Seller financing and private money is the fastest way to grow.

My fastest was 10 days from the initial paperwork filing to evict to tossing out.

Ashley, as a Realtor, I'm of course biased towards putting it on the MLS for speed of getting it rented and bringing in a bigger pool of qualified applicants.    

The fax to PDF solution I mentioned might be good if the papers are distributed, but if they are all in one place and need to be scanned in bulk, then other high speed scanners might be a better bet.

Also A high speed train testing facility

This time we were going to hire it all out to see a couple things. 1 the speed in which project will get done and 2 their costs.

Fastest Growing:1.

@Rob Smith - all great points above.One thing that I didn't see mentioned is becoming a private lender for real estate investors.IMHO - this is the fastest way to grow you limited seed funds.You can easily charge 1-5 points PLUS 12-15% APR for short term loans that are secured by real estate.I personally use a handful of private lenders to fund my wholesale business [I don't do assignments, I close on each property before reselling].I never pay more than 65% LTV and give the lender a Promissory Note along with a Mortgage.  

If you're interested in a market like Dallas, where things are selling at the speed of light, you need someone to view properties for you, because you're going to have to move on them immediately.

Reliability, loyalty, and speed come at a price.
