Building a Team

[Mandy F]

I'm starting to read up on REI and the first step the resources say is to build a team.

People like lenders, accountants, title companies, appraisers, etc. are all important parts to the process. The two that seems to be the foundation are the mentor & real estate agent.

I am wondering what you recommend to find these 2 cornerstone people and stories of you have done.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the input, LONNIE. I've made a couple phone calls to local REI clubs and am waiting to hear back.
