Hire an engineer to help you draft specifications and a create a solid contract that dictates pay apps.  

I'm just in the brainstorming phase on using a retail space as a "collaborative workspace" where freelancers and small business owners can rent shared office space.   

Since there will be a total of 27 properties to take care of and I really enjoy my job, I'm not sure if I should hire a property manager to take care of the properties and keep my job with benefits or quit my job and just focus on the 27 properties myself and that would be my full time job.

If it means that you're not very good at conceptualizing what needs to be done, and how much it costs, you should have someone good assist you/do it for you, even if it means hiring someone (depending on the size of your business), because getting the math wrong will mean the difference between success and bankruptcy, and this is even more true the further down the ladder you go in terms of profit margins. 

Currently on our site I'm the go to person for any excel/coding/macro jobs and have previously been an IT administrator.The purpose of this post is to gauge if there would be any interest in people hiring virtual assistants that aren't at a super low rate and if anyone has any advice or criticism for me.I would be very open to any other opportunities BP members suggest as well.Thanks for taking the time to read my post.PS: I wasn't 100% sure which sub forum to put this post in.

Those companys hire/fire based upon contracts or the lack of them.
