Now that you have decided to move forward with real estate investing you should probably build your support team. Depends on the type of investment you are doing, your support team should include the followings:
1. Guru/coach – the leading figure that sets the tone of your investing approach.
2. Investment friends – not your friends who are not interested with investing but friends you can bounce ideas off, friends that will be both supportive and give you their thoughts. Try to find friends that are in a similar situation as you are.
3. Professionals:

1. Real Estate Attorney

2. Real Estate Tax Expert/CPA

3. Real Accountant

4. Realtor

5. Property manager

6. Rehab crew

7. Insurance person

8. Mortgage broker
