in my opinion, there are some things you can do yourself like demo, clearing landscaping, and throughout the job you can spot small areas to contribute, but any finish work that'll be visible to buyer should be done with skilled, trained hands. 

If you market and no one is trained to properly answer calls and respond to objections, your marketing dollars are being wasted.

I am kind of trained to expect the worst at this point!!

I just think if you hire a PM and expect them to train you, not manage your properties, you will end up very frustrated and disappointed.    

Has anyone here actually had the hands on training from Tony Youngs?

They're good at selling training, but never seems to be specific to your sale.   

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Connecting with a 203k consultant and certified contractor can also help expand your contacts in the industry and give you some training wheels for what can normally be a complicated process.Feel free to reach out anytime you have questions.

I do have a solid contact for POSSIBLY training as a home inspector when the time comes.My mother passed away this year :(, and I have received a $20k inheritance so far, with $100k-$150k more in the works, but it will likely be several more months. 

@Nathan RaisbeckTo add to the above, the licensure time maybe short, but the on the job training is significant, for both.For a real estate license, the coursework basically covers legal and regulatory stuff.
