BiggerPockets Podcast Featuring Isabelle Guarino-Smith

Recently, Isabelle was featured on the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast where she sat down with David Greene and Rob Abasolo to discuss the hottest investment strategy that not enough people are talking about.

“Nothing is recession-proof, but this is probably as recession-resistant as you could get. Because when money gets tight, you know what you pull back on is those high-end items, that European vacation, that Disney trip with the kids. You stop going to Airbnb. You stop buying nice items, but you’re not going to stop paying for your loved one’s care. You just don’t do that.”

If you already know all about the investment potential found in Residential Assisted Living, or if this is your first time hearing about it, this podcast episode is definitely one that you’ll want to make time for.

Employee Spotlight

Meet Blair Perri

A graduate of Northern Arizona University with a major in Hospitality and a minor in Human Resources, Blair is the Director of Human Resources here at the RAL Academy. His passion for engaging with people, helping them solve problems, and creating opportunities for them to excel makes him an excellent addition to our team. He is happily married and living in Denver with his two dogs, and when he is not at work you will often find him enjoying the outdoors.

Whether it’s walking around downtown or being up in the mountains, he finds that spending time outside really grounds him and allows him to think clearly. Some of his favorite hobbies include skiing, traveling, and watching movies.

Blair jumps at opportunities to get outside of his comfort zone, and finds that doing this is a great way to continue growing and learning, both at work and in his personal life.

He values a positive mentality, treating others the way he would want to be treated, and taking every opportunity to help others when they need it.

Blair finds that it is an incredibly rewarding experience to help people grow and discover their passions.

“What I love most is that I get to help our contractors grow with the company and within their overall careers. I also love that RAL does incredible things for people, which resonates with my HR heart.”

His advice for people just starting out in the RAL industry… “Remain focused on the end goal, and do not give up when faced with challenges. It won’t always be easy, but the road traveled is well worth it. Be patient and remember that when you reach your goals it will be truly rewarding.”
