Whether you choose to flip or explore other creative ways to build your portfolio, trust in your skills and knowledge—you’ve got this!

Thanks Drew, will do - though without direct experience, I'm hoping the skills I have gained in the finance industry along with having gone through the process to obtain a real estate license will be considered. 

I currently don't have the resources to make any investments just yet, so possibly a mentor or someone willing to teach me some of the skills needed.

Then you get down the rabbit hole of integrating platforms and automating your workflows which takes a lot of massaging and some technical skill. 

Or develop moneymaking skills I didn't know I had in me because I had to push myself?

A $10,000,000 property is inherently more complicated, needs a multiple of different skills to operate, has financing infinitely more complex than the $100,000 property.

It’s currently mostly passive income even though he has the skill for it.

Quote from @Josh Kinnebrew: What are your skills? 

Here’s a blog on investment analysis that I recently wrote if you’re interested. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-investment-analysis-for-any-asset-classBeing a good developer requires you to be good at at least one of these things: money or equity network, construction knowledge, architectural design experience, project management skills, and a broad network.

Do you have any specialized skills or knowledge that will give you an advantage?
