Have you scheduled a cleaner to come in and do a deep clean before you start renting.

Actually start in the deep end and begin working on the projects (flips, brokering, wholesales, etc.) that you're wanting to do and you'll notice that you'll find your team along the way.

We want to delve deep into one city first before moving to another.  

People have to take a deep dive into their personal lives why they are not being consistent in their lives.

I didn't dig too deep here, but at least one SC county notes on their website that your interest in the property doesn't actually vest until after the expiration of the redemption period. 

That is how fast things are changing.The more I think about this, the more I realize how deep the impact will be on our job market.
