I personally use Quickbooks online and have a virtual (remote/nonlocal) bookkeeper.

I did hire a VA to cold call like 12,000 people and it was useless.

The first one to hire would be the accountant.

@Ryan WasherHey everyone, I'd be interested in attending an in-person or virtual meet up also.

Do I need to hire a property management company to obtain the rental license? 

I understand they need to turn a profit and pay for overhead, but the minimum they should pay a cold caller is $5.When I hired my first cold callers, I outsourced it to an agency, then I brought it in house.

I would love to sit down sometime and connect over a cup of coffee or virtually.

It sounds like you don't need a co-host, you need a Virtual Assistant, as @Alex F. says.

As far as hiring the other trades, this can be difficult from a distance, who is helping locally?

I think they meet in person, but not sure it may be on zoom - they are not members of MAREI, so I don't have all the info - they do post their meeting on Meetup.And there are a lot of virtual meetings, plus MAREI events on our calendar.
