@Jameson Sullivan I have a similar strategy as you, I'm using my wife's 40th birthday as the goal for financial independence which we define as passive income greater than our expenses.  

If you are worried about big ticket items failing early have each and every one of the items inspected by an independent inspector.  

What I am having issues with is 2 clauses: 1) compensating the PM for any issues arising, as part of the   hold harmless clause which I am fine about, 2)  Broker may perform any of Broker's duties through attorneys, agents, employees, and independent contractors, and shall not be responsible for their acts, omissions, defaults, negligence, and/or costs except for persons working in Brokers firm. 3) A clause on mediation which is fine, but I am not convinced with part of the paragraph which reads "The following matters are excluded from the requirement hereunder: (a) judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or other action or proceeding to enforce a deed of trust, mortgage, or installment land sale contract, (b) an unlawful detainer action, (c) the filing or enforcement of a mechanic's lien, and (d) any matter which is within the jurisdiction of a probate courtAny thoughts appreciated!

Received my comps from an independent real estate agent and now I am back to square one.

One of them is you will need to provide independent representation for the tenant (at your cost).

Now that I have that, I'm looking for opportunities to leverage my money and get to financial independence ASAP!

I am relatively financially independent and my work is very flexible giving me lots of free time.

For obvious reasons they are very heavy on the marketing...Second observation: What makes the independently owned inventory even harder to find is the fact that apartment complexes SPAM the living F* out of craigslist, so you need to scroll down many pages to even find a few unique listings.In between all this spam it becomes harder for tenants to use Craigslist to find a place to live. 

@Chris Purcell,Congratulations on being independently wealthy!

Automated cars:You will become location independent .
