We've seen substantial tech gains for over a century along with big population growth. 

I think you could make a million as an agent, though there are a lot of expenses, and few net a million.I think a mix of buy and hold and fix and flip can provide the balance of current income and long term wealth.Listen to my BP Podcast #82, I've had some years with seven figure paydays, but unfortunately not every year. 

the part that got us was since it was the middle of the night we got stuck with a parts house fee since the repair tech had to get a parts house open in the middle of the night, and the furnace was a Goodman and not many people in my city stock the parts so very few options.

Not only is that not true, but you are mixing up terms.

It's sort of like mixing business with pleasure, sometimes one interferes with the other.

Also, if I open an LLC and want to place $3000 emergency fund in there to start is this allowed or am I then considered mixing up personal funds?

I know the tall ships I sail on use a mix of linseed oil and Penetrol for protecting wood, but I don't think they use it on the decks.

also, since its moreless a rural area, i thought such a service might help me get out and learn the area, see what's out there, and mix some with homeowners.
