I just read books and watch YouTube videos.

I would recommend making sure any contracts you use are applicable to your area.

Buildium lets you set your own application fee and collects it electronically when the applicant submits their online application (which is included in your Buildium subscription).

For the ones I handle on my own, one state limits the use of application fees to actual costs and you must return any amount not used by you if you deny the application, so might work there.  

Why limit yourself when you can do your own marketing, and get tons and tons of leads all for free.Think about driving people over to your website by doing some online marketing, and watch how many leads you can get.

Bear in mind, that advice from your attorney, accountant and/or from the State Department of WC (if applicable) certainly trumps what I communicate here.The most important consideration is to understand that how you compensate your labor may or may not excuse you from carrying WC coverage on them.

You can't restrict watching the grandkids either at certain times unless you qualify as an age restricted, senior living community or such exceptions as a non-profit, religious or the landlord lives on premises.

I am interested in engaging a virtual assistant to help create and email me monthly and annual financial reports on my properties, which currently consist of three SFR's and one parking lot (leased out NNN).I would like someone who is already knowledgeable in how to set up and create real estate investment financial reports, including key metrics that also reflect the applicable mortgage.  

@George CalbertHi George,A bunch of us are in a similar situation - living in Korea but wanting to invest in the US.We ended up forming a meetup - if you're interested in learning about it check out my profile for the URL.We've had a bunch of BP folks visit virtually and give us tips, etc.Most of the investors in our group either:* Have Turnkey investments* Have people on the ground watching their investments* Or in my case, formed a JV with people I met through BPIt's always a risk to do business with someone overseas without meeting them.
