Does anybody have some good recommendations of companies I should begin laying the ground work for?

MAX had a ton of real estate experience, well funded, and a solid team but needed someone willing to bring him deals and do the ground work.

I am not much of an administrative guy more hands on with the ground work and seeing the future property bring in cash flow. 

The more I think about it, the more I realize that my real problem with Newburgh is that I don’t have the time or team to get my hands dirty and do all of the groundwork that is required of a turn around.  

I have my agent on the ground and I'm building those GC relationships now, but I need to connect w/ my agent and ensure she's available for this kind of on-the-ground work.

For the first 1-5 I would say hire a GC and get the groundwork laid so that you can go out and manage/hire subs etc. on your home.

We handle the groundwork and the owner handles guest relations.

You can do the ground work to keep prices down by consistent shopping of services. 

That's where you do your groundwork in person. 

You can try to outsource some of the ground work to save you time, but be prepared to spend on your marketing to get leads.
