My business plan for next year is to outsource most of the time-consuming tasks in my business;Property searches for cash buyers, putting up properties on my wordpress website, following up with prospect, etc.Have you used a virtual assistant with much success?

Since I knew the property owners/family had never taken on this task themselves, they were really clueless as to how time intensive it was.

In an ideal partnership, everyone brings something unique to the table.

, Agent Smith, Matrix Revolutions, 2003.Bryan - I'm a recently retired US Army veteran of 20yrs that has, over the last 16yrs, bought, sold, and traded for profit a little bit of everything (jewelry to foreign currency exchange to vehicles to real estate) oth stateside and overseas by pooling the resources of a unique network of Soldiers, DOD civilians, and retirees that I have invested with and for during these last 16yrs with an acceptable rate of success.

Looking for properties when you are half a world away must be a daunting task.

Going from nothing to $3-4 million in assets in 5 years is a tall task.

I have always liked the idea of rehabbing and/or developing from scratch :) But I will leave that headache for another day :)So far I have thoroughly researched Charlotte, NC, and am keen to find some properties there; I have also looked at Austin and Houston, TX, and like the look of that market too.My big task at the moment is building a buyers list :)... fun and games!

To me hands on is being at the job site managing the workers and the tasks at hand.It also includes making the pruchases of the materials and items needed for teh rehab.

Probably at least 15 unique visits for me.And $1B debt is fine if the assets are worth $2B and throw off $150mm a year in NOI.
