Gabe, I’d love for you to tell me a little bit about your real estate investing journey—how you got started and how you got to where you are today.

Yeah, Adrienne, thank you for having me on the show. Super excited to jump into this. Hopefully, I can drop some wisdom for someone just getting started in real estate. I got started in real estate back in 2014 with my first flip with a friend. Pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong. It was a triplex in Tacoma. One tenant had a grow house in their unit, which sent the energy bill skyrocketing. Another tenant stopped paying rent as soon as we bought it, and when we gave him an eviction notice, he flooded the unit before leaving. The third tenant was good, but we were left with a completely destroyed unit.

Leverage is what separates investors stuck in the grind from those scaling to freedom. Today, we’re talking about one of the most powerful forms of leverage—a virtual team. Virtual assistants can handle the operational tasks that take up too much of your time, allowing you to focus on the work that truly grows your business. In this post, I’ll show you exactly which tasks to offload, how to find, train, and manage a VA effectively, and the biggest mistakes to avoid.

I first started working with virtual assistants in my real estate agent business. I was a solo agent in a new market and brought on a full-time VA to manage operations and busywork. Within six months, I had so much business that I built a real estate agent team, eventually growing it into a saleable asset that I later sold. Seeing that success, I wondered how I could use VAs in my real estate investing business. I quickly realized they were the perfect solution for handling forms, coordinating tasks, and managing tenant and guest messages. Now, because of my virtual assistants, I can travel the world full-time with my family while my real estate business in the U.S. runs seamlessly.
