I want to hire a virtual assistant to cold call a list of cash buyers I have to sign them up and to weed out the "dud" phone numbers so I can use another freelancer to track down the good phone number and then repeat until I get through the entire list.

Like most, I have the lists and means to reach the struggling person who I have identified desperately needs my help and without question I believe I offer a solution. 

**Initial Guesstimates**: Before buying a property, bring several contractors in and let them know you’re looking for a guesstimate – just a ballpark figure.

I didn't realize you could test the gallons and quality, but will add that to the list!

@Joshua HughesImproving your property list and finishing a big bedroom job can be tough, mainly when you face hard tenants.

I can't address the accounting question, but from the listing perspective you always want to represent the property accurately, and make it as attractive and enticing as possible.

Most Realtors that list a rental/multi family property list them like they were a single-family residence and try to price them like their someone’s forever home.

I would like a fee schedule where I would pay per call if possible, as opposed to a monthly rate since most things I will take care of myself, except those items listed above since I’m not in the area. 

Important to note that you don't have to go under contract or even make an offer in that time; you just need to formally list a few properties that you would consider buying in your 1031.
