Basically, there are people trying to sell you comprehensive real estate packages, with very little transparency and almost no knowledge sharing until you fork over anywhere from $3000-$12,000 for a mentoring program.

For those investors who have had experience with using a Virtual Assistant (VA), please shed some light on what types of packages you might find the most useful. 

After spending about a day researching other options (that also support weekly ACH rent payments, so no cozy.co), I realized maybe the vanishing ACH payment debacle with erentpayment was good for me, because I only lost $113.50 and could benefit from a more robust PM software package anyway. 

Typically they have a website with their terms and packages explained.

Basic package is $200 or so.

This may sound stupid, but the thing which determined me to buy my last plan from a design firm rather than come up with it on my own like @Aaron Mazzrillo is doing was that I couldn't figure out how to get a building package that my building inspector would accept.

Check this wonderful thing out:The concepts surrounding both the rulings and the Code allow for a self-employed individual to employ his/her spouse who is active in the business, and to offer that employed-spouse a medical benefits package.

(I purchased them as a package deal).  

A few more 1Trillion+ welfare, uh I mean stimulus packages will just about do the trick.

Paperwork standardization – Banks are all using their own short sale packages today.
