Using Virtual Assistant as a Property Manager

[Nicholas Q.]

I've seen a lot of discussions on VAs, but nothing that I can find that specifically addresses this question. Does anyone use a VA as their property manager?

I'd like to fire my property manager and do it myself, but use a VA to handle all thing PM related. I think I could easily write out procedures for receiving work requests, sending letters for late rent, obtaining bids from contractors, etc. I think the challenging part would be the tenant replacement part, but I still think vetting prospective tenants could mostly be done virtually. I live close enough to meet tenants after done selecting has been done.

Any thoughts?

@Nicholas Q. We use VAs or we call them RTMs (Remote Team Members) in our management operation for our property manager teams so you taking the role of the PM in theory and then having someone assist with processes you document then it is very realistic.  There are also specific companies in the US that source or have call centers that specialize in property management.  It costs a couple more dollars an hour but it reduces the learning curve and turnover.
