Real Estate Investor Series: Part 5 of 6!

Building A Real Estate Investment Team 101

While serial investors (who buy additional rental properties without selling their current ones) are likely to invest with only the help of a real estate agent, other investors benefit from having a team of experts.

In addition to a real estate agent (and your tax advisor), some team members for you to consider are:

1. A builder or general contractor who can evaluate the structural integrity of a unit
2. A specialist in leases who is experienced in writing contracts
3. An attorney who practices in real estate law
4. A mortgage professional who can offer you different financing options

Having a team of investors gives you more knowledge as well as more financial resources as well. One word of caution: while friends or family may be interested in joining your real estate investment team, it is best to pick individuals based on the experience they offer.

Warm regards,
