I know some of that is probably sales skills that I can work on. 

It is in the back corner of the stater bros plaza next to Black Belt Tae Kwon Do (martial arts studio).

I make a decent living and for the most part i enjoy the work i do (sales, project management, and some skilled labor). but with no room left for further advancement it is obvious to me that this company is not my vehicle to financial security let alone independence.

Sending good mailer's is a combination of art and science.  

Depends on your rehab skill level and risk tolerance.

My dream is to establish a place where the orphaned and fatherless could be given the opportunity to learn how to grow into godly men, both providing them the influence to live honorably and full of integrity, while also equipping them with everyday skills needed to break the cycle of brokeness they have previously experienced.

Money/access to money... handyman skills - sales skills - negotiation skills - or even just time.  

Am inclined to buy, hold and rent, with maybe a little rehab but at this point I don't have a lot of connections with skills. 

@Victor TokarevHi, it depends on your skill set for repairing properties, how comfortable you are working with others....etc.
