@Chatree C. Great questions! When it comes to virtual assistants you need to make sure you are working with a reputable company and one that has in-house virtual assistants. the majority of companies do not have in-house virtual assistant and therefore are not liable for for any stolen confidential information that is taken from the investor. For this kind of stuff you ideally want a company that has signed documentation that protects the investors information and anything else their virtual assistant has access to, as well as employing in-house virtual assistants. This is why my company has built our model around hiring in-house virtual assistants that are all college educated. We enroll them into a 5 week real estate investing education, where they learn everything they need to know about real estate investing and then from there spend the next week or so training them on the investors business, systems and processes they will be working for. If this is something you are interested in learning more about, please feel free to send me a message!

What is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you have as real estate investor? Really think about this one for a minute.

Your portfolio? No.

Your lender relationships? Guess again.

It’s your LEADS. Because without leads, you have no deals and no opportunities to create real wealth. And, as a wholesaler, most of those leads come in two buckets:

1. Seller leads
2. Buyer leads

Hiring a Virtual Assistant is one option to look into. Building buyers lists, generating leads, working the phones, running comps, and marketing, it all can be done using a virtual assistant. This is a great way to spend more time analyzing deals and talking to buyers and sellers. Our services provide 4-6 weeks REI training for VA's that include the different systems and processes in ones personal business.

4 Expenses Your Buyers Don’t Expect

@Adam Sheren Hey Adam, have you considered hiring someone to handle this for you like a Virtual Assistant? Having a person rather than a software system analyze deals for you at all time and provide this information to you is much more efficient and time effective, allowing you to focus on more important tasks. I know various investors who have implemented this info their systems and experienced huge success. 

"The Dallas housing market is on fire as more investors, home flippers, developers and builders beat out home shoppers for houses.

According to an article in The Dallas Morning News by Steve Brown, nearly 40% of the homes sold in the Dallas area last year didn't go to owner occupants."

Has anyone looked into having a Virtual Assistant run their bookkeeping though Quickbooks? I have found this to be extremely effective and successful for saving me time and allowing me to focus more on my deals rather than the boring backend work. Not to mention having the Virtual Assistant handle all of my social media marketing and phone work. 

@Patrick Alcoke Virtual Assistants. Have someone take care of all inbound and outbound calling, setting appointments, cold calling, and anything else that requires phone work. On top of this you can have your virtual assistants doing marketing, running, comps, generating leads, and building buyers lists for your business. We have a created a business that provides investors real estate trained virtual assistants using different systems such as Podio, Reale Flow, and Investor Fuse to automate their businesses and being able to spend more time in the field talking to buyers and sellers.
