I have been learning directly from this amazing team at that company.

Any of these markets you will do very well if you put yourself in contact with the right people, build the right team, and be boots on the ground. 

I'm looking to build a team of investors and wholesalers.

You'll need your team in place, and you'll need to be known by the brokers if you want your offer to be picked.  

@Adrian ChuHi Adrian I am a San Diego based investor/broker connecting makes perfect sense.I have a team involved in Urban In-fill.

I know the topic that I'm inquiring about has probably been addressed and/or beaten with a dead horse but I'm really not trying to allow my fear of the unknown to stop me from jumping in and taking action like I did 10 years ago when the passion for real estate investing took hold of my soul but I feel that there are a few things I need to set up before starting my direct mail campaign. i.e. having certain team members in place such as a closing attorney and an investor-friendly agent for valuation of deals.

You have an office w/ employees, you already have a head start on your team.  

@Gary MariencheckCongrats on your potential deal on those duplexes they sound like a gold mine with the right person or team behind it which is (YOU!!

Real estate doesn't function like a traditional job, where you setup meetings weeks in advance and invite everyone from the team to attend (regardless of whether their presence is needed or not).

@Gary Freidman  not certain about those cities other than what Wayne posted.. but there are foreclosure buying services in Atlanta, Vegas, Phx  that I know of... and I personally bought foreclosures in Leheigh and Coral with the help of a RE team .. they got paid a fee to bid... fee to rehab and list fee when they sold... it basically turn out to be about a 50 50 deal us the money them the work...
