VAs, AI & Smarter Operations — Behind the Scenes of a Family Syndication Group Call

VAs, AI & Smarter Operations — Behind the Scenes of a Family Syndication Group Call

Author: Mark & Tamiel Kenney June 8, 2023 Duration: 17:23

What does it actually look like when multifamily investors use virtual assistants and AI in their day-to-day business? Not the theory — the real workflows, real costs, and real trade-offs.

This episode takes you inside a Family Syndication Group members-only call, where three investors share exactly what they're doing and how it's working.

In this episode you will learn:

• How Jeff McKee grew his LinkedIn connections from 5,000 to 9,500 in 18 months using a $5.50/hour VA — and the targeting strategy that made it work

• The difference between OnlineJobs.ph and managed VA services like Rocket Station — and when each makes sense

• How Justin Francis uses Asana as a real-time rent-ready board at the property level — with staff, vendors, and VAs all in the same system

• Why George Cline chose local contractors over overseas VAs — and what that trust-based model looks like in practice

• A live demo of Fireflies.ai — the meeting transcription tool that cut one team member's recap work in half

• Spinach.io and ChatGPT for Excel — two free or low-cost AI tools that are quietly saving serious time

This is the kind of peer-to-peer conversation you normally only get inside a paid membership community.
