Since some of my core construction and design team members will be moving with me, I will be able to quickly assemble a reliable team as @Kris Wong mentioned and can further reduce my learning curve by hiring a knowledgeable local real estate agent.

Howdy BP!!I'm sure this question can help out a lot of newbies as well!So I've been doing a lot of reading and just learning as much as I can about REI. A common theme I see is to pick a solid team. That's great! Howe...

Buy self-assembly IKEA cabinets, they are easy, clean and modern looking and super cheap.

Assemble ten people, each with $5,000- $10,000 to create a $50,000 to $100,000 kitty!

Certainly better than hunting for deals, assembling an out of state team of contractors and PMs.It's a real dilemma...

As soon as I got prequalified, he was able get us loan after loan like manufacturing on an assembly line. 

Now, a land assembly agent thinks that we could get $1.65M based on the current market for redevelopment to townhouses. 

So at the moment I’d posit you want to “assemble a team” because you read somewhere you need to “assemble a team”.

The first will likely be in my garage bar, assembling like-minded people to exchange ideas. 

My advice and what I like to do is to assemble my own team and find individual sub contractors and make a team of 4  guys, 1 painter/sheetrock worker, 1 carpenter for trim, doors and cabinets, etc, 1 guy with experience in plumbing and 1 with experience in electric connections. have 1 to take the lead in their trade and have the other 3 help him out.
