Co-ordinating the tasks involved in real estate investing and time management can be a big challenge for most real estate investors.

Life can get pretty hectic when you are marketing to your leads, buying and selling houses, or any other tasks you do as a real estate investor. One of the biggest challenges for most real estate investors is to manage their time properly and co-ordinate all the tasks involved in real estate investing.



Life can get pretty hectic when you are marketing to your leads, buying and selling houses, or any other tasks you do as a real estate investor.



The lack of keeping up with daily tasks can mean lost opportunities and missing good deals you would otherwise do.

In this article we point out how to become more efficient and close more deals while spending less money, time and effort.



Several things need to be in place to run a successful real estate investing business:



1) Real estate investor website

When you start investing in real estate, a real estate investor website must be one of the first things you get. A good website must serve several important tasks:



i) It tells your story for you

ii) It must attract and capture leads for you

iii) It must actively follow up with the leads using in-built follow-up autoresponders to increase conversion

iv) It must pre-screen leads for you and pre-negotiate with them for you

v) It must have inbuilt tools to sell houses, and actively build your buyers lists to sell your houses faster as well as contact management tools to market to your mailing lists

vi) It must be equipped with squeeze pages and E-books for targeted marketing

vii) It must be equipped with automation features such as reminders and autoresponder



These are only a few guidelines that work to make your work easier and more efficient. Check the end of this article for a recommended website.



2) Personal assistant

This is the person who does all those little tasks that would otherwise tie you down. Marketing alone is enough to overwhelm you if you have nobody to help you.



If you have to do it all yourself, you can easily find yourself frustrated.



A virtual assistant is very easy to find in a market full of job seekers. A simple posting on Craigslist can give you over 100 applicants for such a position.



In my business, all my leads come through my real estate investor website. About half of them will sign up directly on the website, and the other half prefer to call. The ones that sign up are deleivered fully pre-screened.



When a prospect calls, they must be motivated enough to leave a voice message.



My virtual assistant then returns their call and pre-screens them for me as she enters all the necessary information on my website. My leads therefore all come fully pre-screened and pre-negotiated, taking me just a few minutes to tell if to follow up or not.



Of course there are many other tasks you can delegate to a virtual assistant to make your work more efficient.



3) Power team

A team of professionals that deliver real estate services associated with your business is a must. You must have a real estate attorney or title company, inspector, contractors, real estate agents, etc that you need from time to time.



You end up delegating most parts of your business to these people so that you increase efficiency and close more deals.



When you are buying and selling houses, repetitive daily tasks can bog you down leaving you with little time to close real estate deals. Find out how an automated real estate investor website can drastically cut down your work and increase efficiency so you close more deals using less time, money and effort.
