I would love to find someone who will assist me with all my rentals in this area in the coming years.

While we continue to aggressively save for a downpayment (and rely heavily on that as leverage to move forward) and seek private investors, we are also looking into creative financing options, specifically seller financing or seller assisted financing.

If I can assist in any way, let me know.

There are virtual assistants who will answer phones or make calls.

Thanks for the assistance.

I was thinking of hiring him as an assistant and could give him lists to call off of for potential investment deals or even listings for my real estate agent side of my business

Let me know if I can be of assistance. 

Thanks for assisting!

So, maybe you could put a chunk away into a tax advantaged account.Again, interesting to think about, but you need some dedicated assistance. 

.- downpayment assistance programs, grants, FHA 3.5% down (more rehab budget), etc.
