@Jingwen DunfordIf the numbers make sense and you have the team in place then go for it!

My direction is after I get the process and footing under me, to work for myself and never have a boss again (besides the customer / tenant / investor or purchaser) eventually want to work with a great team and more so with friends and family to build each other.

Still trying to build my team and network as I go.

I feel like investors would feel more comfortable investing in us if we have someone with a successful track record in commercial real estate on our team. 

I've teamed up with an agent and hard money lender already, a good GC is the final big team member I'm trying to connect with before I take on my first Flip!

Once you found a market that works well with your goals, you need to build yourself a good team. 

@Alejandro OrtizOut of state investing has its own risks and benefits but if you set up a good team (property manager, contractors, etc.) you mitigate the risks and reap the rewards.

Also, think about bringing experience onto your team and leverage that be it your property manager, project manager, co-signer (I just signed on my husband's loan and got him some very cheap money for a flip he wants to do). 

Do people usually include accountants as part of their team?

Also I learned that the better the team you have in place (agent, mortgage folks, etc), the smoother everything will be.
