Looking for an independent book-keeper in the Seattle metro area that might be cost-effective.

Potentially Raytown, Independence, or south in areas such as Gardner, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Belton, Raymore. 

Congrats on taking action and working towards your financial independence!

I have been doing brrr method in independence successfully for a while and would happy to try to answer any questions you might have.

I would get independent advice on how to cover your personal items (and his business) separately from the structure.

I look forward to working our way into the housing market with the purpose of financial independence and producing a passive income!

One way to overcome this is to have sponsors have their prior deal performance independently verified by a 3rd party.

Are agents paid as employees or independent contractors for tax purposes?

By the time we are 40 my goal is to be independent from any work other than managing the properties we own.As we are both 23 I believe these are achievable goals and I am excited for any help with the right first steps to make these things happen.
