Build around the next decision

Your first squad does not need to be large. It needs to cover the decisions that can create expensive mistakes: price, financing, inspection, rehab scope, rent readiness, insurance, taxes, and legal structure.

Start with the roles the deal needs now, then add specialists as the risk becomes specific. A lightweight squad map keeps education tied to execution instead of turning networking into a separate project.
