How much would you pay for a virtual assistant?

[Adam Faber]

Hey everybody! Quick question for you guys -

So I know this isn't a new idea, and it's been floating around in my head for a while, is there a need for a good virtual assistant for vacation rentals? 

I'm talking about a service that does customer service, i.e. talk to guests in a timely manner, answers questions, screens tenants (with approval of owner maybe?). Property owners would still be responsible for all the "on the ground" tasks. Would it be beneficial to have someone that is an expert in vacation rentals, vs just some offshore VR thats extremely cheap?

I would imagine a flat rate, monthly fee would be a good way to go with this. Perhaps one fee for handling communications or whatnot during the regular work day, and another fee for handling it all the time. 

Is this a service that is still needed and what would an investor be willing to pay for this? 

Thanks so much!
