Post: Virtual Assistant for your VRs

Has anyone used a virtual assistant for your VRs? 

I spend a little time answering the typical Airbnb and VRBO requests, then programming my electronic door lock, and making sure cleaners are coming the days they are scheduled for turn overs.

I truly want to make this passive, as I am in the Army and I could leave and not have access to my phone. additionally, the long term goal is to make this completely passive so I can travel when I retire.

I know there is a cohost feature on Airbnb, and you can hire a company if they are in your area, but I am curious about virtual assistants. 

I have read about upwork.com on this site, is there any others?

I have a few S Tampa properties, but deals are hard to find in todays market. I would look in the south county Riverview, Gibsonton, Ruskin area. lots of growth down there. plus they are talking about another amazon warehouse down that way.

remove anything about remodeled, this would only be good if you are selling it. The photos will speak for the quality and currency of the property. try not to list the property like you are selling it.

honestly, my only advise is if you have a home that big, go out and spend money on someone to put together a description, photos, website, and a marketing package. if you are doing this one your own, you are missing the mark.

there are two types of houses in FL. those that have termites, and those that will have termites. 

get a professional to figure out which type of termite you have. they will tent or trench (or both) the house. you can trench and protect yourself if you want to save the cost.

You train your housekeeper to do what you need/want them to do. If they cant do it, then you move on to someone else.

Rincon is beautiful. it got beat up by the hurricane, but will make a comeback. Its a good location, because its a surfing community.

I am also keeping an eye on the market and what happens as well. If there is enough of us, maybe we can work something together.

One STR for me. Pay through zello, after each turn over.
