My goal is to buy and hold multifamily properties in the area and I am working to assemble a team of professionals that are experienced in multifamily investments.

To assemble properties or change the highest and best use can be complicating and take time and patience and money but the rewards can also be great.

I nearly have my team assembled for my first "flip," but would much rather turn it into the BRRRR strategy.

It requires a significant team in place and that in itself is tough to assemble from a distance, but I acknowledge it can be done.  

Once this is done and the two parcels are assembled, there is now a 6 acre property.

I would say the key is to assemble your team BEFORE you invest. 

I wrote a book about my experience as real estate investor and how I recruited a team to 1) launch a business in a new country and 2) assemble a partnership to develop new build sites.

It's a bit cheesy as it tends to attract would-be investigators as well as licensed folks, but the advertisements will give you great insight into assembling your team.Also, I could write an an entire book chapter on how to use and manage PI's as they can run up the billing meter easily and quickly with wasteful time spent tracking down the wrong people and mission creep.Lastly, if you're smart about this, you'll discover that the real money is made spending money that others won't spend.

Therefore, I suggest that you assemble a team of partners who can help you do due diligence and negotiate, whether for pay or for a percentage of the property (maybe they contribute capital as well).Team Roles: Accounting/Financials, Property Management (or managing the manager), Renovations/Construction, Leasing/Marketing, Coordinating Mortgages/Refinances, Raising Capital/Investor Relations, Deal Finding/Acquisitions/Negotiations, Legal/Insurance - the same person can play multiple roles.After you have your team, you should feel confident moving forward.
