You don’t just need a general admin—you need someone who understands tenant turnover, screening multiple tenants per unit, handling lease coordination, and managing communication between roommates (which can get messy fast).A solid VA for this model should be able to:Screen inquiries and prequalify tenants based on house rules.Manage listings on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Zillow, and Roomster.Coordinate move-ins/move-outs and track leases for each tenant.Handle maintenance requests and keep an eye on potential conflicts between tenants.Chase rent payments if needed.If you’re thinking about hiring one, I’d focus on VAs with property management or co-living experience—not just someone who has worked in real estate generally.

Either can work, or either can be a huge pain, but that's the reality of common area ownerships.I've worked on some small 2-3 unit condos like this doing the condo plans and the CC&Rs have always included provisions for financials, budget etc. as well as dispute resolution.

We put this in our offers to differentiate ourselves from other offers and we can write off this expense as a tax deduction.

For this reason, I often recommend setting up separate LLCs for Illinois investments.
