hello , first time poster! 

So recently I finished my classes for real estate , and im getting ready to take the test. I found this podcast through a friend and its been a great motivator to make me want to not just get into representing buyers and sellers but also investing. Me and my fiance dont currently have enough money to invest in anything but I have been trying to practice crunching numbers and finding deals just so I have an idea on how to do it when I am ready to invest. But what im struggling with is determining how much repair a house is going to need? is this something that you develop a skill for after doing so many deals? who should I be asking about repairs and their costs, and also just knowing what needs to be upgraded or fixed.

You will have to develop the skill over time. For now, find a contractor skilled in this area and rely on his expertise.
