1 Share of the real estate investor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the foreclosure specialist profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A real estate investor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a foreclosure specialist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

banking activities
collect property financial information
compare property values
obtain financial information
perform property market research
property law

What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A real estate investor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a foreclosure specialist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held perform property market research information skills
already held value properties information skills
already held provide information on properties communication, collaboration and creativity
already held compare property values information skills
already held collect property financial information information skills
already held real estate market business, administration and law

All 10 carried skills, including the 8 the real estate investor role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
