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.

What would you do outside of these numbers, to independently determine if this is a good deal?

My understanding is that here in California, a broker's license permits an individual to operate independently without having to hang their license/be affiliated with another brokerage firm. 

BRRRR out of those buys ASAP, and keep on buying until you can see the financial independence light at the end of the tunnel.At that point, start making extra principal payments on one property loan until you pay it off. 

If you are not in agreement with the loss settlement offer, you would hire an independent adjustor and arbitrate or an attorney to litigate.

Podcasts, Books, and Mentors you find by networking.I'd pick up a copy of Set for Life by Scott Trench as it has a good framework for financial independence, especially for a newer investor.
