Were looking to buy land, build, sell in Palmdale Westside but not sure about project team and funding for those projects. 

with that said I'm not sure you really need to do that, you can easily hire on a firm and use their expertise and connections as a team member to accomplish what you want, if you find good enough deals out there people will lend you the money!

Hi @Travis Benham - I am all for honesty, especially with those that you are relying on as part of your team, such as lenders and Realtors. 

My husband is a Union Electrician and Realtor with Keller Williams so we are looking to become a team.

You might bump into some money guys there, know they aren't "private lenders" they are hard money lenders fishing in the waters.You'll also find leaches there, (not a derogatory term) it's very acceptable practice in RE for an experienced person to team up with inexperienced players to get a deal done, these experienced types just leach onto newbies and work deals, there are some who do nothing but leach deals providing themselves with more opportunities with less effort.

To note, I have not read one persons post who called them hooligans who had data to back up their claim; they only generically lumped them into all the other ones and left it at that.

What I have been reading about real estate investing is that putting together a team is important.In selecting the members how far do you go in meeting them?

I am new to rehabbing and I am looking at building my team.

I was told it was important to build my team first, and then a buyers list.

I also wouldn't mind teaming up with others who are doing the same.
