Depending on the scope of work to be done, I'm targeting projects between 30-90 days (SFH or multi) from purchase to listing, and need to put together a solid team on the ground that can get through multiple projects a year.I am hoping for some introductions to reliable and trustworthy contractors that have a great team of skilled labor partners to make everything run smoothly.

Your plan to live in and fix is a great way to start, if you have the skills, time and budgeted money, it's also an experience......how long have you been married?

Are you good at any handyman skills (plumbing, electrical, framing, etc)?

I currently live in Seattle and am an active investor around Washington.Specifically on Whidbey I own a 29 unit apartment complex, rental SFR, office building, medical office building, retail building, land for subdivision, SFR flip, and personal land that I plan to build my own home on in the future. 

Additionally, I want to acquire my first home with the skills I learn as an investor. 

My background as an ADA compliance manager for a major medical center affords me of knowledge that scares off the fakers and relieves those tenants that do have a qualified disability and the need for a service animal.The Federal Fair Housing Act is the most significant law that comes into play for housing providers.

I currently hold a full-time job that I do not enjoy, does not pay very much, and is not teaching me useful skills, real estate-related or otherwise.

It's definitely more cost effective than paying someone, assuming you have the skills to do it yourself and you have the ability to store furniture between rehabs.At one point, we had about 11 sets of furniture, which was good when we had a lot of projects going on. 

The more sensible path is to become a skilled salesperson, knock on doors of people who own property (or have a legal interest) and who have a problem they don't know how to solve and YOU DO!

It's what I give credit for all my skills to, Including office work, dealing with people, handy man-ness, etc.
