Be in it for the long haul, make it a part of you, yes, it will help you in all facets of life!

I thought I'd come to you directly before posting in the Forums.This question is multi-faceted.

@Angelina R martinez @Jay Hinrichs @James HellerHi Angelina, wholesaling is one facet of real estate investing.I’m now actively wholesaling after acquiring a portfolio of buy and hold rentals.Wholesaling is not easy, you’ll have to talk to many, many people.

Do you own all facets of the operation?

You have to get more granular in all facets of underwriting.

@Tim Vitale Takes a lot of time and persistence that's for sure!

Maintenance,preventive maintenance has caught my attention.Although I can't become specialized in all of them (it requires continous learning) ,what I learn I implement at my job .My daily chores are:-repairs (light electrical work,light plumbing work, patching the flat roof,drywall repairs,sheetrock repairs,etc)-maintenance (painting, cleaning,light labdscaping)-preventive maintenance on pumps,tanks,gears that are vital to the daily property operations-find ways to increase heating efficiency and lower the cost at the same time-find ways to lower water consumption in the building and energy (electric and gas) consumption-increase the buildings occupants comfort-increase the NOI for the landlord-collect the rent-resolve tenants issues-basic inspection (I look for air leaks, gas leaks,water leaks) (of course a property inspector has much more skill in doind that than me)All of that brings me joy in my life, but it doesn't bring a high income (because I don't have a specialized skill)So I would love to find a way to acquire a property and put my skills into my properties.Thank you for answering, John

You’re Right, that is a vital piece of information I left out.

I would need 100% money for all facets of the project.

I keep hearing that in order to learn faster and make sure I don't make the same mistakes that a mentor is vital or at least preferred.
