With the internet access buyers have, most average realtors are being phased out of participating in searching for homes.

Get a mobile hotspot to do any business related work that requires internet.

Executing basic tasks and learning how to hire the right folks to handle them.

I focus on  doing tasks that would otherwise need expensive labor or long lead times. 

What tasks should they be given?

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old.

ex. how to find a good match for a buying agent, doing as much legwork as possible by phone or internet and keeping travel to a minimum. 

This whole task, other than getting the app, should take you 5 minutes or however long it will take to 3x scan your lease (more pages = longer time to scan). :) I do this whenever I have contract issues that aren't on docusign and I don't have time to meet with an agent or whathaveyou.

BP is maybe the greatest free resource to help you get started in Real Estate Investment there is on the internet.

Will look to that income to help cover simple living costs (say my cell phone and internet bills).Hope this helps, I'm sure others will have different opinions but that is the beauty of BP, lots of diverse and interesting perspectives!
