As a wholesaler, you have plenty of things you have to do. Becoming super productive is vital, but you don't have to do everything. There are some ways to get help, and outsourcing specific tasks can certainly make you more productive.
Before you start outsourcing, you will need to find a good virtual assistant. With a good virtual assistant, you can outsource multiple tasks to the same person instead of finding someone for each task. Check Fiverr.com, Freelancer.com and Upwork.com for good virtual assistants.
Tasks You can Outsource
There are several tasks a virtual assistant can handle for you including:
Social Media Posting and Marketing
Database Management
Website Design
List Scraping/Cleaning
Cold Calling
And More!
You can also use your virtual assistant to organize your email, and for many other tasks. Let's take a look at how you can outsource some of the main tasks and become more productive.
Social Media Posting and Marketing
You can use your virtual assistant to handle posts and marketing on social media for you. In fact, some VAs specialize in social media. It could be something that takes up an hour of your time every day or just every week, but outsourcing this task means more time in your day and the ability to do more through social media channels.
Database Management
Virtual assistants are great for database projects. Whether you need a list of potential sellers built or you need a list reorganized, your VA can handle these tasks.
Website Design
You don't need to spend thousands on a professional website designer with the right VA. Many can handle web design projects including creating graphics and content.
List Scraping/Cleaning
Your VA has the ability to go through FSBO.com, Craigslist and other sites to create lists for you through list scraping. They can even handle cold calling to help find sellers for you. Just make sure the VA you choose for phone tasks has great phone etiquette and speaks fluent English.
A good VA can even help to qualify your buyers and ensure your list is up-to-date. This will save you time as you will always know you have an active list of buyers for each of your deals.
Outsourcing may seem scary, at first. However, when you find the right VA or a couple of good VAs you won't have as much fear. Make sure you interview your VA options and speak to them on the phone, if they will be doing any phone work for you. With the right virtual assistants, you can outsource many tasks, gain time and become more productive as a wholesaler.

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."
- La'Donna Turnipseed-Scott, Investor, LA
"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."

Your patience and persistence were exceptional in dealing with our business interests. Thank you for such great customer service! We look forward to working with your staff, again, in the future. We like referring people to you, as us, our team would have missed-out on an excellent earning opportunity.
