I have already applied my skills and have been doing extensive research.

Hybrid (get a mentor, make a plan and then use a team)It truly depends on what your goals are, what strategy you want to utilize, what your resources are (knowledge, time, money, credit, skills, etc). 

Very skilled in what you need.

I have some skill sets and looking to learn others.

While it’s clear that I stand to gain a wealth of experience and skills, you will gain a colleague with a hunger to learn and an eager desire to aid you in your undertakings.

Therefore, I do have a solid knowledge of construction and this project was a great development and test of my skills.

But your computer skills need some help. 

The difference is the time involved in learning the skill and in the project itself, the quality of the results, and the cost.

The reality is, working with investors often requires more skill, time and effort than with a regular buyerI have bought a lot of "not perfect deals" in my career, usually I paid more than I wanted to(duh!)

It depends upon your goals, objectives, investment parameters, skill set, etc.
