So the cloning comes in with the great tools we have - flight, text, fax, cell phones, computers, hired help, the internet and credit cards.So with the help of all these great devices.......cloning is now possible.I am your clone, at your disposal, how can I serve you?

So the added expense of a high end camera is not real worth it for us.The phone is compact, always fully charged, always with me & it does take excellent hi res pics that I can enlarge on it & has great video.

We also do a little bit of back end work such as data entry, converting JPEG files to word, etc etc.I was on a call with a BiggerPockets member this morning and he mentioned he hired a VA who is pulling list for him from county records that he is planning to mail on.

Do you research the special proceedings file yourself or hire a paralegal?

I would always prefer to do/hire out the work myself to insure its done well.....sellers can't be trusted!

@Alfredo GonzalezC  all of the big brokerages will generally hire anyone.  

If your goal is to own the property but have essentially no day-to-day involvement in the business of the vacation rental -- you don't talk to potential guests, you don't maintain the calendar, you don't coordinate housekeeping -- hire a real legal licensed vacation rental manager.  

I would like to build up my rolodex - i'm looking to meet with people who I could hire as part of our "Crew" (handymen, contractors, inspectors, and general hands on repair and mgmt people). 

It is all available virtually for free at pacer.5.

Hopefully it's easier in your state than it is in mine, it's virtually impossible to get a CCW permit here in MD.
