Has anyone used VAs (virtual assistants) for help with managing properties and tenants?

Hire a good property manager like @Jackelyn Lee if you need assistance. 

Feel free to DM me with anything I can assist with.  

In our opinion, an investor should only work with agents that meet at least one of the following:1) Own rentals themselves for at least 3 years, at least one of them they bought below market.2) Have a 3-5 year track record of rental transactions, that they can document.3) Know how to calculate 1% Rule, ROI, NOI, etc. and demonstrate how to actually apply them to assist an investor client.4) Have access to tired investors selling their rentals.5) (what can you add here?)

Has anyone on here had experience utilizing a virtual assistant to help with property management?
