106. How to Build Your Real Estate Investing Team in Memphis

You want people on your team who have experienced markets like this before and are in the trenches with you. Choose partners who own rental properties. So, your insurance guy owns houses. Your closing attorney owns houses. You get the idea. START WITH THE BASICS: Property Source/ Deal (Agent, Wholesaler, Insurance, Accounting, Closing Attorney, Title Companies) Financing (Hard Money Lenders, Bankers, Local Lenders) Management (Property Manager, Rehab Contractor, Maintenance Contractor)  WHO WE USE We aren't going to recommend any services we don't use ourselves. Local Title/Closing Attorney: Griffin, Clift, Everton & Maschmeyer, PLLC Local Lender: Corelend Financial (Hard Money) Prop Mgmt: CrestCore General Contractor/Rehab Contractor: (email me, [email protected] I'll tell you)  Property Source: The one & only Dean (email me, [email protected] ) PROTIP: Remember there are 3 levels of agents.  Non-real estate agents - Like wholesalers. Be careful when dealing with wholesalers because they do not have a governing body of oversight. They are running wild. Licensed Real Estate Agents - This doesn't mean a whole lot. They are under the authority of the state. Realtors - They are under the authority of the National Association of Realtors and have a code of ethics they abide by. Their duty is to help their clients, not to help some affiliate company. Have any questions?
