Hello Byron.  I am open to working with someone in the Carrollton market and perhaps we can do some things together.  Let's connect sometime and discuss.

The question have been asked repeatedly...\

Where should I hire a VA from?

How do I know if they are good?

Should I hire someone local or virtual?

How do I train them?

Can they really do what I need them to inexpensively?

And many more...

These questions come to the forefront of nearly every Real Estate professional I have met when the subject of virtual assistants (VAs) comes up. At a recent REIA meeting I spoke at, the top three things people said about VAs were Cheap, International and Hard to Understad. So the stereotypes are alive.

This need not be the case.  My name is Frank Iglesias and our team comprised of mostly virtual staff has been able to overcome all of these shortcomings of working with VAs.  And it's not that hard to do with the right approach.

We developed a system walking you through the process from A-Z that shows you exactly how to reproduce what we have which leads us to do more deals, make more money and at less cost.  With a team of nine, we know it works for a fraction of what it would cost if everyone was local.

Check out our system at http://buildavirtualteam.com and if you think it can help you to be effective at even hiring just one VA that can transform your business, give it a whirl. There is tons of content so I promise, you will get your investments worth out of it.

Have a fantastic day!

We use VAs heavily in our business and has worked very well for us.  However it really isn't something to go about loosely and takes planning and preparation to get long term success out of it like almost anything else.  We have six VAs with an average lifespan so far of just about two years working with us, a couple longer.  

It's about relationships with a team member and not just someone doing tasks.  Most people, virtual or not eventually lose momentum when their focus is just doing tasks vs being part of something bigger than themselves.  People are people no matter where they are.  And like anything else, it usually takes some effort to find the good ones.  There is no shortage of VAs offering services that they really aren't qualified for but again, we see that locally as well.  

Have an amazing day!

Hi Joshua, 

I'd appreciate the information, thanks!

Interesting tread.  We buy to wholesale and renovate in all sorts of parts of Atlanta.  The whole East Atlanta area from Cabbagetown through Kirkwood/Oakhurst is all A-B class properties nowadays except for some specific little pockets that will take some more time to come around or where the location is too close to the interstate to pull strong values.  The south side of 20 has a lot of simialr areas.  Some parts are closer to B-C quality but it can change by the streets so no one neighborhood is 100% solid.  We have two currently in Cabbagetown which is a hot area but some people would say the houses are too tight.  It just depends on so many factors.  Historic West End is nice as we are purchasing one there.  Same for Adair Park depending on the street.  There are other areas as well that are doing nicely.  In the end, the street and the neighboring street in each direction in my opinion will drive the quality/class of property and price point in town.  That's been our experience.  We like doing intown deals!

All, I have several rehabs going and am looking for a few more to fill up the pipeline.  If you have a rehab with strong numbers in the Atlanta area or suburbs, we are buying.  We will go anywhere that is not a warzone.  Would love to see what you have available.

Please add us to your Buyers list at [email protected]

Thanks!

@Joshua Dorkin Happy birthday, Josh! Best wishes! 

Cheers!

I own both courses. Larry Goins has some great stuff and takes a lot of info and systemizes wholesaling better than most course I have seen. As a very active investor, all it takes one top to convert to make it worth the price of admission and we got our money back as a result with interest. Fortune builder is a totally different animal from most courses. Mastery is not a real estate technique but a very strong network of active investors surrounded by very successful minds in the business of building a business that is sustainable for the long term. If you just want to wholesale, save your money. If you want to just rehab, you could buy their rehab course which IMHO is the best. If you want to build a business with all it's intricacies and grow a team that does many things well in your local market and beyond and be coached along the way, then dig into it. That is where it shines best. The amount of info and systems provided is massive and worth the money spent if it is what you desire. It's not for everyone but it works very well.

Jon Holdman Atlanta is a nice market for cash flow because you can invest at different price points and still accomplish your goals. You can cash flow houses as cheap as the 20's (war zones not included) to the 200's+ and still make money depending on if you pay cash or leverage. There are a ton of options still available even with the competition from the funds in town. Having clear goals and then finding the areas and price points to meet those goals takes some work but the dividends can be excellent. Atlanta is a diverse city and we have been glad to see the returns us and others have made investing here. Do your homework and it can work out very nice. Many people feel the same way as there is a lot of competition here right now.

Atlanta is a solid place for cash flow yes!
