If you read their TOS they have virtually unilateral clawback ability, in some cases months later. 

A client of ours bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.After our engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 into either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his first year of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.As a reminder, the bonus depreciation rate in 2025 is back to 100%, it's still an incredibly valuable tool.

Has anyone used a virtual assistant to login data into a Excel spreadsheet like for instance, if I'm interested in foreclosure can I give to virtual assistant the websites that I want to look into and have them log the information as far as how much the bid amount I am willing to go up to.

Local REI meetups (search Meetup.com or Facebook)Virtual masterminds – many are free and have investors from all over the countryBe specific when you reach out:Instead of just “I want to get started,” try:“I’m looking to buy my first out-of-state rental in the $100–150K range and need help choosing a market and vetting property managers.”The more focused your ask, the easier it is for experienced investors to plug in and help.Also - I’m happy to help.I work with new investors all the time and can share sample deals, walk through strategy, or help you avoid common traps - whether you’re thinking turnkey, BRRRR, or just trying to pick your first market.Just say the word, and I’ll point you in the right direction.

As for finding investors in new markets, I’ve seen a lot of success through Facebook investor groups and virtual real estate meetups.

And a short-term rental can work well in virtually any market.Really? 

Even my local clients communicate with me virtually post-Covid.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1222774-expla...Another point explained in this post is that we are not allowed to tell you "I will be happy to help you" until/if the moderators move your post into Classifieds.

Is your time or that or your team better spent focusing on one area or is it large enough to be able to give 110% to all aspects.Remember, the products you are looking at are well used and often by those long distance which means they are looking in your area . . . we have looked into some of these tools and could not justify the cost versus the competition using the same tools often by virtual assistants working for a few dollars / hour. 

I wholesale virtually nationwide, running my own ad campaigns and some other lead gen strategies.

I hadn't thought about it being out of country virtual assistants that don't adhere to the do not call list or "remove me" request.
