For the time being I'll focus on Tampa and learning about the neighbourhoods before building my team.

I love bigger pockets because the same day i started the forum...same day i got contacted by new mgmt team who so far has been great.

@Joe Fairless I had a partner on that deal who took care of the list, I took care of the logistics of creating the radio scripts and arranging the venues for the presentations as well as the AV team.

As a landlord, property manager or real estate investor - nothing is difficult if you have the right team.

Working for a GC company in DFW, I meet a lot of new investors who do not have a team set up.

Have you considered teaming up with wholesalers and or bird dogs to help in your search?

I find having a LLC does give credibility, as does filing taxes legitimately, registering with your city etc etc4. surround yourself with credible CPAs, attorneys, escrow companies, title companies, so even if the seller doubts you, your team around you can vouch for you and instill confidence in the seller5.

However, before I buy the property I would like to have a solid local property manager/ management company and a GC on my team.

We feel we have a decent team set up for our first flip, but are having trouble finding a good home in San Antonio.

My team currently manage 140 units with no marketing of our services.
