I now have a full team with property management and contractors in place. 

Any contacts in setting a good team of contractors (general purpose) and cleaners? 

Our team buys the properties and converts them and manages them so it has been a great learning experience seeing all three phases from taking down a project, renovating the building then managing the lease up.

Based on some of the previous similar threads, it seems that having a good cross-border team is a crucial step in this game.

Build a team with all that time in the morning and and the time you have by walking up early etc. 

Hey Themis, it sounds like you already have a solid foundation in real estate from working in the commercial industry, so it should be a pretty smooth transition into doing your own investments.I would put a lot of focus on building out your team of contractors.

Navigating property management in the U.S. has been a bit of a learning curve as I am looking to build a good team.

A strong team can streamline processes and reduce headaches.Expand Knowledge: Podcasts and forums like BiggerPockets are great tools.

Your focus on the Dallas market and Fix and Flip projects sounds solid, especially with the DIY approach and having an interior designer on your team. 

Following the team at DealMachine would help also because they are based in Indianapolis.
