Do you have the skill set to flip?

The intersection between architecture and real estate development is where I have spent the past three years of my life, researching and designing in an academic setting, and now I am ready to put my skills and theories to the test. 

For maintenance we found a tenant living at our property that was very skilled and we paid him hourly on a contract basis for maintenance at our 32 unit. 

I am 59 years old now and I found BP about a year ago while medically recovering.My father has been in real estate buys and sells for about 45 years and he has taught me a little bit.  

Not only is the money good, I'd pick up essential salesman and negotiation skills taking it serious.But appreciate the reply, hopefully I have some property under my belt this time next year.One more thing, did you use any business entities for asset protection on your property?

I am great at managing people I work in HR I feel I have great communication and organizational skills to bring to the table. 

I currently work in the medical field, but I want to start investing by years end.

Sounds like you already have much more skill and experience at your disposal than the average investor does getting started.

So performance for now is really, in my opinion, not very indicative of anything except the skill or lack thereof of being able to make sure they don’t lose money from stupid mistakes and/or get enough volume without hurting their lending standards.

In turn, I will develop skills so I can contribute back.
