You need an automated system that responds to all leads within five minutes.Whether that's a text message system or a phone center, you absolutely need to respond within five minutes.I trained VAs and set up my system and then, as soon as I had it running smoothly, I discovered a great service called "Call Pat" or something like that.

I also want to hire VAs but it's too soon. 

I would jump on Upwork or Fiveer and they have VAs that are great at that along with them being a lower cost than someone that maybe works for a CPA.

To the investors who have worked with VAs directly or with VA management companies...What were the drawbacks you encountered?

We use VAs to handle all the bookkeeping in our office.

So I "self manage" but I hired and trained VAs to run it for me.

We source our VAs from the Philippines if you're interested in checking out REVA Global.

Does anyone know of a virtual assistance training course that I could put my VAs through.

Yes, I'm in CT and use VAs to cold call for me.

Hey @Bridgett Smith, we help place investors with real estate trained VAs.
