I'd love to find one of these myself. My biggest piece of advice is to just get out there and start talking to sellers. Many people get trapped before the starting line thinking about how to set everything up. It's going to take you months if not years to figure out what you're looking for and what price you should pay for it.

Hey Ryan & Scott-

Endurance ‌Search has a good pre-launch planning template under the "Resources" section of their website. If the below direct link doesn't work you can find it on their website by going to: Endurancesearchpartners.com > Resources > Launching Your Search > Administrative / Organization > "Pre-launch planning template - Example". Note that you may have to register (for free) to gain access to the file.

Alternatively, feel free to pm me and I can send you the excel version of my (self-funded) to-do list. Hope this helps!
