I am trying to outsource the work.

See how you can get more done and scale up by outsourcing your marketing. 

Sometimes they are one in the same if they haven't sold the paper off or outsourced the servicing of the loan.The servicer has guidelines they must follow from the pooling and servicing agreement.

Properties like this usually trade at higher CAP rates as they are a bit more time intensive on the management side and not easily outsourced. 

I have 2 multi-families next to each other; it is a god-send.If you are aiming to "go big," I agree with the "guru's," in that you should outsource much of the day to day; it is hard to go big in Westchester due to the high cost of living/property.

This tells me that the people on the site are outsourced people likely from outside of the county and they work on volume.

As an investor, you get a bundled deal on outsourced work, and a tenant would be more likely to chose your property for the cable+ TV package (or you can charge more for rent)If the numbers work, they work!

How would I differ from a tiny REIT or a rent-secured bond if I owned a bunch of residential properties and outsourced all property management? 

Dont venture out on outsourcing labor if you already have some people you trust . even if you have to wait a bit for them .

Some accountants outsource the work for their client to the cost seg engineer companies but then the tax accountant charges more to defend in an audit so you pay twice instead of cost seg defending the report for no more cost.You can also be capped if you do not have real estate professional status against personal income after you have depreciated income from the property.
