totally learning as much as I can from others cuz I am still young and don't need much money for now all I can and want to do is that absorbing knoledge and skills from the peoples like you who already doing it but I do wanna stand on my own one day and run my own business.

If you have some house skills, that helps, but when you go out looking for partners it usually means money and people don't want to get that vibe in their first conversation.

The point is that the hardest skill to learn is marketing for deals.

There is no shortage of people getting into Sub to's that do not know how or trying to make a buck without knowing the risk.If you worked for a servicer (Wells Fargo, Chase etc.) which all they do is collect funds and do not own the loan, and you went to your boss and said I am going to foreclose on these preforming loans because the deed changed names, I would guess you would no longer work for the Servicer any longer, remember the person who invest in the hedge funds is just looking for a long term return on their investment they can care less who is making the payment, just want the payment to be preforming.But if the uneducated investor did not do your insurance correct, or did not work with the seller to make sure they are not the one who the Servicer calls with questions or the seller is lead to believe his or her name will be off the loan, or the investor just does not respond to any question the servicer has, all can go bad in a hurry.I talk to Servicers often, they are just looking for comfort and communication. 

Are you saying you have superior skills to make this scheme work?

I currently live in Toledo, where I’m working on a live-in flip with my duplex.Here’s what I bring to the table:Hands-on experience with construction and property maintenance.Knowledge and skills for value-add projects, especially on smaller properties.A passion for learning and growing my portfolio using strategies like buy-and-hold and BRRRR.I’m looking to connect with:Local investors in the Toledo area who can share insights or collaborate.Contractors, property managers, and other real estate professionals.Anyone interested in sharing ideas, advice, or potential partnerships.If you’re in or near Toledo and would like to connect, feel free to reach out!

Anyway, you mention you've "developed a strong foundation in market analysis, design, and project management", which are all important in the development space.My question, what areas do you feel you are lacking and are either trying to develop those skills yourself, or you'd prefer to bring someone onto your "team" that would provide that expertise? 

its a skill set ...

Start small with a property within your budget and skill set, using HELOC for funding.

Unless you are a seasoned real estate investor with professional title searching skills, I wouldn't do this.
