Essential roles for fix and flip business

[Chris Oswald]

I am just starting out with real estate, but in any business venture I always start with the end in mind, so I want to understand all of the different necessary roles to build out a great system which can be scaled for a primary fix and flip business. I do understand that I will wear several of the hats starting out, but if I can compartmentalize and provide clear definition of the roles, work will be much easier to hand off as growth dictates.

The roles I see being important to fulfill are as follows:

• Real Estate Agent
• Contractor
• Project manager
• Home inspector - for before finalizing offers
• Title company
• Marketer to find deals
• Negotiator to close deals
• Bookkeeper
• Accountant
• Lender/financial source

I know that I am missing things here, so any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help!

It makes sense but I am thinking from start up and on from there. Lowest overhead possible then structure it when you are busy enough to need it. 

We do 8-13 at a time fix and flip wise and we have a 6 man team.
