What’s Really Stopping You From Hiring? (Hint: It’s Not Just Budget)

[Bob Lachance]

As real estate investors, we all hit that point where we realize we can’t do it all alone—but making the decision to hire still feels like a huge leap. After talking with dozens of investors and reflecting on our own growth journey, there seem to be three core fears that stop people from hiring:

1. Affordability – We think hiring means a major expense. But what about the cost of not hiring? Missed deals, leads slipping through the cracks, and burnout can add up quickly.

2. Hiring the Wrong Role – Many people know they need help but don’t know where to start. Lead gen? Admin? Systems? Without a clear hiring strategy, the fear of wasting time and money becomes real.

3. Hiring the Wrong Person – This fear is more emotional. A bad hire can create more problems than they solve—especially in remote roles where trust and communication matter.

The good news? These fears are common—and they’re solvable.
