Even with a manager around, you still have to oversee your properties from a distance. And that entails some challenges and much work, especially when doing it all by yourself.
How do you make things manageable and everything working without micromanaging your managers?
Sharad Mehta has done over 400 deals in the last six years since he became a full-time real estate investor, and over the years, he has developed systems to automate many parts of his real estate investing. Sharad is a very active investor in the Lake County, Indiana market. Using the systems that Sharad has developed, he is able to manage 3-4 rehabs a month from a distance.
In this episode, Sharad shares how he believes in systems and processes to run the business and to have all the checks and balances, so you know what's working and what is not. And improving those that don't, especially where managing properties from afar is concerned.
