When I think about rehabbing, financing, property management, and other aspects of the business, it can feel a bit disorganized.I may be getting ahead of myself here by thinking about documentation and systemization, but I'd like to have some kind of mental framework regarding how to think about the different aspects of real estate and how they relate to each other so that I can have a bit more structure in my thinking. 

I don't expect to find "the one" on the first meeting but I would like to lay some framework down or at least know who the big sharks are. 

When you become a repeat customer they'll help you navigate the framework of what you need to do.

Similar to a new gym-goer, I think it's necessary to start with the end in mind and ask ourselves some framework questions to have some form of direction.

@Roy BayA good framework for coming up with a plan and executing can come from Trevor Moawad's "It Takes What It Takes."

It will also originally serve to provide a framework to use in gathering and inputting the assumptions and quotes you ask for and receive from perceived informed parties.

I'm not a flipper by any means so I don't know the ins and outs of foundation and framework if it needs to replaced every now and then.

Make a framework that works.

First i would set up your framework for how you want to live, ex multiple tenants or 1 on 1. 

I've had employees work for me remotely, hourly, so it wouldn't bother me - but there has to be a pretty decent framework in place or a good system of accountability for you to be sure you're getting what you're paying for.
