I've been to a couple of REIA meetings in my area, but now the I know the landscape around investing a little better I think I'll be a lot more successful.Right now I think the most important thing for me is education.  

It is very likely that you will find the same demand across the civilian demographic, too, for example teachers, policemen, firemen. 

I put in the new sash window kits, painted the deck, landscaped the yard.

I'd like to meet folks that have been involved in flips, builds, etc. and can help me to navigate the landscape. 

As someone who owns a landscape and snow removal business, this business has been around for about two years now.

The house is ~2,000 sq ft and needs a lot of cosmetic stuff done: painting, floor installation, dry wall repair, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, possible siding work, and some landscaping. 

The house needs new carpet and tile, appliances, paint, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and counters, exterior paint job, and light landscaping.
