I was to start assembling a team together and am looking for any recommendations of contractors that will offer a little bit more hand-holding, as I am still fairly new to this process. 

Which market do you have experience in and how is your experience working remotely with your real estate team in the area?  

However, after further research, I’ve noticed that Charlotte, NC, and Raleigh-Durham, NC, are experiencing robust rental market growth and expanding economic opportunities.

I work in acquisitions for wholesale and come across deals sometimes so amazing it hurts me to see my disposition team sell them.

Also, I'm looking to form a power team in each of the states mentioned.

Hire a reliable co-host or property manager (15-25% of revenue), automate pricing and guest communication with tools like PriceLabs and Hospitable, and build a strong cleaning/maintenance team to handle turnovers and inspections.

As I look into the market and start to build a team I had a few questions:1)  How difficult is it to get and keep a rental license OOS?

For example, we've recently taken over marketing internally because the property management company was not experienced enough in using the newer advertising methods we need to pursue.

I started bringing donuts for their team when I would stop by to get keys from them.While this anecdote has more to do with client retention than acquisition, I still find it interesting. 

Most on-market deals will likely not fit your investment criteria unless you allocate a substantial downpayment, often at least 30%-35%, or negotiate a price reduction that fits your requirements.Furthermore, while this is not the case for all metro ATL markets, my team and I typically see that a solid portion of the small multifamily space is comprised/orientated in neighborhoods of other small multifamily properties.
