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?

in fantasy land you can make up your own caps and your own purchase prices.

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.

If your looking to start with something P/T you might want to think about teaming up with a local wholesaler and start "bird-dogging" for them so that you can learn more about the industry.

I personally think that real estate is a team sport, and growing our local network can only help us all.

Do you have a "purchase team" identified?
