I've been investing in one market for 10+ years and my vendor list continues to evolve and never had the mindset of assembling a team I can rely upon.

After assembling a lot of bed frames, I prefer the Zinus brand, and I would recommend contract grade furniture.Don't forget to sign up for pest control and both a renter's and landlord policy on your insurance.Hi Miguel - I’m also looking at the midtown  Sacramento area for multifamily…what is “contract grade” furniture please ?

Trying to assemble a team of investor friendly agent possibly in the Craven County area. 

I know I need to assemble a team, I know I need to understand markets and analyze a ton of deals, and I know I need to coordinate it all for execution with the right timing.

That cuts down some assembly time.

Now, I’m curious about real estate investing.I have some experience flipping a couple of houses, and although I have a ton of flaws, one of my strengths is being resourceful and assembling amazing teams—I’m always looking for people better than me at what they do— what seems to be a good fit for real estate.

Building a strong financial plan, researching markets, assembling a reliable team, and having an exit strategy are essential steps to success.Good luck!

The most important thing you can do in the beginning is assemble a good team. 

When you work a 9-5 job, you typically rely on colleagues assigned to you.As an investor, you have the OPPORTUNITY to assemble your dream team of professionals who share your ambition and can help you achieve your financial goals.
