I'm thinking that the best way to get started is to assemble a small team so I can hit the ground running on *out of state buy and holds.

I can relate.Don't forget to write an "official" business plan, it will help explain your goals after you get to Florida and begin assembling your Rolodex of support infrastructure.We are a Brokerage of investors and do a large amount of HUD business all across Florida as we all work from home.We should talk...John Rogers

I am looking to assemble my team and I looked at different title companies around my area and very confused about all the different products they offer.

I second what @Dave Chapa mentioned about Apartment Buildings.If you can find one that has an Owner that just wants out, you can get some really good terms, price, or both.If you can find one that has been neglected and can assemble a good team, you should be able to get a really good ROI if you flip it in a year or two after bringing the property up to par or slightly above.  

Then I'll slip on my property management hat (Still learning and assembling a plan for this role) But I really do look forward to it!

I would say buy a rental and use to cash to reinvest and buy more rentals so by the time you retire you will have a nice money making machine assembled.

Just make sure the wall assembly is approved by the city.

I have used IKEA, HD and Lowes and I once used a flat-pack DIY assembly kitchen from a "Kitchen's To Go" type store.

Hi Friends,Having done almost every type of transaction in real estate for over 20 years, I'm going to be a great resource for connecting, assembling, sourcing, investing and funding deals.

I will try to assemble a team as far as contractors and lenders.
