Offshore Virtual Assistant for STR management

Sean Bramble

I'm looking at a multi-cabin STR deal that pencils out well from % a return perspective, but would involve an annoying amount of complexity managing guests when I consider the actual return in dollars I would be receiving. So outsourcing some degree of property mgmt would be a must... but the deal won't work paying a local property manager a large % of my revenue...

Instead, I would set up my "boots on the ground" (cleaners, handyman), and would need an offshore virtual assistant to manage guests and coordination of my local team. Then I could step in if sh*t hits the fan, but otherwise would be hands off.

Does anyone know what an offshore virtual assistant would cost for this per month? They would be managing 4 to 5 cabins, and I would be setting my daily rates dynamically to maximize occupancy, so this would be a consistently significant workload for the VA(s).
