Hawaii based REI's, please reach out and should you need someone that is MOTIVATED to assist you with anything other than just reading material after material with no movement as of yet, that'll be me.With no experience, anything that is going to at least initiate some action on my part would be HUGE...anyone need a helping hand or could someone with excellent interpersonal communication skills, an infectious personality, humility, and aptitude for developing and learning new skills...please feel to reach out...aloha!

I am not quite ready to pull any triggers but would love to practice my analysis skills for when I am ready.

I certainly  am open and available to give any time/skills/knowledge/connections I have in return.  

What skills would they need to bring to the table or what problems could they help you solve to be a worthwhile member of your team?

You might try odesk for a virtual assistant, which could be less expensive and help you to clarify what you really need in an admin.What is most important to me is that they have the skills I do not have.

There are a lot of variables, of course.The next argument in favor of starting out this way is to give you a chance to groom your skills as property manager, if desired, and develop and improve systems for easy management.

My father has a few rental properties himself so I should be able to use his skills there to help myself out too. 

Lots of folks looking for mentors are unwilling to give them anything.

It would feel really good to use my process development and project management skills to improve my OWN business, rather than just helping another big company grow bigger.

After  five (5) months the house has had plenty of exposure using this agents skills, however.
