE, but Time, quality of life, and financial independence not to feel trapped without a w2, flexibility are some other motivators.

Here in WA, we have an Independent Contractor Agreement that agents sign with their office. 

The only thing Id push back here is in Powell's independence.

(that shouldn't have been) Most of the adjusters, not all, are also 3rd party independants, and DO make more money per volume of claims they write up.

Especially great if you're looking to create a business that allows you to be location independent!

I like Independence Title personally.

The courts in a case between two independent parties are concerned with points of law, not that a contract used was a copyright violation.  

The membership transactions in LLC-A are completely independent of the membership transactions of LLC-B, and further the changes have absolutely no bearing on the Operating company (LLC-O) or its taxes. 

I currently work a W2 in the HVAC field & have two independent businesses as personal trainer & public notary.

You'll have a mini empire and can be financially independent in under ten years.
