I am most interested in flipping and think some of my skill sets such as managing large projects in my career and a decent knowledge of construction lend itself to this tactic.

Another tactic would be to invest in a fund that has residential debt as its primary asset class, this way you are a passive investor along side other investors and your funds are spread across multiple assets which helps to spread out the risk.

And it will give you some ideas of how the system works, legal tactics to use, and whether your local judges lean toward enforcement or tenant advocacy. 

I would advise that you find a company that doesn’t use high pressure sales tactics and that allows for an appraisal contingency.

What are some good tactics or bussiness strategy that you may recommend?

Use caution in this approach.. like all of these guru tactics they sound great but can be disasters in practice.

and any advice on training or communication tactics? 

As far as a tactic to look at for maximum growth I (some random guy on the internet) would recomend maxing out on the BRRRRR strategy.  

The BRRRR tactic. 

It should  hopefully give me a few pointers on strategies to combat predatory pricing tactics aimed at long distance investors.
