@Chad Justice,Welcome Chad.You have indeed came to the right place to network,learn, and advance your REI career.When I started many moons ago I too knew some things about construction, trades, remodeling,ect.What I soon found out was that was just the tip of the iceberg.Done correctly REI is about a lot of moving parts.Finance,Law,Marketing,Research,Evaluation are just some of the things you need to educate yourself on toward the strategy you are interested in.
