Building a Team and Systems

[Jordan Barnes]

Hey everyone, 

I have just finalized my first partnership and we are going to be looking for multi family homes. I currently have one SFH that I self manage and haven't needed to give much attention to, so I never built a team (new construction, B+ property and tenants, etc). I have read all the BP books but I am curious as to real life experience of other investors not named than Brandon and David lol.

We will be targeting distressed properties, and our agent (who is a stud) gave some suggestions on where to start but I wanted to get your take as well! 

Who was the first person after your agent you got on your team and why? 

And what is the system you used to find your deal, and get it ready? targeting in on a market, price to rent ratio, rough estimates on scope of work, etc? 

All insight is appreciated and I am so excited for this journey! If anyone in Seattle wants to connect please reach out!
