Right now I am working on assembling a team:Real Estate AgentsReal Estate AttorneysCPA'sGeneral Contractors Lenders @Tim Jones, Many thanks for that google tip. 

@Todd Moriarty - When we do mailings, we use yellowletterhq.com   They were recommended and their pricing/quality is on par with others

Does anyone have good resources for how I can discern which realtors are quality and which are not?

Again thank you for the great tip!!!

I am now ready to be an investor and looking forward to get my hands dirty.I hope to find some fellow investors that will help me get my business off the ground.I am here to learn so any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the tips!
