You will be able to build a team. Having an assistant will help you to practice your skills at hiring, training, and managing team members. They are the ideal "starter employee" because they are not difficult to find and can immediately begin doing simple tasks for you. And, there is almost always an immediate use for their help. They will help prepare you to hire other team members when the time comes, if you so desire, such as a salesperson, renovations supervisor, or a purchasing representative.

You will have a better lifestyle. Isn’t this one of the reasons why you got into real estate to begin with? When I started my real estate investment company, I had visions of lying around on the beach somewhere, living the good life while the rent money poured in. Then, I found out there’s actually a lot of work involved. A good assistant will give you your life back so you can spend it with your family, working on hobbies, or working on your business (which is always more fun than working in it).

I have hired, trained, and managed personal assistants for years. I would never have experienced all of the benefits above if I had been stuck trying to do it all myself (and failing). A good personal assistant will not only help you to grow your business — they will give you your life back. Alan Brymer
