Before diving into flips and STRs and investing in general, I would sit down and figure out what your skill sets are and where you can provide or bring value.

Noelle - SEO is a good skill to have. 

The CCR’s could include exterior aesthetics then go down the road of issuing warnings, fines, eventually lien and foreclosure if you need to (if your state allows that, mine recently limited the ability of HOAs to impose fines and place liens/ foreclose).

You can buy a new one brand name for around 300-700 dollars, depending on brand, and get it installed for $200, or do it yourself with some basic skills and youtube video.

I look forward to connecting with new people and developing my skills here.

They both take hard work, consistency, smart marketing, and good communication/organizational skills.

Two very different skills.

Learn what they're looking for and find it.Bonus: Finding opportunities and talking to sellers are the most valuable skills.

These are very beneficial investing skills.
