I will be searching mostly for fixer uppers so as to fully utilize my skill set as a contractor, but I have a lot of work to do to learn the ropes.I appreciate this opportunity to introduce myself and look forward to engaging with this community!!

I have the skills to do the work, I'm just not licensed.

Do you mean once I get the license and am looking for a place to hone my skills?

Once I joined forces with smart people with different skill sets, my business took off. many banks and hedge funds will sell one off to you if you know who to talk to and how to talk to them.I was fortunate to have that banking background where my phone would ring several times per day with real estate investors asking me to buy my REO.

I just wanted to introduce myself as a new user.I have always had a passion for real estate and am looking to strengthen my skill set.

I live in Milwaukee, WI. and I am very excited to meet both new and seasoned investors in order to learn, grow and share knowledge and skills.

You wasted no time putting those design skills to use..cool avatar @Aaron Mazzrillo haha wow you sure are the first to blast that idea!

Besides sourcing good deals to real estate syndicators you can bring specific skill sets to the table as well: Rehab/construction experience, marketing, design, property/asset management, cash flow improvement strategies, etc.

For example, I work with three plumbers... different price points, different skills, different levels of aggravation from zero to tolerable...

They can generally handle any other mundane data entry tasks regardless of their skill level.
