I am excited to get to know other investors, as I continue to grow in my knowledge and skills in real estate investing. 

Not many landlords buy their rentals this way. although with all the guru training many are trying and we will see how it all works out.it takes sales skill to talk people into deeding you their home.. this is a highly charged emotional situation..

You have a skillset that could be extremely useful for quick fixes and landlord issues and from there you can bridge relationships and partnerships to enhance your knowledge of real estate investing and couple your skills.

From using data to identify emerging markets to building tools that automate property analysis or management, your skills could really give you an edge.

I am not the most technical person but in this day and age, not being technical is even more reason to welcome opportunities to use platforms that help develop that skill. 

However, you need the temperament/skills to pull it off.

Quote from @Marc Winter: Of course, a skill like that is marketable! 

You can get around the by partnering with someone with PR and language skills.

The deal fell through because I couldn't line up the financing during COVID......God/Universe has a way of looking out for us...As investors, a crucial skill we develop is to take our emotions out of the situation/deal, but that is hard when we have invested a lot of time and money into a deal. 

A successful STR needs a good bit of cash upfront and if you’re doing a BRRRR then even more now for rehab.  100% financing everything and the rehab is not advisable unless you’re a very skilled and hands on STR investor.
