I’ve been licensed in real estate in NY in the past, and have been in construction for almost a decade (finish/rough carpentry/painting).

The finish looks like glass and feels like butter (that finish will last).

It takes a lot of hard work, and you need to keep at it for a long time.I would recommend a good teacher/mentor, or a good start-to-finish guide. 

I just finished replacing the touch screen on an oven in one of my units.

Doesn't use property managers, but landlords it on their own.I'm finishing a book and included in it is interviews with successful investors from different strategies that dives into what that strategy really entails.

Investors are holding off on rehab projects because if contractors cannot finish the job (due to a mandatory shelter in place etc. or tightening of restrictions by local govt) then the project is 40% finished at a standstill, which is NOT a good situation.

One I am finishing up now is a better flip in my mind because I had to do a complete gut (seriously the only thing that didn't need repair was interior structure, foundation, and the pool). 

When I finish this book called "The Drunk Diet", it's going to be placed in the box of shared books in the refinery administration building. 

That left us with just 20 odd days to finish it which we did.

I am networking out to other local investors to partner up and tap into their capital spheres, anything to get to the finish line.
