Tips on Assembling a Team
Hello BP,
I'm new to real estate investment, but am looking to start my first BRRRR on a single family home in the Denver area. I'm loving absorbing all the info this community has to offer, but am wondering what tips people have on who to assemble in their team first.
Real estate Agent first?
Local Builder/Contractor/Handyman first or second?
Then lender? Or should lender be the first piece of the puzzle?
Want to move relatively quickly on this property and am open to creative financing but am thinking portfolio loan. Knowing this, any feedback on how I should go about assembling a team?
Thank you!

Hi Harrison, get your name out there- go to your local investment group meetups, network on biggerpockets and on social media, do your research via books, biggerpockets, podcasts, etc. so that you know your stuff, and then reach out to agents, other investors, and lenders via cold calling or through email. Your network is your net worth, so make it your goal to do your homework and simultaneously meet as many people as you can!
