1. Introduction: Why You're Here

You're probably asking yourself: "Can I really afford to hire a part-time virtual assistant for my real estate business?" or "Will I have enough work to keep them busy?" Maybe you've tried before and failed, or maybe the idea feels overwhelming. Either way, you’re in the right place.

At Property M.O.B., we’ve walked this road with hundreds of investors. We know the fear. We know the doubt. And we also know the freedom and exponential growth that comes on the other side of it.

This guide will not only show you what tasks a VA can do but also help you emotionally and logistically prepare to hand over control—and unlock your next level of growth.

2. The Emotional Rollercoaster of Hiring a VA

Hiring a VA is like hiring a business partner. It brings up fears:

But there's also hope:

We’re here to help you move through that fear with clarity.

4. Creating a Task List That Actually Frees You

Here’s a simple exercise that’s changed lives:

  1. For 48 hours, write down everything you do.
  2. Cross out anything that requires you (e.g., negotiations).
  3. Highlight what could be trained or delegated.

Congratulations—you just created your VA’s first 10 hours of weekly tasks.

Every time you do a repetitive task again, ask: Is this the last time I do this—or the last time I train someone else to do it?

5. Overcoming the Fear: Will I Have Enough Work for Them?

You will. Because your time is worth more than $6/hour.

Even just handling your marketing tasks (which are your lifeline) can easily take 10–15 hours a week. And if you stop marketing for even a week, your pipeline dries up. That's a cost you can’t afford.

You don’t need 100 tasks. You need the right 5.
