If they are legal to live and/or work in the US they will have the proper paperwork and be issued the proper numbers to track them and run checks.

May be another way to assist in you finding one.

Hey Terrance, I'm glad to connect with you and could be of benefit in any areas you may need assistance with.

They even have very tight rules as to what our assistants can and can't do, such as if I were to hire a non-licensed secretary or whatever.

you have to find an off market deal that is distressed but not too distressed, buy it and close on it, have a contractor that you trust lined up to rehab it, oversee the rehab to be sure it stays on track, get it rent ready and then rented out, and then / in parallel refinance.how will you execute those steps in any market?

However, you can't apply any of these restrictions for assistance animals like a guide dog or an emotional support animal. 

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. 

I can help you fill your vacancy in your Bethlehem, NH property throughout the summer season, please send me a PM at your earliest convenience, and I’d be happy to discuss how I can assist you.Best regards, Jacob
