Diversify your Power Team?

[Bridgette Smith]

I''m beginning to start working on building out my 'Power Team' (REI attorney, REI friendly realtor, Property Mgmt., etc.). In some preliminary discussions I had, in particular with attorneys, they have pointed to the ability to use them as a resource to connect to other Team members. For example, either in-house or through direct relationship, I could rely on them for realtor, property management, mortgage broker, etc. I am curious to know how others have built out their teams and if you usually try to consolidate this (finding all other Team members through a central connection) or look to diversify so as not to have all your eggs in one basket (in the event something goes sour with the central connection)?
