Not that it can't be done, but statistically, you would have to buy a lot of good liens to end up owning a house.  

My goals are to develop a degree of financial independence by generating income from multiple niches. 

And they had not talked about this, both came to that conclusion independently.

Banks prefer W2 income over a 1099 independent contractor any day. 

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

@Bob EstlerThe statistical probability of someone getting hurt due to a sinkhole is astronomically low.

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.
