part time assistant as contractor?

[Daniel Murphy]

Hello, I'm basically just trying to feel the waters out a bit.

We are planning (hoping) for my wife to leave her corporate job in January. Currently, she's helping a real estate investor friend part time. He's a one man show who's been too busy doing deals to organize his business.

My wife was a realtor for a bit, spent some time running a small real estate office. She works in commercial property management and has also spent some time doing real estate contract reviews.

I'm bias, but she's amazing. Anyone else she's worked for will agree. She's quick, extremely organized and detail oriented.

All that lead up to say, is there a market for a part time 1099 assistant for independent real estate investors? Our ideal scenario would be to find a few people for her to work for. In a short period, she's already systematized my friends business and freed up his time enough to scale much larger.

I know she's a benefit, but is there a market? 

Just posing the question out there to have some realistic expectations. Thanks for listening!
