** Hey everyone, I’m looking for insight from other STR owners/operators who have used a virtual assistant to help run their business.

I'd love to have a virtual coffee date to talk more! 

Class B rentals are a little trickier, but can still support a Flat Fee model is a PMC uses virtual assistants to cut their costs, so they can remain profitable.The REAL trouble starts when PMCs try to apply the Flat Fee model to Class C and below rentals.

Her business logo is literally her face lol.When i say she walked me through the property, it was a virtual walk through.

I would find a niche that speaks to you, whether that is wholesaling, fix and flips, building a rental portfolio or even a way to assist other investors with their endeavors as a virtual assistant to gain some income and experience  until you're ready to take on your own deals. 

The posts that have been the most helpful have been the ones where others have shared their experiences, so I'd like to share a story of when I had a virtual assistant steal $3,000 from me.

I suspect virtually all local RE investors will do well with a hold of 10 years or longer.Note prior to 2022, the cash flow picture was very different.  

I haven't done it since prior to the pandemic so maybe virtual or online options now but I used to bring interior pics of my rentals which were in excellent neighborhoods but clearly modest, builder's grade as well information on recent sales I felt were true comps.

It sounds like you’re handling this with a clear head, which is huge.Given the numbers you’ve provided, I agree with others that selling seems like the most practical path—especially since holding or refinancing could lead to more monthly losses, and you’re already carrying a hard money balance that’s tough to offset with the projected rent.That said, if you’re still marketing the property, here are a couple quick thoughts to possibly improve traction:Highlight the recent renovations clearly in the listing—buyers often overlook rehab work if it’s not framed in a compelling way.Consider incentives like a rate buy-down or closing cost credit if it helps move things faster.If the property is vacant, staging or even virtual staging could go a long way in helping buyers connect emotionally with the space.And as Jackson mentioned, short-term or mid-term rental income (if zoning allows) could help offset holding costs while you wait for a buyer.Most importantly, you’ve learned a ton from this deal—and that will pay off down the road, even if this one doesn’t finish the way you hoped.

You can use census.gov or city-data.comYou might want to hire a virtual assistant to complete the data entry for you.This a good article to help guide you in what you want to look for and where to find it. https://investingte.com/an-easy-way-to-find-trending-locatio...
