What skills do you bring to the table in operating a 92 unit complex? 

Electrical is a great skill Brian... as you know the mechanical trades are often the most costly on any project.  

I suspect anyone who has followed his program to get out of debt (including or sans mortgage) has probably, over the course of the journey, developed the financial skills and discernment to make reasonable leveraged real estate investments.  

That skill might not be useful in buying a house, but I'm sure I can leverage it one way or another.

Especially in the beginning when I'm taking it slow.Do you think it is worth the trouble to pick up the skills to be able to do my own work?

Would it be possible to network with experienced investors and offer my skills/trade as a way to get my foot in the door.

It depends on how the plumbing is layed out , and as far as is it a DIY , it depends on your skill

As above mentioned, I am currently the foreman for an small, but established Home Builder and Remodeler, and have been honing my skills and knowledge for the past year, and mustering up the courage to start my own remodeling and home improvement business.

Every time I go to Bandon I wish I had the skill to warrant playing there. 

I’m a 22 year-old from Chicago who is looking to obtain my Real Estate License as well as start investing in properties.I figured someone here has some information on what different skills can be extremely valuable to have if you want a successful real estate career, business, etc.
