Hard money is pretty independent of normal requirements as you're just getting it from an individual investor, but it's usually a lot pricier and increases your risk.If you're confident in your construction timeline and in creating forced appreciation, hard money can be a pretty easy win, but it's definitely a lot more risk.

Devonte,Now is a good time to seek out a good independent agent for the Insurance.  

I know someone will have the exact statistic.

Can you find statistics that say that the area has a good deal to grow if certain things happen?

@Will ParkerCall your agent or independent insurer and get quotes.

It has a lot of statistics you can view for a particular city.

@Louis BaselIf the llc is disregarded for tax purposes you should be able not to pay rent as it does not change anything tax wise.However on the liability side you are commingling the llc asset with yours and it will be a factor helping to pierce your company veil.It is often recommended treating each entity as a fully independent business and to document activity between your businesses with contract and payments.

We are all independent contractors with enough time on the side to begin flipping houses which is our overall goal. 

I know one agent who hit the ground running, but was a bartender so she know a tremendous number of people who also knew a tremendous number of people.It should in one of those posts, but the National Association of Realtor's own published statistics are 75% of Realtors drop out in the 1st year, and by the 3rd year something like 90% or 95% drop out. 

@Matt Engle, my ultimate goal is to become financially independent and be better prepared for retirement.
