What would be the best ways to familiarize myself with construction process, while still maintaining my W-2 job? 

@John Matthew Johnston 80% of the time, it's a thankless job:(You're never fast enough for complaining tenants, nor fast enough or cheap enough for owners.To have any chance of success, you have to be extremely organized, or every day starts with your hair on fire!

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Are you still working the 9-5 job or retired? 

The influx of tech jobs, manufacturing, mining, and Californians there is a strong population and combined with limited to no multifamily new construction we expect a severe housing shortage.

This is where people fly in, this is where jobs and internships are, and it's central to the entire Triangle.

Hey, awesome job building equity and renovating your place!

I was building a new laundromat in the best retail area of our town when our job site got its tools and copper robbed for the second time.

This job took us about 9-10 months if I remember correctly.

I acquire properties for my brokerage to wholesale so the software can help me in my job and personally.
