It is that easy to gain more knowledge and be more skilled when it comes to the real estate industry.

Once you have the money and the skill set to renovate or handle distressed properties how do you move to expand.

I am reading and learning regularly here on BP, hoping to make some contacts with experience or skills I can learn from first hand.  

I am very skilled in most all of the trades.

You could have a high income earner who just blows money or doesn't have any organizational skills.

Because of this, my DYI skills are insufficient for self-installation (plus I can't pull my own permit for the work anyway), so I will end up with at least TWICE the cost of a regular water heater, but really more like 3-4 times as high.  

You work with lots of end buyers, try to use this skill of yours (paying attention to detail) to work with investors and help them out with maybe seeing things that they don't.

I (me, with my little girly skills) replaced the corner outlet with a 4 USB outlet.

I've bought a couple houses on my own now, but I like the idea of having a group of people with aligned interests and varied skills.

I've begun my real estate investor journey and am currently working on my property analysis technique/skills.
