Liam, You are right, I am in Houston, Indy, and Memphis :) Cash flow works many places, but the team is a big piece, and you can believe there are different quality teams in those markets.

I found the two biggest REO brokers and pursued them until one agreed to let me join their team...

@Max P.I'm sorry for calling you out directly, it was rude, there was a point I wanted to make, that the 'good advice' culled from the book is often very generic - there are many books by authors who do not advocate cheating on taxes, who do not disdain education and hard work, etc...

Here you will connect with potential team members.Two Great reads, I bought both J.

Certainly, doing additions are a big undertaking, and if you don't have the experience/team/confidence to do it, it doesn't really matter what the math says.That said, if a great deal comes along, perhaps it's a good opportunity to find an experienced rehabber to team up with to take the lead.

They are demanding, but we have a GREAT team, and that is who you should look to work with, as 1 single agent cannot take care of Investors as well as buyers, sellers, listings and social media.

My opinion is that wholesaling is probably the most difficult strategy to master.If you have remodeling skills, the odds of making any real money, are much greater buying, fixing and selling.It would likely be much easier to find someone in your area to team up with/teach you how to make money with a fix and flip, then to find someone to teach train you how to do a wholesale sucessfully.

One local wholesaler has a whole team of them doing her mailings for her, they take calls and set up appointments and are learning the business.

As we grow and things get a little more hectic I am contemplating some sort of assistant to help with marketing, daily tasks like phone calls, acquisitions, etc. So my question is who did you hire first in your biz...

Hi Jose,I know a few investors who use Bird Dogs as part of their team.
