Hi Everybody,
I heard about this website a few weeks ago. After listening to several Podcasts I have decided to join.
I currently have a 9-5 job as a Software Developer and I was just looking for a new hobby that may also bring in some supplemental income. In my opinion, I am at a serious disadvantage for the following reasons:
1. I have little spare money (enough to be dangerous but not enough to cover a down payment).
2. I have no rehab skills.
3. I have no property management skills/temperment (I'd used a Property Management service)
4. I have very little marketing skills/ambition (I will have to rely on Whole sellers).
My only skill I have currently is the willingness to take a risk.
Is it possible for me to succeed or should I just choose a new hobby? :)

@Jason D. Weeks, this is fine as long as you are willing to work on each one of these skills everyday. It's definitely not impossible, it almost feels like studying Computer Science. Eventually everything will all click.
