Ep 605 – Virtual Teams And Systems For Property Management With Real Estate Investor And Entrepreneur Dan Butler
Property management may not be the most profitable space in the real estate industry, but someone’s got to do it, right? Luckily, real estate investor and property management expert Dan Butler figured out a way to bring profitability back to property management – by building a virtual team with teammates working remotely. Through this virtual team strategy, Dan went from being a solopreneur trying to do it all to building his own business, CrestCore Realty LLC, which relies on virtual assistants and systems. As a business owner, you are often the most productive person on your team. With the virtual option, you can delegate most of the back office work to your remote team while you focus on the things that you need to worry about the most. Learn how Dan does just that in this interview with host, Scott Carson.
