VPM Solutions vs. MyOutDesk:
Which Virtual Assistant Model Fits
Your Property Management Company?
A side-by-side comparison of two very different ways to hire virtual assistant support for your property management company.
Quick answer: VPM Solutions is the better fit for property management companies that want to own the hiring relationship, control cost by negotiating directly with the VA, and match specifically on property management skill sets, without a company-side platform fee or a 6-12 month subscription lock-in. MyOutDesk is a fully managed staffing subscription: it works if you'd rather hand off employment, compliance, and replacement entirely to a provider, in exchange for less flexibility and less direct ownership of the hire.
If you're evaluating virtual assistant support for your property management company, VPM Solutions and MyOutDesk represent two fundamentally different ways to get help: a marketplace where you hire and manage a contractor directly, versus a managed staffing subscription where the provider owns the employment relationship.
