Hey guys, I'm admittedly still doing too much research and not enough action but I'm curious if anyone is utilizing virtual assistants to feed your funnel for deals?

For large apartment buildings we provide the tenants with coin operated machines.

They put lipstick on a pig (spent a few grand if that on cheap flooring and a coat of paint), placed an above-market tenant in each unit, and then turned around and sold it via online auction where they can hide behind a contract that gives the purchaser virtually no protection and no recourse. 

I'm sure you could also find a virtual assistant to make the calls.

@Jay HinrichsIf they go dark, its eviction time...but good tenants falling behind I work with them...better than a turnover/vacancy to me... turn over KILLS landlords but it does depend on the area and the type of rental.. sometimes in super hot rental markets little bit of cleaning and you have tenants lined up to move in 3 days after the last ones left   ( like Portlandia)  other types of rentals you have to paint virtually everytime you turn.. and other assorted damages.. wear and tear house is now vacant 30 days sometimes more.. turnover is 1 to 2k  especially if you are not there doing it yourself.. 

Buying the machines, collecting the money and depositing it, maintaining the machines.

There are a few drawbacks to desktop, such as it can't easily be accessed by  more than one person at a time and if you use a MAC you have to download fusion (a virtual machine software) so as a MAC user you can run Windows applications.
