New Orleans' Newbie looking to build a team

[Anthony Pierre]

Hello Everyone!!

I am a Newbie located in New Orleans... After reading "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner, reading some forums, and listening to the BP Podcasts; I've realized that having a solid team will help me become a successful investor. In terms of building this team, a suggestion was made that I should have a good team before going into deals. So here I am, asking for advice on how to go about building this team.

Having a mentor, real estate agent, and a lawyer seems to be the first teammates I should strive for.

Thank you in advance.
