I don't currently have a virtual assistant and really they seem to be used to do more administrative tasks but the podcast often talk about them also being able to take calls at all hours (some of them are in other countries where labor is cheaper). 

I've owned property in various states across the country, have learned some hard lessons, and now almost entirely own property that is within a 30min drive.
