I cannot think of a more socially responsible enterprise than real estate investing in general, and the Bigger Pockets community in particular.Look at the post topics -- for the most part they are questions from young entrepreneurs working their butts off evenings and weekends (after their W-2 jobs) to build a sustainable financial future for themselves and their families.  

Great idea to get your financial house in order before (literally) buying more houses.If I had to generalize 3 basic skills a good real estate investor should have (or try to improve), they would be:1) Property Skills: Broadly defined as knowing a bit about everything from the market to basic construction processes, finishes, handy skills, maintenance, what to look for (and look out for) etc.2) People Skills: If you can't work productively with contractors, tenants, lenders, realtors, etc, it can limit your success and longevity in any enterprise (be it flips or buy and holds).
