So here I am, asking for advice on how to go about building this team.Having a mentor, real estate agent, and a lawyer seems to be the first teammates I should strive for.Thank you in advance.

I can send you a list of services and a contact lead if you PM me.

The wife and I are 34/33 years old and while we would love to leave our current jobs, we don't have to be rushing to much.Anyway, the house/numbers:The house is a 3 bed, 2 bath, move in ready property with updated bathrooms, and a fairly nice kitchen.
