I didn't really do a good job negotiating...looking to improve my skills.

Seems a male, female, LGBTQ or maybe even an animal with great communication skills and valuable perspective might be just as useful to you, no?

Especially if I had your skills, @Paul Sandhu  New sheets, mattresses, towels, couches, etc.

However, both us come from strong organizational management backgrounds and I often joke that my fiancee has enough skills to breeze through a GC test.

@John PelaezThe local community college will run a lot of courses on basic trade skills and basic property upkeep.

You need to make yourself resourceful to get help from skilled experts.

It sounded good to me too until I learned the terrible truth : 99.9999% of tenants don’t have the time ,skill ,or resources to pick their own nose much less to repairs or rehab work .

Even if you don't have handyman skills, much of renovating a property is grunt work like washing walls and floors, painting, cleaning windows, caulking, scrubbing grime off tubs and sinks, polishing faucets, and so forth.

Classes teach you more about law and ethics (so you don't get in trouble), but no class is going to teach you the business skills needed to be a self-motivated, self-employed salesperson. 

That's another skill you can outsource to a service provider.
