I am new and my navigational skills are lacking.

I am in the Houston, Tx area and have access to the Propstream app and would love to sharpen my deal finding skills by helping an establish investor find leads, while also learning more about the business. 

Taking on management with no skill set maintains the relationship, but it can turn bad really quick if you don't know what you're doing.

Learn effective property management and improve your skills in investing is the main goal with a first purchase. 

Dunning-Kruger effect - happens when a person's lack of knowledge and skills in a certain area cause them to overestimate their own competence.

I know a few contractors who are more skilled and higher paid than I ever was who won't even call people back if they ask for a cost breakdown because they have plenty of work and think that person will be difficult to work with.

Thats for a basic laborer , get someone with skill and its more . 

However this may conflict w/ the Skill Bridge program that I am doing in the last 6 months of my contract which stipulates that I will be separating afterwards.Note: Skill Bridge is a technical program that helps to transition service members into the civilian employment world by providing trainings for skills such as my program for Software Engineering.

This includes money, time, and skill.

Use skills you already have so they don't have to look over your shoulder at all. without a doubt your first step should be a brainstorm session on your Why and goals.
