You should upload a few before and after shots so people can see them here.

I know this may be a long shot, but I am very interested in stepping into real estate investing, either rental properties, flipping, etc. but no matter how many books or seminars I attend, I'm someone who learns best and feels most confident by hands on learning.

It's worth a shot!
