I am 21 years old and i have become to seriously think about real estate investing as something that i could seriously do to reach my goals of becoming financially independent and to one day be able to create an income that is going to allow me to raise a family. 

Is it an independent contractor agreement or another words the bird dog contract.Or am I entering into a Join Venture agreement.I don't think so but some how I got confused by the 2.

For example, one of my new mentors here had a goal of a specific dollar amount to achieve monthly, to create their financial independence.  

Do some marketing and networking, talk to friends family neighbors relatives and let them know what you are trying to do. find some deals that will cash flow for you. having several of those is the only way that you will move forward with your financial Independence.

@Roger Covin I'm not an attorney or accountant but I'd encourage you to get them on independent contractor agreements. 

If you want an investment property, just do it independently.

I was advised to look into more independent offices for the flexibility.My buddy's deals are usually 3-6 month processes but also typically 3-5 times the average value of a single family home.

I will continue to act as an agent, buy, sell, and rent real estate until I am financially independent. 

Especially those in the Lees Summit, Blue Springs, Independence area.  

Contact an independent agent or broker who knows rentals - They will be able to help you.
