DO NOT try and assemble your crew and line up your subs while you're trying to plan and build the house.

Assemble very detailed information about the offering, neighborhood, employers, target market, location, etc.

From http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/gacode/Default.asp which I got from the Georgia General Assembly website:TITLE 10.

If I were trying to assemble a house-flipping team, what kinds of specialists would I need?

I used the ones we have here, a couple I acquired from local investors, and some info from books on the topic to assemble mine, then had a lawyer review he.

Any niche depends on your market, learn the market, understand what can be done, then learn to adapt strategies that solve the problem.All real estate sales is about solving a problem, it might be the turning of inventory of a 5 billion dollar portfolio for liquidity or it could be selling some little old ladies home with her moving to a nursing home.Most all the investor residential deals will be about solving some problem, real estate is a very social business, it's not like Ford moving units off an assembly line out to dealers, it's an in your face, personal problem solving transaction every time, an individual seller always has a goal and a problem getting there. 

I agree with your points of trusting the team you are assembling.

And it forced me to assemble a team of reliable people in OKC who could handle the property for me.

Then I realized that Henry Ford didn't make his millions because he built a better car, he made his millions because of the assembly line...which is just a form of teamwork on steroids.

This will be a satellite operation for us so we will need to assemble an ENTIRE team and network of...Real Estate AgentsWholesalersGeneral ContractorsSubcontractorsOffice folksBail Bondsmen :)Other investors and people in "The Business" to network withWe will also be looking for an office space, something we can purchase and rehab, something live / work ideal, preferably something "LOFTY"
