Assembling the dream team now!

I'll start screening to assemble that team, and then move on to execution.Again, thank you very much for the input and recommendation!

@Nate Truxel yes this is too much for a first time investor unless... you have assembled a team of professionals.  

Improve technology, install security, better operations for the tenants, assemble a portfolio for sale to a institutional buyer What was the outcome?

I think this book is one of the best walk-throughs new investors on how to build and execute on a strategy: https://www.amazon.com/Book-Re...If you read through the table of contents, it's basically a recipe book for figuring out how you want to pursue real estate investing: (i) define goals; (ii) assemble and get buy-in from your team; (iii) choosing a business strategy/niche; (iv) picking a location; (v) finding deals; (vi) closing deals; (vii) financing; (viii) managing properties; (ix) exit strategies.Good luck, and remember that persistence is probably the most important single attribute in this business, so stick with it.

Prior to my current role, I assembled small parcels for developers to acquire and entitle.

OPTION #1 - SELF MANAGING consists of taking the time to build a lean team, which isn't that challenging to do but requires you to put the right people together, again doesn't have to take long, you can assemble these pieces in less than a month.

Almost all of the online furniture required assembly, which takes someone being there for delivery, handling huge heavy boxes sometimes up stairs, and the time to put it together, so think about what that time adds to your costs. 

In the current competitive environment you will not have time to assemble that team after you find a property.

If you have done it before you can handle it yourself (still need to assemble a team), but if you haven't before I would suggest getting a manager familiar with the area.
