I've started assembling a team (GC, attorney, etc.)  

-R-T-A cabinets (ready to assemble) (if you do a search, some threads will contain online stores links also)-ikea-custom cabinets-you learn to do it (time consuming + need to spend for tools)(if you add more details in you post, others can give you more detailed responses)-depends on your budget and your expectationsGood luck and pictures of your finished results will be appreciated

@Maritsa Cortes Here are my $.021) Start with plan for your investing business2) Read the blog posts on house hacking right here on BP 3) Educate yourself on financing options/ choose the one that suits you4) Check your credit report for inaccurate info5) Become an expert in the market and the different areas that you wish to invest inIf you check all of these off the next step would be to assemble a team (Realtor, lender, contractor etc) and start hunting for the house you'd like to hack.

I pay the extra $10 per cabinet to have the factory assemble them.

Hey if you are that afraid the US dollar is going to crash or lose value then put 50% of your savings into silver and gold bullion.

Lists need to be assembled.

Create a land assembly.

I'm not a handy man other than the basic Ikea dresser assembly.

Some areas that I feel weak on at the moment include: how to assemble a winning team, should I set up a business or do invest independently, how to find properties to review, and the best way to manage properties from a distance. 

@Ben W.You will not find assembled-for-you lists of most of the information you list above in Canada as privacy law makes trading in such information illegal.
