The Top 10 Tasks Real Estate Investors Should Outsource to a Remote Assistant
Why Remote Hiring Is a Game-Changer for Real Estate Investors. Let’s face it, real estate investing isn’t just about deals and data. It’s also about scheduling calls, chasing documents, updating CRMs, and answering emails. And if you’re still doing all of it yourself? You’re not investing. You’re drowning in admin. Smart real estate professionals are turning to remote hiring to offload busywork, reclaim time, and scale faster.
Below are the 10 most common tasks investors outsource, plus how Search Party Recruiting helps you find the right assistant without resume roulette.
Task 1: Inbox and Calendar Management
A remote assistant can triage emails, schedule meetings with agents or lenders, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Task 2: CRM Cleanup and Lead Follow-Up
Outsource contact updates, follow-up tracking, and list organization. A clean CRM = more closed deals.
Task 3: Lead Generation and Research
A remote assistant can scrape data, compile prospect lists, and even qualify inbound leads—saving you hours each week.

Task 4: Vendor and Contractor Coordination
Let a VA follow up on bids, confirm timelines, and organize communication across your renovation team.
Task 5: Weekly Reporting
Outsource the formatting and tracking of deal pipelines, KPIs, and project status reports—so you only read, not build.
Task 6: Bookkeeping and Transaction Logs
A bookkeeping VA can reconcile transactions, categorize expenses, and prepare reports for your CPA.
Task 7: Listing or Property Description Drafting
Have your VA write drafts of MLS listings or social media property spotlights, pulling info from your notes or photos.
Task 8: Media & Marketing Coordination
Outsource photo requests, video scheduling, and coordinating with stagers or photographers.
Task 9: Document Collection & Docusign Tracking
Let your VA follow up on unsigned documents, resend missing contracts, and keep folders organized.
Task 10: Research for Market Trends or Comps
Give your VA criteria, and they’ll handle the rest—market data, comparable sales, neighborhood reports, etc.
