Although not as good as the past-the Union can present excellent opportunities to learn---and may again be lucrative when you reach that point.. In the meantime- if you see someone working on something-ask if they need help cleaning up---this can put a couple bucks in your pocket---and most guys enjoy and appreciate a kid that asks questions and shows signs of mechanical ability and are glad to show you around...Who knows where this market will be when your time comes ? but the most success-full people in real estate are those that if not able to do there own work as least have a through understanding of building and individual trades....Good Luck To You !!

Those are all great skills to have. You can buy foreclosed houses, fix them up, and re-sell them for a profit. This can be your full-time job, even. You won't have to go to college. But you will need capital to buy your first house. It has to be cash, because no bank will give you a mortgage without a steady job. The good part is, that it doesn't have to be a good real estate market for this to work. In fact, I prefer the current one, because prices are low, so you don't have to invest as much money to buy the house. If you walk away with $20,000 profit on a house, what's the difference whether you pay $40k, spend $20k for repairs, then sell for $100k (current market), or you pay $70k for the same house and re-sell for $130k? People like lower priced homes. Absolutely! Those are all great skills to have. You can buy foreclosed houses, fix them up, and re-sell them for a profit. This can be your full-time job, even.

Building, carpentry etc. are good skills. plumbing, and electrician, require some intense training. Look into vocational school, if that's what you want to do. Maybe you could find some part time work with a contractor.. and start learning with him. You may find that you would rather be doing something else. Yes we are all hoping that the Real Estate market will rebound in a few years. Your idea is not too far fetched.
