Hi Nico,Thank you for your post, You mentioned that hiring a few virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call has been effective, and that text messaging is also performing decently,I specialize in identifying and revitalizing unique properties—those that are not typical, for example, I recently spotted a triangle-shaped property that has the potential to be transformed into something beautiful and valuable, either for living or resale, Could you please share your approach and any guidance you might have on the process of using virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call and the text messaging strategies that have been effective for you?

If you start in your market now and then transition later.. you will have to rebuild your entire network and start over with your knowledge on the selected market.I suggest looking into OOS investing.
