I didn't understand the idea of a real estate group initially, so I'd a hard time with real estate investment. I tended to be always a "lone wolf," trying to do a lot of myself. I have since found that in real estate, you desire a group of individuals you can trust and rely on. Here are a few possible team members, and what they need to be on the team.
1. A mortgage broker or bank. Many options can be offered by a broker, but the loan decision can be made by a banker. They each have their advantages, and you can use both on your own team. In any case it is important they determine what you need (fast closings, lower attention, corporate loans?)
2. An accountant or bookkeeper. To keep proper books for real estate assets gets harder with all the tax-law changes. Find someone that understands regulations, and understands what you need.
3. An actual estate attorney. Find somebody familiar with the laws and legal methods of your place, and that has experience with the sort of offers you want to do (If you are buying rentals, she should really be familiar with doing evictions, for example.)
