Justin Nelson On Overcoming Leverage Limiting Beliefs & Exactly How to Hire VAs

We may not see it this way, but real estate isn’t as risky as we think. In fact, in many ways, we’re conditioned against taking risks, and that’s why leverage is such a hard concept for the majority of our industry. Think about the restaurant business - leverage is built in from day 1, you know that you’ll need a manager, front of house, chefs and servers so you take loans and do what you need for the business to succeed. In real estate, leverage is a line we cross kicking and screaming, and that actually harms our businesses in the long run. 

 

There are many reasons why we won’t invest in leverage - we don’t think we have the time, the money or even the ability to let go. All these reasons are barriers we can overcome. With the right strategy and roadmap, leverage is something we can implement. What are the roles that can propel out businesses if we hire them? How do we overcome our limiting beliefs about leverage? 

 

Today, founder and CEO of Rocket Sphere VA, Justin Nelson shares how VAs can make your business more valuable.
