BRRRR Advice on building a team

[Tony Bermeo]

Hi everyone, I am starting to explore the idea of jumping into BRRRR investing. Without too much fluff i'll cut to the chase, as someone who does not have a "team" ready to deploy for the various services needed to restore a home, how do I begin constructing said team? My thought is literally just start calling people and having early convos with GC's and building relationships prior to jumping in, but that is the only thing I can really think of. I would love to know some of the strategies folks here have deployed to build out their network and properly execute this sort of work.

Hi Tony! Good for you for taking the first step! That first step is always the hardest. 

Yes, you need a good team, and if you are working locally, then you need to spend some time networking with real estate professionals in your area. Another approach is to find someone who is doing it already, and try to add value to their team, so you can work with somebody already in the thick of it and see how it's done. 

Picking up the phone is important. So is the reputation of the people you want to work with. Local networking groups like BNI or Rotary can be a great way to meet professionals in your area. 

Best of luck!
