Hello everybody I am a new investor and I am so lost on how to hire a virtual assistant and train them on how to find off-market deals.

Both of you sign it, you give her $300 and a copy of the letter, and then you're done.If you hire an attorney, this is exactly what they will do but they'll charge you $300 for the letter. 

Hire an attorney that knows what they're doing and get the ball rolling immediately.

My concern is whether I should hire a property manager or try to manage it myself.

Handyman fails to finish the job or does it poorly and you're stuck hiring someone else to fix it AND you've lost all that rent you gave away.Rent is rent.

@Kellie Davis It sounds like you are looking to be hired as a contractor for something REI related. 

I know most answers will be "ask your CPA or hire one."

Not sure if you're taking this on yourself or if you're hiring someone to do it, but just know concrete counter tops are challenging to get right, as Joe mentioned.

It is cheaper for a bank to pay a broker for a loan than the bank to hire personnel, have brick & mortar, HR and myriad of other costs associated with a large scale included bad public relations when the layoffs come with the next recession.The price you get directly from a bank is called “retail price” since a bank is like a retail store.The price a broker gets from a bank is “wholesale pricing" since the broker is bringing lender and borrower together. 

Now lending wants to require that I hire out the management.
