I have talked to Furnish finders I just wanted to verify they or concept was authentic.  

Moreover, I understood the importance of the concept of diversification aka not having all my eggs in one basket.The reality is that assets and money by themselves don't give you (financial) freedom if all you have is within a single country and at the whim of a single government. 

@Julia Oh I spoke with Dave about this same concept.

I can understand where you're coming from but similar to what @Marcus Auerbach mentioned, you need to look out for yourself.Continue to educate yourself with books like the Simple Path to Wealth and podcasts like BP Money (in addition to the real estate content of course) as it sounds like you may be curious about more than just real estate advice.Even if you choose to work with an advisor in the future, it's important that you understand the concepts and how to articulate your goals.

I just learned a really cool concept regarding evaluating the pro forma for bigger properties and finding the spots where the expenses may look “off” to be able to tell the story with the property.

Good concept and they have done a good job of working with the land and not disturbing the natural habitats.

Same concept.  

We turned the two small living rooms and sectioned off kitchen into one large open concept.

@Luther CreecyThe concept of “financial freedom” gets thrown around a lot in real estate.  

But in reality, the concept of strategic refinancing has always been one of the core benefits of real estate investing:Buying a property, enjoying the double-edged benefits of appreciation and debt reduction, then having the option to "withdraw" some of your equity with no tax implications through a cash-out refinance has always been one of the game changing benefits of investing in real estate.
