This has really slowed down the project and I will look to outsource this in the future.

I too need to go another way/outsource this as my Driving for $s results have been awful.

Should I outsource?

I know several firms that offer different levels of service to suit your needs from 100% management to simply outsourcing turn overs and credit checks.

For things we outsourced (e.g. granite)  we built a team of connections that provide us with hefty discounts in exchange for loyalty.  

I took w-2 salary money from my hometown DC/Va some years back, and started investing out of state in upcoming areas Raleigh NC and Jacksonville Fl suburbs for better return..stability, 1% rule, places id want to live also..buying light reno's off mls to get a bit of a deal, aiming for 1% deal, and turning over (out sourcing) to a property manager to prep and rent out is pretty do able entry... target 3/2's 1000+ sqr safe zone .. and you have some exit outturn key scares me as buyer, i cant pay 20% above 2019 arv's just for extra convenience.. its too retail.. 

In my area, electrical inspections typically get outsourced to third party inspectors that specialize in electrical inspections. 

I think you are making a great choice by looking to outsource this task.  

A PM, starting out, is a waste of money, IMO, if you want to be the RE business, you need to handle ALL parts of the business first, to see what you are good at and what you need to outsource.

If you budgeted for property management and are self managing you could "pay" that to yourself for now but if you desire in the future to outsource PM then it goes away of course.
