@Nazz Wang Yes, when I had this realization I thought it'd probably be wise to get some hands on experience with someone pretty familiar with it all. I was actually thinking about joining a Habitat for Humanity team--then my educational experiences could help some other people too. Thoughts?

Hello all--new real estate investor in Washington. I am a lawyer currently on active duty with the Army. Although I have serious hands on expertise with construction (I can barely fix a faucet), I'm hoping I can leverage those VA loans and my legal expertise to make my investing a bit more profitable. I'd love to meet experienced investors in the area.

My ability to give back to the forums is limited, but I can answer any SCRA questions people might have.

Thanks!

Hi, I am a brand new investor with zero experience. In talking to and reading about those who have successfully invested, most seem to have a very firm knowledge of the principles of sound housing construction--seems like most were flippers first. I have no such knowledge and can barely fix a water faucet. 

Are these skills I should acquire before taking the plunge?
