Hey Tim,What would want/expect out of the team?

Just sent you a DM in reference to helping you build out your team. 

We’re a father–son team at the very beginning of our real estate journey, focused on learning the fundamentals and building the right habits from day one.

I just started as an agent on FIRE Realty and agree, the systems we have in place and the knowledge we have on this team is great.

Since you’re investing from out of state and internationally, having a strong local team—agents, property managers, and contractors—is key, and there are plenty of professionals here who have experience working with remote investors.

I’m specifically interested in teams or companies that:Understand real estate (wholesaling, off-market, investors, agents, etc.)Can handle motivated seller conversations intelligentlyDeliver consistent appointment quality, not just call volumeIntegrate well with common tools (PropStream, BatchLeads, ReadyMode, Follow Up Boss, REISift, etc.)Have real-world ROI, not just marketing claimsIf you’ve used cold callers successfully, I’d love to hear:The company or team you recommendApproximate cost per caller/hourWhat type of lists you’re calling (absentee, probate, high equity, tired landlords, etc.)Realistic results (leads, appointments, deals per month)What you’d do differently if you were starting overBonus points if you’ve tested multiple providers and can compare quality, accents, training, and conversion rates.I’m happy to share what I’m seeing on my end as well once I compile feedback.Appreciate any insight from people actually doing volume, not just theory.Thanks in advance.

This list is separated into the Essentials List that doesn’t take much thought and can pretty much all be ordered from Amazon.

A great example is Columbus, Ohio—prices are still affordable in the $120–180K range, you can hit the 1% rule, cash flow on rentals is strong, and the population and job growth is booming with big companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, and more expanding here.

Has anyone invested with Home Team Vacation Rentals in the past?

The macroeconomics are on fire here with steady population growth, strong job growth, and massive companies moving in and expanding like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Honda, LG, Nationwide, and more.
