My goal is to learn the sales skills and market knowledge on properties.Looking forward to learn something here!

I am hoping that some of these skills can crossover to this.

I do like to do my own work as I have the tools and skills but I don't feel bad hiring it out more and more as I can afford it either and I have other things to do.

@Isaac Frost  soft costs were tax's insurance utls closing costs I imagine.where do you factor in your cost of capital.. or when you say private investor. .did you have a cash partner. and he got paid out of the 131k profit. ?

Is so, then the matter isn't just limited to WC, there is the whole issue of unemployment insurance, matching social security, and other such soft costs that come into play.

I admire your ambition Patrick and it looks like you have a developed and growing skill set to be in the buy and hold landlord business...

I like wholesaling because it's a fun challenge and it's all about networking which is a skill I have. 

That is an ideal background for the property side, and if you handle customers all day, you may have many of the people skills down, too.

Both are very skilled at teaching these techniques.  

I want to thank everyone  for the soft nudges, tomatoes and paint balls.
