In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we will wrap up our deep dive into property management by exploring one of the smartest scaling tools in real estate: virtual assistants (VAs). From tenant communication to maintenance coordination and bookkeeping, VAs are changing the game for landlords, operators, and investors of all sizes.
We’re breaking down how VAs can handle everything from leasing logistics to after-hours emergency calls and why using them can make a small operation look like a Fortune 500 team.
If you’ve been overwhelmed by the day-to-day or wondering how to grow without burning out, this episode offers real solutions with tested systems and tools.
