Which comes first: team or deal

[Destiny Prince]

I’ve been learning how to use the calculators (they are wonderful) to analyze deals. While practicing it occurred to me, which comes first a team or the property? Do I find contractors who work in an area and talk to lenders about an amount based on the area first? Or, do I find a property, analyze it, then go find lenders/contractors/etc?

LOL this is like what came first the chicken or the egg.  It's beneficial to have a team in place when you find the deal but it doesn't mean you should pass on a deal because you don't have a team.  Do both at the same time.  Look for deals, build your team.  Having the right deal ready often attracts a team.
