Revaya vs MyOutDesk: Which Is Better for Property Management Staffing? (2026)

If you run a property management company and you are researching remote staffing, MyOutDesk and Revaya will both come up. This is an honest comparison of how the two services actually differ, so you can pick the right model for your operation.

The short version

MyOutDesk is one of the original real estate virtual assistant companies, founded in 2008, with a large talent pool and brand recognition across many industries. Revaya is a property management specialist: candidates are skill tested in AppFolio, Yardi, Buildium and other PM platforms before you interview them, and every placement comes with an ongoing management layer. The core difference is what happens after the hire. With a VA placement service, you manage the person. With Revaya, management is part of the product.

What MyOutDesk does well

Real estate heritage and scale. MyOutDesk has served thousands of clients since 2008 and understands real estate workflows: tenant communication, lease documents, maintenance coordination, rent collection. Their vetting process is established, and their talent pool spans many industries beyond property management, which helps if you also need help in other parts of your business.

Where Revaya differs

• PM software skill testing: every Revaya candidate passes a live assessment in your PMS (AppFolio, Yardi, Buildium, Rent Manager, Entrata, RealPage) before you ever interview them. You are not training software basics from scratch.
• Management after placement: a Revaya manager runs daily check ins, end of day reports, and weekly performance tracking against KPIs like one hour first response and same day work order dispatch. There is also a property management expert on staff whom every placement can turn to when they hit a question they cannot solve alone.
• Flat all inclusive fee: $1,800–$2,400 per month full time depending on the role, covering recruiting, HR, payroll, training, QA, backup coverage, and replacement. No recruiting fees, no long term contracts.
• PM only focus: single family, multifamily, HOA, and short term rental operators are the entire client base, so playbooks, KPIs, and training are property management specific.

Who should choose MyOutDesk

If you want a well known, established VA provider, need talent across several industries, and you have the internal bandwidth to manage, train, and retain your assistant yourself, MyOutDesk is a solid choice with a long track record.

Who should choose Revaya

If you are a property management operator who wants a team member who already knows your software, hits defined SLAs, and is actively managed by someone else, Revaya is built for exactly that. Most clients interview vetted candidates within about two weeks and see contribution in week one.

FAQ

Is Revaya cheaper than MyOutDesk?

Which is better for AppFolio users?

Revaya skill tests candidates in AppFolio before interviews and maintains AppFolio specific training, which is the deeper bench for AppFolio dependent operations.
