Long term, my goal is to build the relationships and skills I need in order to create a property portfolio that will replace my current income and continue to grow.I have found the information on BiggerPockets very helpful so far (especially the podcast).

Perhaps you can buddy up with an experienced rehabber who will teach you the ropes in trade for your assistance would be a good way to start getting some experience.

I'm a single parent, and my professions are certified credit consultant, paralegal, private investigator(skip tracer), offline marketing consultant for business on and offline.I'm well known in the "Credit Restoration" space in east Texas and surrounding areas in getting one out of debt and increasing ones FICO Scores removing any of your inaccurate and unverifiable derogatory trade lines to receive more money for investments 4 real estate, etc., in which I have connections in getting some financing for that purpose.

I have skills to offer- Marketing skills, banking knowledge, sales skills, Ability to analyze investments, ect.

Minor things are probably fine, but I would highly recommend you avoid trading repairs for rent reductions.

I would basically be trading guaranteed improved cash flow now versus possible worse cash-flow in the future.I will not be spending cash-flow; all of that money will go towards additional RE deals and potential future maintenance in this property.I would definitely start low when purchasing this property.

Otherwise he makes the properties available as needed for licensed trades and inspections.We use tools like Google Drive, Buildium, Chase Quickpay, Camscanner, and lots of photographs to bridge the physical divide and work together remotelyI have to say that the market I work in is the area I originally grew up in, so this was not some maintenance group off the street but someone I had already known for years, but this process is working pretty well.  

The contractors' workers can't keep the doors closed while they are they because they are constantly carrying materials in and out and their English skills aren't good enough to be able to ask these people to leave.

I also have my preferred sources of education that I have invested in and can vouch for.Just remember the difference between a novice investor and a skilled investor; novices investors find deals, but smart investors not only find deals but can also create deals.
