Though i love my job for the interpersonal and negotiating skills it has taught me, I have a goal to make December 2016 my last season. 

In addition to my direct experience in RE sales, I have a strong analytical/financial mindset build upon by years of trading in the financial markets (still active), I have a growing web/technical skill set ("nathanielrand.me" or "43sanibel.estate" to provide examples), and a strong blend of creative problem solving established through years of hard knocks.

I have a lot of skills I can use to help out with established investors and soak in the experience they've built over the years.

As I use my property management skills, I see myself as a Property Manager. 

Shane stayed with it like a bulldog, and kept working his account management skills to bring it back to life. 

If assessed value is a matter of public record that you can access then use your own data base to indicate to you when a property comes on the market, you might need computer programing skills or be able to have someone design such a program for you.

So here is my mission statement and vision statement. please be brutally honest about you think.Mission statementTo buy real estate that is in rough condition at a reduced price for the purpose of remodeling and selling for the largest profit possible.vision statementI use my construction knowledge, contracting skills and managerial skills to accomplish financial freedom in a profitable real estate business that allows me to do what I have a passion for.
