Using a VA for maintenance requests - legal?

[Armand Farr]

I'm self-managing a few of my investments in the past. I'd like to have a VA help with some of these basic things:

- Be the first point of contact for any maintenance requests
- Anything under $500 - call our handyman and get it done
- Anything above $500 - loop me in

She would NOT partake in any of the leasing / touring of the property. Literally just maintenance requests and making sure the autopay comes in.

That said, is it legal to have a VA do these activities without a license? She is on 1099, not W-2.

If it matters - our properties are in Utah and Texas.
