If you have the raw materials of a good deal take it to someone who already has the skills and funds to execute it.

Then do find a mentor that teaches that skill and learn all you can.Good Luck,

As of right now I work on the electronics portion of our fighter jets so I've got some great problem solving skills under my belt.

My current background is in social work and so I'm looking forward to using my skill set that I already possess in connecting with tenants.

I recommend identifying some of the skills you possess that are transferable to the real estate industry/business.

Maybe more soft skills could have brought you more time, and closing skills could have got the buyer to say yes.My motto at my telemarketing day job when a sale goes bad is "some will, some won't , who cares, next call!

And ofcourse advantages to paying them off faster was also that I could get loans from banks easily, since I am a newcomer to this world and really don't have any creative financing skills right now. 

Im willing to trade labor skills for knowledge or some cash capital to invest with any of the season veterans down in my area.

*This is my first non-introductory discussion post so have patience*I've been practicing my skills of looking for deals in the OKC metro area.  

I look forward to learning from each and everyone of you while also contributing my knowledge and skill set.
