@Leonard Wade McMillan Do you have the time, hustle and skills to BRRRR? 

Use the time you'll need to get the money together to learn about personal finance, trim your budget, and start learning basic renovation skills, including what you need to do for your bathroom and your kitchen so that whoever you hire to do it doesn't rip you off.

Most people are not skilled enough to pick a good property manager, in my opinion, and will only realize they have a bad PM when it's too late to matter.

Although this past summer I partnered with some people including a neighbor of mine who is an AL admin, to offer $3.5M on an actual skilled nursing/AL center, we didn't win the bid though.

We will not use "handyman" services for any skilled trades anymore.

I work as a site supervisor for a general contractor so I have a ton of skills/ contacts for subcontractors needed to complete the rehab process.

If you are lacking in skills and network then you need to find  a great deal to bring to an experienced operator and partner with them.

It takes hard work and discipline, and some sacrifice to save money and these skills are very important for a Real Estate Investor. 

This is a great way to start because not only are you living very cheaply or for free in some cases, it is also giving you the knowledge and skills on how to be a landlord and deal with issues as they arise.

But it takes programming skills.
