Then you take that list and see if there is crossover with some of the areas you are interested in and start there because you have a competitive advantage there (boots on the ground or knowledge).One last thing, don't discount your own enjoyment.

@Seth Rose Best if you have some boots on the ground team that can meet with contractors. 

However I now follow Larry McMillan's Daily Strategist Newsletter and it accomplishes the same thing for about $350/mo.None of this would have happened if I had left early like 80% of the people...and if i had not taked advantage of making note of the additional resources.On a side note I am still waiting on that "Free Camera" the Rich Dad team promised me for attending the weekend Boot Camp. :-)   

The investors that I work with value that we act as their boots on the ground for the transaction and normally use the equity gain to buy the next property.  

Use this experience to work out the kinks and build a strong boots on the ground team.

Instead, I recommend starting with turnkey properties while you build your local team and establish your boots on the ground.

To do with other ppls money, you need that personal relationship with the money source and then they have to trust you in terms of market research, boots on ground, analyzation, contracting, and exit sale. 

Lessons learned/things to avoidThank you again Whatever you do find a independent boots on the ground person that's not tied to the realtor, contractor etc

thank  you Laura -I do feel good about the compensation as they have been our only boots on the ground as we just can’t use “ friends” anymore ..I also found out that the $500 monthly fee is lifted once the place is rented and she goes to a much lower rate / hourly when things arise .I just thought it was a unique price structure and have never heard of things executed as such before .Thanks again for your reply-Christian

It'll take time to develop the boots on the ground but a good PM will help speed that up.
