Newbie Question :Probates or Absentee Owners ..VA's or "do it yourself" for beginners

Hi Everyone,

For a newbie, which is better to start with Probates or Absentee Owners? I'm sure with probates its a little more complex and the potential "angry callers" can become a little scary for a newbie. And with someone just starting like a college student with limited start up capital is it a good idea to hire a VA or should they do everything themselves?

Rachelle, in my experience I got better results with Probates than with absentee owners. In regards the VA I think you should do everything yourself since you are starting out. As you become more experience you can start delegation some tasks.
