I'm Recruiting Virtual Assistants to work on comission..

I had a virtual assistant send me a private message asking if he could work for me. He has a strange name so he might be out of the Country, I told him I wanted him to research public records for Tax delinquents, probates, and evictions. I wud pay him 10% of profits from any deals he found me. He then wanted to know how to get access to this info. I told him it's all free public records and it was up to him to figure out how to do it, because I didn't know.
He was concerned and said he wanted to make 2-3 hundred dollars a month. I explained my smaller deals pay $2,500 and it goes up to $15,000 and I was actually working on a deal that was paying out $28,000.
Wouldn't it be a kick in the butt to have this guy produce results?
What if I found multiple people to do this?
Maybe I can help him, Does anybody have experience getting public info online?
