How can I empower my partner?

Eric Willliamson

Hey there,

My fiancé and I recently bought our first property, a triplex. I took the lead on this one, having read multiple books, listened to podcasts, attended REIA meetings, and met with investors.

I have a full-time job, which I don’t plan on leaving any time soon. She has been helping with the on-the-ground operations rehabbing the place. (It’s a steep learning curve)

I’ve been thinking of ways to empower her to become more of a 50/50 partner. I know she feels like I’m running the show.

What are some other real estate professions that could give her skills, knowledge and insight to our developing real estate business? Also, what is the best way to enter those fields? It seems redundant to just giver her the same resources I've been using. I’ve listed a few ideas below, but I’m sure I haven’t thought of everything.

Real estate agent (sounds easy to get into but spotty for those starting out)

Mortgage broker (I haven’t seen any job posts for this)

RE assistant

Leasing agent

Thanks for all feedback!
