@Kevin Phu I am an Aegis Fire controlman, moving towards working in the medical field fixing linear accelerators for Varian.

Hopefully after I've assigned a contract I'll have built enough of a relationship with the buyer that maybe they'll let me watch or observe what and how they do with the house after they buy it from me, maybe even act as a semi - quasi project manager so I could learn some skills to apply toward my own investing.

You also must consider your understanding of the intricacies of managing a property yourself and whether you have the skills to manage a manager.Do you know anything about property maintenance, are you at all experienced or handy with tools. do you understand the functions of the different buildings trades, do you know the costs associated with the trades.If you have not been hands on involved in managing your own property it is extremely difficult to manage a property manager.

the necessary repairs are as follows:  water heater missing, furnace looks old. paint all rooms, new flooring needed in most rooms, ( something i can do myself), recondition kitchen, replace entry doors. the house already has a newer roof and newer vinyl siding, virtually no work necessary on the outside. given my rehab skills, nothing will need to be contracted out, so i am able to save a tremendous amount of money on the rehab, which is why the following rehab number is so low.

There are other bonuses to hiring a spouse for your business such as the ability to open a Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan.

I really wanted to get an investment started before I continue on in my medical career so I saved up money and just purchased my first investment rental property.  

More than 15 years of experience in an international customer service environment.My goal is to constantly improve my skills and knowledge of the real estate industry, particularly in sales, where extensive experience and expertise can be utilised.

But anyways, it is about personal growth and knowing what skills and values you bring to the world.

I'm not sure if our skills/experience are complementary or redundant but would be happy to make your acquaintance and see if we can be of help to each other.  

We have a thriving medical and cyber security industry with a lot of big name Defense Contractors in the area (Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, etc.)Stop ignoring real estate investors here, you're losing money if you continue to do so!
