Want to work less, make more, and do it all by spending as little as five dollars per hour? Great! You’ll need to know how to hire a virtual assistant for real estate investing. Doing so can free up hours (or even days) of your time per week, letting someone else, who might have even more experience than you, help grow your business/real estate portfolio while YOU focus on the things YOU do best. Not only that, virtual assistants are often cheaper, faster, and better at tasks you've considered only for full-time employees.

We use virtual assistants daily in our real estate businesses and wouldn’t accomplish half as much as we do without them. These crucial team members are so integral to growing your real estate portfolio that we decided we needed an entire episode dedicated to them. So, we brought a former virtual assistant, now leader of HireTrainVA.com, Valentina Brega, to the show to share her advice on vetting, hiring, and training a top-tier (but surprisingly affordable) virtual assistant.

Valentina stresses (and we agree) that EVERY rookie real estate investor NEEDS a virtual assistant to scale faster. She'll teach you when the right time to hire one is, exactly how much they cost, what type of work you should delegate out to a virtual assistant, where to find a virtual assistant, and the virtual assistant-vetting checklist you can use to find one who will help take your business to new heights!

In This Episode We Cover:

How to get the highest return on investment (ROI) from renovations and amenities
