As your portfolio grows, it can become overwhelming to keep track of everything. Even if you have property management, you still need to oversee the property managers, respond to emails, organize your documents, make sure all the bills are paid, and every other little thing related to your investment properties. But how do you find the right person to help you without busting your budget? In this episode, I am joined by my husband, co-founder, and RealWealth CEO, Rich Fettke, and the CEO of a company that's provided the kind of help that he needed to scale our business, our personal portfolio, and make it easier for us as time goes on. Our special guest is Tricia Sciortino of Belay Solutions. She earned a degree in Business Administration and Management from the University of Hartford. Worked as District Manager for the retail chain Pacific Sunwear for ten years. And the, she decided to take her chances with a startup called Belay, during the recession. Over the next ten years, she's moved from Director, Vice President, President, and COO to her current position at Belay's CEO. Rich discovered Belay more than five years ago. He's hired two executive assistants, and a couple of bookkeepers from Belay, and they've worked out so well that he wanted to share his experience with our listeners and other RealWealth investors. You'll find out in this interview how Belay chooses only the top 1% of its applicants and how Belay carefully matches them with clients. No worries. You don't have to hire someone full-time. You can start off slowly as you decide exactly how much help you'll need. Rich began by hiring an executive assistant for three hours a week. That was expanded to ten hours a week. And now, Rich and I share an executive assistant who's working for us full time. We also have a personal bookkeeper, and another bookkeeper to help with RealWealth finances. You can also get a discount through RealWealth to help get you started with Belay. Go to belaysolutions.com/realwealth to find out more about that.
