I truly envy your skills in construction - they will be invaluable in REI.Do you have any tips on learning basic home improvement / handy-person skills? 

Simply because I feel my people and negotiating skills could easily be transformed and work to an extreme advantage in this field of the real estate market!

Well this gives me hope for my examining skills because I thought the same things through the pictures about what needs to be done.

I believe that I have the skills and the team to help many investors make money.

Before hearing/researching this angle, I was pretty gung-ho on accomplishing/refining the wholesaling technique in investing before others.If I plan to be trained and sponsored by the Keller Williams firm, should I realistically  give up hopes on developing proficient wholesaling skills?

I have strong communication skills and a lot of sales experience due to my printing and solar business.

Where did you learn the skills needed to do rehabs/flips?

I am now trying to get back in the game and utilize the skills and experience I have to rebuild my portfolio and to start rehabbing again which is my passion.I would want to hear from anyone who has any leads on properties that are for sale, any reports that I can review for Marketing: probate, divorce, pre-foreclosures, foreclosures etc. 

Everyone has a different skill set, so be careful with any advice you get.  

my rule, others may say otherwise but I'm not in the volume game, real estate is my current Business, and I prefer quality over quantity.....just fits my style best.
