My day job is an equity analyst so I believe I can leverage some of that skill set in real estate, and believe that real estate is an attractive investment at this time.

For someone who claims to have critical thinking skills and the ability to parse truth from verbiage, I'd think you'd want to actually read the comments you are rebutting...But, you probably learn your debate skills from the likes of Glenn "The Rapist" Beck and Rush "The Druggie" Limbaugh, and figure that listening to the other side would only make your argument weaker, so why bother...

In other words you don’t have a clue what I am bringing to the table and how much work I put in on this. and with my negotiating skills the buyer will probably get a better deal with me.. even after I CARVE out my deserving cut.

I always figured anything in that price range would require a lot of construction knowledge to rehab (I have zero construction skills, although I have painted a couple houses).

We split up the tasks based on our skills and abilities, and everything seems to work out great.

Negotiating with the banks asset managers takes some specialized skills and knowledge.

This will be adding a new dimension to our skill sets.

Lock picking is a skill and art and even the same brand lock with a different pin set will take a different amount of time to pick.

The good and bad about my rental was initially I had the intention of flipping so the property is completely renovated and should not need much in maintance.I am forming a serious plan of attack for my 2nd SFR and have 2-3 things i need to master atm.I m trying to utilize my current skill set/contacts which is construction(i can rehab anything w/ my guys), however i lack the skills needed to find better deals on my own.

What are you most interested in and what skills do you have?
