Glenn Espinosa I am by no means talented enough or available enough to do rehabs!

Congrats for enlisting your current talents to parallel into RE.

It completely leaves things out like talent, business savvy, intelligence, personal choices and their consequences, etc.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

I'm not doubting your intelligence and talent here, but even the best investors I know had many years of "background" before jumping in "full time".

I would not be bond by ANY law...I would be VOLUNTEERING my time and talents for these families...now, unlike my PAYING clientele....I wouldn't think to ask these nonpaying families to be ever mindful of my nieghbors and the speed limits and their (and their childrens) noise level....what would be my insentive to do so??

Plans being worked up by my awesome and talented dad the general contractor.

Lots of talent and wit amongst the posters here.

I was surrounded by a rediculous amount of talent, knowledge & professionalism which allowed me to take massive action upon return.

Company's are always looking for talent so don't limit yourself.A co-worker once told me "you have to put in long hard hours because people who don't put in long hard hours are the first to be laid off in down times".
