I currently work as an independant contractor selling houses for a person that buys and sells.

Be an independent advisor who also raises capital for real estate deal sponsors.  

Your best bet is to hire an independent inspector to assess the property conditions 

Keep up the great work and progress for financial independence...

Hey everyone my name is DeJaun Mckenzie I'm 21 and I'm a chef at a independent owned restaurant, I currently have 0 experience in real estate but every day I'm learning more and learning that I haven't learned enough, I got interested in Real Estate because my boss's brother was telling me it's something I should get into and since then I've been hooked on wholesaling and in the midst of my research I stumbled upon BP and before I knew it I had 10+ tabs of articles open.

There are many rules to maintain the independence of the SDIRA that you need to consider.  

The trade off of being independent is the financial world does not trust in your ability to be successful.

As for cash, I'm a fan of lean budgets for maximum savings every month, because it will help you reach financial independence that much faster.

You could get a small rental in possibly Independence, Raytown, or south Kansas City for $50,000.
