I like to outsource that to a local expert.I call/interview property mangement companies in a city that I like and ask them to refer me to a real estate broker who works with investors.  

You can't do any work on the property yourself, you must outsource everything.

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

The larger outsourcing companies are also good sources - try National Default Servicing and Integrated Asset Services.Hope that helps.KP

Most bookkeepers won’t work in it if you plan to outsource it in the future.I use QuickBooks Online (QBO) for my flipping business, rental businesses, and bookkeeping clients. 

I invest OOS, and I know I can outsource a Call center to get my calls and set the appointments with the sellers that are interested .

For example, if you wanted to outsource that part of your business, are there management companies in your area that you would feel comfortable turning operations over to?

Had our hosting dead for a full week because they outsourced hosting which went off for whatever reason and and he had to depend on them to respond to a ticket.

Would definitely outsource for liability purposes 

I'm thinking about outsourcing the maintenance response piece to either Latchel or SuperTenders.
