I’m all about working on your business and not in your business, and the best way to do that is to build a solid real estate team to help you with your deals. So in today’s episode, I’m going to tell you exactly how to build out a great team to help you reach your goals.
The very first step should be hiring a virtual assistant. Once you have someone on board, start outsourcing your smaller tasks to them: things like notes, sending out contracts, and researching properties. The idea is to have your VA handle the small stuff so that you can focus on the things that make the money.
I’d also suggest getting what I call a “runner.” This is someone who can work on the ground in the area you are marketing in. They can do things like take pictures of a property or set up a lockbox on the door. The best thing is, they don’t need to have any experience at all.
After that, it’s time to look at hiring a dispo manager and an acquisitions manager. The order that you do this in depends on what your role currently is: are you comfortable on the phone, talking to sellers? Then you should handle acquisitions and hire someone for dispo first, and vice versa.
