Setting up Systems and Automations to Scale Efficiently

Описание: In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we dig into one of the biggest levers for scaling your real estate business: systems and automations. We break down how to move from being the self-employed investor who answers 2 a.m. toilet calls to becoming a true business owner with structure, processes, and the right people in place.

We walk through systemizing lead generation, deal analysis, acquisitions, property management, maintenance, rent collection, investor relations, and team communication, and we share practical ways to integrate tools like CRMs, project management platforms, smart tech, and virtual assistants so you can reduce decision fatigue and focus on higher-value work.

If you’re serious about scaling your rental portfolio, fix-and-flip pipeline, or build-to-rent operation without burning out, this episode will help you design systems that actually support the life and business you want.
