Newbie Getting Ducks in a Line: RE Team questions

[Michael Scrogan]

Hello BiggerPockets People,

I am in the initial stages of planning and doing all the research I can by reading everything I can. My plan is to buy my first rental property in the next 2-3 Months. 

In reading Dorkin and Turner's book How to Invest in Real Estate I have questions about the team when getting the ducks in a row. Two of the team members I didn't think about connecting with before reading this chapter and I am curious if I am from Colorado but plan on Investing in Texas would it be better to have an accountant and RE Lawyer in Texas or in Colorado? Or do I need one in each state... Or do they sometimes work in multiple states and I need to find one with CO/TX expertise.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
