It needs a lot of time and money and skilled work Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Trade skills are lucrative these days, can easily lead to you building your own business, and will put you miles ahead when it comes to flips and rehabs on properties.

Now and then you get lucky and they've had a buyer cancel or not close, or they somehow get stuck with some inventory, but that is more luck than negotiation skill.   

Any review would be their cost of doing business.Realistically, if you have the experience, contractor resources, and skills to do the rehab, then borrowing money is your best bet.

Highlight your transferable skills, achievements, and education from your mentorship program to enhance credibility.2.

Bar owner skills, I guess?

This suggests that while the market remains robust, buyers are exercising their negotiation skills.

Every state has a unique set of laws and regulations regarding the foreclosure process, so your ability to succeed will depend largely on where you're operating.Also, all three of these require advanced skills and background, so I wouldn't necessarily start here.That said, if you do then be sure to get top-notch training and complete deal documentation from folks who have seen at least one full real estate cycle.Rather than specializing so soon in your real estate career, I would instead recommend just getting in front of as many real estate owners with problems.Just getting really good at talking (and listening!) 

Have you ever considered using your skills and industry knowledge to start your own fix and flip projects?
