@Ethan Anderson Have you considered hiring a virtual assistant to delegate these tasks to? Having someone driving for dollars throughout the week from marketing, mailers, cold calling, and other touches, this will save you a significant amount of time and energy to focus on more important tasks at hand. If this is something you are interested in learning more about, please feel free to message me directly.

Post: Crash Course in Hiring a Virtual Assistant: Interview Questions

Picture coming to work after an amazing weekend filled with plenty of fun and plenty of R&R only to discover that all of your to-dos are DONE.

All the errands you had to run—DONE.
All the admin tasks you were dreading—DONE.
All the tedious charts and analyses and spreadsheets—DONE, DONE and DONE.

This is not out of the realm for your business, believe it or not. In fact, it’s how some of the most successful real estate companies function every single day.

If tasks like this were off of your list for good, wouldn’t you have much more time to work on your business instead of in your business?

The smartest, most strategic and most effective way to grow your business is to get out from under it—in other words, to not do everything on your own. If you’re running around doing mundane tasks with little impact and no direct tie to dollars, you’re wasting your time. As the business owner, you must focus on the interactive, strategic, and creative aspects of your work – the high leverage activities that only YOU can do.

Everything else should be delegated.

The first step? Get a virtual assistant and start outsourcing your daily tasks. It's a growing trend with real estate investors and entrepreneurs, and with good cause. Hiring a qualified, hands-on VA can increase your productivity by 10x, 100x or more. Really, who wouldn't want that? And, more importantly, who couldn't benefit from that?

So what’s keeping many business owners from pulling the trigger? Most people have trouble handling the hiring process.

And I get it—I wasn’t always an A+ hiring manager. Who you hire can have an enormous impact on your business, for better or for worse. Bringing the wrong person on board can have detrimental effects on your business now and in the future. Trusting someone who’s under qualified or has malicious intent can stall—or even destroy—your business.

While that’s scary, it’s no reason to bury your head in the sand and stay a solopreneur forever.

The smart thing to do? Become a better hiring manager. And don’t worry, it’s actually a lot easier than it sounds…

Save yourself from endless stress and confusion by hiring the right person

Post: Virtual assistant and confidential information

@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!

Post: 5 Tips For Building The Best Buyers List In Your Market

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
