@Charlie ChresSchedule payments as draws with clear cut milestones and acceptance criteria.

All you need to do is bullet point your acomplishments and milestones as a real estate investor.

Interesting graphs.  

I'm specifically looking for charts or graphs of cap rates for the last 30-40 years.

A good GC can be your project manager and then you could pay disinterested third party in KC a flat fee per project visit to inspect and assess % of completion at scheduled contract milestones for each GC payment and/or permit required inspection.

For example if the property appreciates and you have >20% equity, you could knock off the mortgage insurance with a refi, where the equity can serve in lieu of a down payment.Almost no one goes above any of the milestones without going all the way to the next one, (f. ex 9% down or 18% down... go all the way to 10% or 20%, or stick to the lower tier) since the benefit is so marginal, relative to staying liquid. 

I have a very common milestone, I believe, which is to generate enough passive income to leave my W2 job.

Take a look at the graph "National Housing Price Index and Inflation Rate."

They would do all the heavy lifting and research on the front end we’re you would just do your due diligence and confirm the numbers and ensure they meet their milestones.

I am still in the "education" and "building capital/credit" phase of my journey, but am looking to get an action plan in motion as well to lay the groundwork for a series of tasks, goals, and milestones to eventually achieve financial independence using this method.My girlfriend is also very interested in doing this.
