Outsource 80% of tasks like admin, tenant calls, and repairs to property managers or virtual assistants—focus only on the critical 20%: finding deals, decision-making, and building your investment strategy.

With new builds, the key is proactive systems:HOA coordination → designate one point of contact and keep a running log of approvals/issues.Warranty tracking → set up a calendar for all builder warranty deadlines so nothing slips.Tenant onboarding → educate them on what’s covered under warranty vs. what’s their responsibility.Owner updates → monthly status reports so they don’t feel in the dark.It’s less about fixing things and more about managing communication and expectations on all sides.How have you seen HOAs handle responsiveness in your area?

Educate and communicate with the buyers before showing any property.
