That combined with tactical empathy are extremely powerful skills to have.

Drive motivated traffic to the website and you are done.If I were you I would use your skills to come up with something TRULY groundbreaking in this industry.But yes..

Let me tell you something, in the field of engineering science or medical fields this does not fly!

If you're willing to go out and sharpen your skills at finding properties, understanding their inherent values, negotiating with sellers and prospective buyers, and bringing deals to close then you can help guys like me in your market achieve our goals. 

I really can't emphasize how important this deeper, more focused understanding of the property is if you intend to leverage your handyman skills, build a hands-on portfolio, and reap the significantly increased benefits of locally investing in this kind of real estate over the long haul.

But not everyone can make a 300K a year W2 income, it took a lot of education and certifications as well as skills to build that so I'm going to grind it out until I can't anymore.

Same with these investor clients who bought an investment in Aurora, just east of Denver and are renting by the room to medical professionals and are cash-flowing pretty well for a market like Denver.We see a lot of buyers who want a little more privacy finding homes with that basement apartment or at least a basement with a separate entrance.

Other than that, you can look at finding a skilled handyman that can cover most things.

I know a very very very important skill is being able to title/lien search on the properties.
