Hello! I am thinking I would like to try hiring a virtual assistant to help with some landlord tasks, but I've never done this before. Has anyone ever had good experiences using Thumbtack, Upwork or Fiverr to find / hire a virtual assistant?
I'm open to hiring one based in the USA or abroad, like in the Philippines or India.
The task I am looking to hire out right now is to type up on MS Word a lease that is 10+ pages plus several addendums. Would probably have other tasks in the future with creating a pre-screening questionnaire, sending info to prospective tenants through various platforms, etc

@Eliott Elias Hello Eliott! Would you consider typing up something on MS Word a task that requires no skill or semi skilled? Do you pay the overseas workers you have hired directly or pay through an agency? Thanks!

Upwork is great. I am sure like with any of them you have to very specific on what you want. Also if you are using out of country you typically need to be very specific on due date. I seem to have problems getting things back in time from India, etc.
