New year, same question. Where to find the best people?

[Elias Pappan]

Being the new year and all, I am feeling like everyone else, "New Year, New Me," working up annual goals and determined to hit them. One of my goals this year is to build up my network, which brought me to Bigger Pockets. After reading the books and listening to the audio, I decided it is about time to get back to my roots and start doing vs simply listening, which is basically how I got into real estate in the first place. 

So, with that said, I figured I would start out my first post by reaching out to the resources right in front of me to help solve a topic I have been battling with. Most of us know what it takes to start, run and sustain a business and for those of us that don't, the hurdles will soon reveal themselves. It's hard to keep up with the day to day working in your business let alone come up for a breath of fresh air and get the chance to work ON your business. To help support the efforts and keep overhead down, I have recently been researching the world of Virtual Assistants. The problem that I now have is, I almost need a Virtual Assistant to find me the right Virtual Assistant. 

I know that there huge benefit to shifting tasks to someone that will be more timely and probably even better at them than me. The question I have is where to get started? Has anyone had great luck with their Virtual Assistant? It seems like sites such as Upwork and Fiverr have so many options it is tough to make the right selection. 

Any feedback or suggestions would be great! 

Thanks!
