So if an agent is not strong in using social media, are there services they can outsource this task to?

Creating something unique and special takes more time and energy.  

They work in a super unique niche and are the best at what they do.

Flipping here in the bay area is no easy task, and I am glad you have your buy box figured out.

I've run into a situation that appears to be unique and need some advise.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

I do not know where in California you live, but filling 11 vacancies at the same time seems like a pretty daunting task. 

I also have another unique option where I could sell off portions of my equity at $50 increments with a 3% fee - but I would also proportionally lose any cash flow and appreciation - so I'm not fully convinced that's a good option - although I understand I can try to use the equity sold to get higher returns, but I'd need to at minimum, cover the cash flow returns I've lost through the sale.
