As a new Realtor and someone who plans to buy and house hack many more multi-units in the future, I'm thinking about instead of using my GI Bill for a Masters, perhaps getting certified in multiple trades to further my education on electricity, plumbing, HVAC, and building.

added another bathroom, did nice finishes including soft close cabinets, recessed lights and desirable finishes in the master bathroom.

I’m a bit of a jack of all trades (master in none).

Your On The Market podcast about "Lock-In" got me thinking about this and my local market.We get a front-row seat to a real-life,unscripted Master Class on residential real estate supply and demand.I am a student, just as you are.

I would suggest that you take a toast masters course.

A bachelors degree doesn't go as far as it used to , so you'd need a masters, and if you went that route, id say its only good because you would have back up plan if things went badly.

Either get paid up front to assign the contract to someone else to do the deal, or partner with them and see the deal through till the end.Finding deals is hard, and getting them under contract is also difficult, but if you master these skills you can make good money and get experience in this industry.

Same with time....anywhere from 1 week to 6 months for a kitchen.The biggest bang for your buck is usually kitchen followed by master bath.

As I sat looking at the view from the window of my master bedroom, I couldn't help but ponder the benefits that being a landlord have given me.  

Full reno while the main focus was put into knocking a kitchen wall down, cabinets, granite counters, new flooring throughout, update handrails and walls that were dating the property for a more modern day look, new carpet in rooms, new vanities in bathrooms, glass & tiled shower in the master, redoing the deck outside, landscaping and the property does have a pool but we just patched pebbletec since the cost of pools in the Phoenix market is absurd right now.
