hello @Susana Quintero and welcome to BiggerpocketsPart time is a great way to start and as your skills(flips/landlording etc) improve and the income from deals/portfolio justify then one may consider the move to fulltime.there is alot to learn

Now I'm looking for my first place so I can put those skills to use (many many years later).

BP is a great place to learn and grow your real estate investment skills.

Learning how to manage correctly is a vital skill!  

I've owned and operated a small business and am ready to apply some of those skills to managing rental properties. 

Since you have decided to have an Carpet Cleaning Company come into your home, you need to decide what skills you will require of them before hiring them.

Will they usually allow you yourself to do some of the work ( as Long as they know you're history, and know that you have the skill set to do the work ) ?

As a construction professional for 13 years I have a unique set of skills that I hope will make me a successful real estate investor.Please get in touch with me if you are in the Harrisonburg area.  

However, I'd make certain the probate attorney was clear about this and skillful in how to draft the Petition for Final Distribution with this objective.

I really need to improve my negotiating skills.
