The idea being that once we are ready, I can fully outsource the bookkeeping but have confidence to oversee it.It's kind of annoying (and almost a deal breaker for us) that Yardi doesn't import live bank transactions as we were used to that with Stessa, but it is forcing me to stick to consistent entry and coding things correctly.BTW, you do have the option to pass the CC/Debit Card charges onto the tenant for online payments if you like, or you can absorb them.

Should I consider outsourcing this or is this something I could handle myself?

Potentially we could outsource that to a VA, but I haven't found one I trust enough to get it all right in a timely and accurate manner.   

I am all for out-sourcing but putting up signs is a GREAT way to see what is going on in the hood.Unless you do it at midnight :) Do it at noon - drive the streets - I have been approaced by a lot of people when putting signs out - some have led to deals - I have found many deals by doing this myself.But if you must - I agree 100% with Nationwide - hire someone you know and trust - if not - have the "stranger" take a photo of EVERY sign he puts out to give to you as proof.....What woudl I pay them - min. wage.

@Andrew SmithSame, almost daily and largely from outsourced virtual assistants.

Just to clarify, you manage the booking and the pricing, and outsource the cleaning, maintenance, etc., right? 

Once understood, out source those jobs to others.

In this case you outsource the work and a syndicator takes their cut.

I read on these forums where a wholesaler was sharing his contact metrics, and to keep it short, his lead generation from cold calling was about 1 in 1000 calls (that he was outsourcing).  

My plan is to try to do some of the work myself so I can learn, and then outsource some of the work (knocking down a couple walls) so that I can get some experience managing contractors and ensure the larger projects are done properly.
