I actually would like to follow this path as well. I don't know much about renovating houses, however I am looking at 'working' at a habitat for humanity project to learn to ins and outs of construction. I then plan to work construction part time in my days off, and learn even more. If I can scrape up enough to purcahse a slightly rundown house in the next few years I would like to renovate it and use the extra $$ to purcahse another, etc. etc. In fact, my long term goal would be to work for an airline, stay on reserve, and use the time off to renovate. I personally like the option of guaranteed income coming in, even if it's not much.
