Some of the things I know I lack are construction knowledge, live hands on experience on a project, and proper financing techniques..Any advice on the right way to go about this or If anyone Is Interested In chattIng let me know!

Everything else, any motivators and techniques you pick up and employ to increase or 10X your life and productivity are a bonus. 

After a little time to relax and enjoy our new house, we decided to begin real estate investing.
