I enjoy my job but always think about what I can do in the real estate field that would give me a pay check to survive as I only have two rentals, but will help speed up my networking and real estate skills (maybe a mortgage officer or property manager) Any ideas are great :) (I have a bachelors degree in business administration and a year away from my mba) if that helps?

Simply concentrate on FINDING notes (marketing is the #1 skill you need to develop in this business so, in my view, you're going to need to spend 90% of your time getting good at this) and, as long as you can develop quality leads, there will be a buyer for them that will take over from there and pay you a certain amount for the referral (as long as you go about this properly-- you follow the funder's protocol).

This is something you (or your PM) should talk about with the tenant, and it takes some soft skills to pull off.

You are doing the right things by learning and putting in the time after hours to sharpen your skills. 

First, learn the process which could be explained in these simple steps:Step 1: Market to motivated sellers Step 2: Sign purchase contract with the seller Step 3: Find cash buyerStep 4: Sign contract with cash buyer for a higher price and collect 2k deposit Step5: Close Transaction via Assignment or Double Closing and Collect your checkSecond, learn has much as possible about the 5 skills needed to be a Pro at wholesaling.

I think out of the business degrees you mentioned, business management would probably be the best since it would teach you skills around operations, people, and project management, which are all important in real estate investing.Real estate degrees would be good too, though those degrees tend to be more targeted from what I've seen (which could be good if you know what type of investing you want to do).A couple other degrees to consider: Civil Engineering, or Construction Management if you're interested in real estate development/rehab/contracting.

His quick thinking and great negotiation skills even got us to get some work done on the property at the seller’s expense.The most impressive and probably the rarest of the rare quality that Frank has is his great integrity and ethics.

Too many new comers come into this business and immediately try to go into another market when they haven't even picked up the skills and mechanics to learn their own market.

If you decide to continue investing in C class properties and areas, develop skills - focus on becoming great at running C class properties.Partnering is great, but get prepared for that also.
