I did the stock thing the real estate thing and even the self employed thing.

No matter what the economy, our weather, locations on the coast, amusement parks, sports arenas, employment opportunities, educational institutions, medical facilities, and so much more make California popular. 

Number of occupants in the dwelling unit, pets, income of prospective tenant, social security number and current employment listed on the application or lease agreement. 2.

If they get hurt and the Worker's comp judge determines you were the employer, you are screwed without Worker's comp insurance.

Is it okay to mention my employers?

You are subject to all the employment laws and tax withholding etc.

We contribute enough to our 401k's to get our top employer match.

We picked up some tools and a toolbox, but were really waiting for the big sale on Allure vinyl plank to stock up on a few thousand.

If you are having to tap your retirement account to meet the absolute minimum down payment requirement, then you might be putting yourself at even more risk.With your 401k, you can roll it into an IRA but that comes with several conditions. 1) If your 401k is with your current employer, then your ability to roll it into an IRA is dependent on the administrator (probably your company's HR rep) to allow it.

I wish I could do the true nomad lifestyle, but at the moment my employer is geographically located in a specific location and I really like the job :) Mostly likely in the next coming years I'll just move throughout the town putting 5% as primary residences lol.
