New guy building a team/ referrals

[Edward Hernandez]

Hi all!  Glad to join BP. I listen to the podcast often and have studied up a bit.  Now I'm looking to build up a team and fine tune my knowledge so I can get in the game and start acquiring property and building a portfolio.

I'm in San Antonio, TX and looking for referrals for general contractors, investor friendly realtors, hard money lenders, and private investors.

Have no experience, but good cred.

My assumption is to start with a few house flips first to build capital and then get into buy and holds. 

Let me know if you have any local referrals and/or suggestions on my game plan. And timing in the market? (inflation, interest rates going up, inventory, etc...)

Thanks!
