I make financial independency a goal but I try to stay conscious that it should be more of a tool instead of the goal.

Here’s why - There’s not a single verifiable testimonial that I could find on your product nor do you offer a “peak behind the curtain” (to independently gauge quality of anticipated leads).

I dream of financial independence, while also adding some much needed family time that has been greatly lacking due to my current work schedule.

If you play it right you will walk out of there with dozens of leads on all of the abandoned/troubled properties, names of landlords that buy properties etc...Pro tip: I've yet to meet an independent barber shop owner that didn't have a side gig: rental units, pizza shop... something.      

So we created a second escrow independent of the assumption escrow, but they closed concurrently.  

Yes, just simply find another bank...They can have concerns in giving you that second loan because from a compliance standpoint it can look shady if they were ever audited, or if you went into foreclosure...Usually banks aren't that paranoid if they know there is no shady business going on...Someone who is purposely looking to buy O/O just to get cheaper rate...There may be guidelines from the lender they sell the loans to that stipulate 12-months seasoning on any O/O loan before they do financing for another O/O home...But usually only applies to that bank or lender.With Banks so competitive to get more business, you will be hard pressed to find another lender that will turn down the opportunity for a new loan!

I look for a good price to purchase ratio - 1.5%, in a good neighborhood (Independence/Raytown or farther East), with good schools, in homes families want to live in long term (3 bed, preferably 2 bath). 

We're going to talk to our saint of a neighbor tonight to see what the next steps are.We have called USAA, and they sent out an independent assessor.  

Before you know it you will have 100's of units all paid for and be financially independent.  

I have my Purchase and Seller Agreement, Affidavit of Equitable Interest Contract and a Bird Dog/Independent Contractors Agreement (I have someone wanting to send me smoking hot deals but wants to know I wont screw them over).
