So I took my skills and went out and started my own RE business.

I am currently looking to purchase my first home with my wife next year, and during the initial research phase, I was introduced to the book Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene (I figured I'd learn some new skills to build wealth during COVID).

I don’t expect that he will do the work, but he can learn some skills/project management that could be beneficial in the future.

If you are in doubt of your skills in identifying potential issues be sure to use an excellent inspector who is familiar with the age of the property.

I am currently saving money for my first investment and while waiting, will continue teaching myself real estate investment skills through the BP podcasts and books.

I'm a school teacher in the middle of my first week of seeing students, so my analytical skills are shot!! 

I appreciated them for their services as they were so skilled in finding out the problem and fixing it for us the next day.

Currently 12-13 weeks into my first rehab and need a quality carpenter and other skilled laborers to close the deal out!

It is 100% a brain exercise and skill I plan on developing.

This will allow you to retain more money for reserves while learning the skills of being a landlord.
