Carpenter Training then Auction

[Joseph Abbott]

Hello All,

   My name is Joseph. I'm originally from Detroit, MI. However, my family and I have moved to Tulsa, OK just for a fresh start. I'm looking to get started in Real Estate, but I'm having a difficult time figuring out which way to go. Wholesaling Real Estate has also crossed my mind. My other option is to attend school to get trained in carpentry, electrical, masonry, etc. A local school has those skills I can learn. However, its looking like I have to change my shift at my job. With those skills I learned, I would use them to rehab a property. Anything I can do on my own, I will. Seeing that I don't have much money and my credit is not the best to purchase a property, I am looking at the Wayne County Property Tax Auction. The plan is to save approx. $5,000.00 to purchase a property and rehab it bit by bit. Also, I still have to consider I have my Wife, 4 kids and one on the way when putting this plan together. Please let me know your thoughts.
