The bottom line is that (for the most part) swings in the market aren’t isolated and independent of other variables.

I am a realtor working independently so support is needed.

So you can imagine how i beat myself up about that, but better late than never.My goal is to use REI to gain financial independence and make it generational (secure).I'm really looking forward to learning from you all, and working along with as well, to increase our collective lot.BTW: BP membership is close to Barbados' population (286k)

You don't want one partner making those decisions, you want an independent professional making those decisions and CONFIRMING it's ok with BOTH partners.

They need an independent third party (appraiser) to determine comparable market rents.Stephanie

Hi MikeI would seek out an independent broker who also invests in real estate.

If it goes over $600 then you would have to 1099 him as an independent contractor.

I came to biggerpockets to learn and network, I had a co-worker that owned a few apartments and is financially independent but isn't part of the site.I'm a newbie, but in the near future I want to try using the BRRRR method.Should have rented out sooner.I've been doing some self study and searching for deals daily.Currently have a friend wanting to partner on flooded houses. 

I schedule it with them independently. 100% at my convenience.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an independent leasing agent or company in Kansas City, MO?
