How to Build a Rock-Solid Real Estate Power Team (Even on Your First Deal) Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

Asking "who" beats asking "how." In today's episode, Wayne & Gabby break down how beginners (and seasoned investors who need a reset) can assemble a reliable, investor-focused power team—so you can move faster, avoid costly mistakes, and keep your business storm-ready.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• The core 4 pros every investor needs: investor-focused realtor, mortgage broker, lawyer, and accountant

• How to find trustworthy trades (contractors, HVAC, plumbers, cleaners, appliance techs) without gambling on quality

• The difference between "good" and "great" team members—and how to test for reliability, speed, and communication

• Interviewing without an interview: the simple trial-job method that surfaces your best vendors

• When "investor-focused" really matters (creative deals, AFS, seller financing, lease-options) and why it can save you legal fees

• Red flags + when (and how) to break up with a power-team member—professionally

• Relationship ROI: keeping A-players by paying promptly, sending referrals, and setting clear expectations
