Hi Everyone,Ryan Johnston here, an agent overseeing a sales team currently in Alpharetta, GA.  

We come to the all-knowing massively experienced forum members for their help and guidance once again!

I would find out when your building was built and then talk to an experienced lead inspector (hypothetically) about how much lead he would expect to find in the buildings and the risks and costs.

A lot of landlords and experienced investors attend and you can present the numbers in your deal (keeping the address private) to get feedback.

@Vincent Chen,The key is to build your local team - property management, contractors, etc. that can go look at properties for you and report back. 

I'm Ky, I'm new investor in the Bay Area and looking to connect with professionals to build my team.

You can hire an agent to do what you want and pay them for your time . . . however a good agent that would be worth paying is way to busy to get paid hourly to run comps for you.Yes all the online sites are ok to a point, but by no means as accurate as the local MLS.I advise all investors that they either need to be a licensed agent so they have their own access or someone on the team need to be licensed.  

Ive been doing alot of research but I have no idea how to start compiling my team or a buyers list?

Does that mean that all paid professionals should remain silent in any forums on topics they are experienced and knowledgable about because it may, or may not, be self serving?
