Excellent customer service.

When you showed up, he would literally have seven or ten people running all around the property doing the tear down, banging hammers and running saws. it wasn't until i started visiting his other customer sites, that I witnessed the same workers being shuttled from one house to the next for this dog and pony show.

Built close to 30 new homes, both spec and customs.

I've used VAs for a completely different business, and to do so successfully I had to take the time to write very clear instructions.My business relied completely on email and other online communications, so I have no insights on how to manage them for real time or voice related communications, but I will say that I had to tailor my VAs to those parts of the business that could tolerate turnaround times of one working day (the VAs were in Asia), and that focused on routine activities and communications with management rather than with communications with customers or actions that were not covered by established procedures.The Tim Ferris book 4-Hour Workweek turned me on to the idea of VAs, and it took me a while to warm up to the idea.

The places with good schools have zero for walkability and nightlife so you have to figure out who your customer is.That's my two cents anyway. 

One of my customers lives out of state , but he owns a 20 acre undeveloped parcel of woods near a low income area .

That's why I recommended actually getting your hair cut, you are a customer at that point... not a solicitor. 

I'd also try credit unions, sometimes they are more lax because they are always hungry for customers.

I should mention that Investor A already owns a property management company, therefore he could pick up a new customer and make 10% for management plus 1 months rent for tenant placement for any property he managed. 

As you are a potential Long term customer.
