BiggerPockets (BP) does have some tools and templates that can help keep you organized (like checklists for inspections, title, and earnest money).

the first step that I would take is to find an investor from the realtor in your area and you can build a lot of your network just piggybacking off of theirs with their recommendations of contractors and other professionals biggerPockets has a great tool for finding realtors.

I run a Real Estate Call Center so I'm always getting asked to recommend skip tracing tools like Lead Sherpa or Share Group.

They do have a very awesome app called Deal Driven which is an extremely awesome marketing - organizing - information and skip tracing tool.

(It’s a great tool)I am located in Oceanside/carlsbad area.Using the VA on two places has a lot of limitations with the cost of homes in this area it makes it near impossible however having a good VA loan officer is key for part of your team.I am actually helping another client in a very similar situation.

Don't expect it to be easy because it will never be.Skip tracing is a tool that finds any number associated with the requested address.

fastpeoplesearch.com has been my go-to free tool for finding people's contact info. 

I am looking for a house inspector who goes into every tiny details that need attention and uses a good reporting tool to look at the issues.
