I am a local Realtor and I work with an amazing team of lenders, title companies, and contractors.

Instead of putting your whole venture at risk through a single partner, I suggest you build a team of employees and develop solid succession planning.

I got the call from Pace's team and they made it really enticing to join, even for $10,000.

So, my teams two ways of "wholesaling" is: 1.

I think if you can nail that down you will be able to find a market easier.As a buy and hold investor some of the things that were important to me when deciding on a market were landlord tenant laws, price to rent ratio, housing demand, ability to build a team, large population 500K plus, multi-family availability and some other factors.take the process step by step and you will be fine. 

I plan on managing these myself until I get to a threshold that makes sense to pay someone on my Realty Team to take over property management.Yes, he is willing to do 6% for 10 years with 50% down.

I have been on board with an all military affiliated team with Coldwell Banker Vanguard;The Military Group for about a year.

For example the (first) 1007 comes back and he shares with me he is going to review it with his team and call me...

I have investors who never saw their property in person for almost a whole year or more because they have the right team in place.

Here is one recommendation as you begin your REI journey.Make sure to have your team around you before you start, or as Brandon Turner from the BP podcast calls it, your CORE4.
