I don't have time, my showings would always have to be outsourced.

In addition, post cards allow you to cast a wider net because they are much less expensive and easy to produce and outsource.

But an idea for outsourcing the groundwork is to hire someone on craigslist to go take pics of the interior, exterior, have them go in with a checklist to estimate repairs, or anything else but how much trust do you have for a stranger from craigslist?

I acquired roughly 8,000 this way.Honestly it is so cheap to get someone to make and send postcards I think I would just outsource the whole operation once I use all these up, but at this point since my only real cost is postage and the eventual incremental cost of labels and ink it is cheaper to do it myself.

@Timothy BrillantIt is hard to give specific tips when it isn't clear exactly what your business is and what tasks you are worried about when growing.So some generic things that you can outsource without hiring actual employees can include:- If you are doing your own taxes hire a CPA.- If you are doing your own books (If you have a CPA or not) you can hire a part time book keeper.- If you manage your own rentals you can hire a management company.- If you do your own repair/rehab work you can hire handymen and contractors.- If you do in house direct mail you can outsource all or part of that.1) Keep it in house but hire people to stuff, stamp, and label the pieces (Kids and old people are good targets)2) Just get a mail fulfillment house to take care of all of it for you.- If you take all your own calls from marketing you can hire an answering service.- You can hire VAs to handle a host of minor and tedious jobs.

And they all say the same thing; they have no such an special access and they too use outsourcing companies to get the information.

Sometimes I'll use a different countertop supplier, but I like to have the option of using my cabinet guy for countertops, even if he outsources it. - I want a turn-around of no more than 10 days from the date of measuring.

He outsources almost everything, Maybe he'll jump in here, its been a good while since we talked.

The owner must prove distress..Most wholesalers outsource their potential short sales to individuals that specialize in that area.

And can be outsourced.
