But really... where we took the conversation was in a much larger scope, a much larger frame of the impact AI is going to have on real estate as a whole. One of the first questions the moderator asked us as the panel was, do we believe that AI is going to basically take over the space for real estate?

which depending upon where you're at in your journey of real estate, that could be something you're thinking about. Maybe it's not, but it is something that some of the big players, the hedge fund managers, the very, very large syndicators, some of the banks, they had intrigue on that question. And the reason being is because if some of these larger players

The hedge funds, the banks, the syndicators, insurance companies had a really big intrigue on this question. Um, property management had a really big, uh, interest on this question because some of these larger players, and I'm talking about national property management, not mom and pop. I'm talking about national because they still rely so heavily on human capital. Okay.

And so I actually was the first one that spoke up about this and I kind of went off. Um, and the reason why I went off is because I believe, and it's just an opinion. I believe there will be no way to fully automate the real estate space. Now, do I firmly believe AIs come and is gonna play an impact and impact the real estate place? Yes. It's just too big, too smart, moving too fast.

It is gonna have a massive impact. I'm not ignorant to that. But still, my belief within the space is there's going to always have to be some human component inside each transaction. Right. We were talking about title companies was another one that had a massive interest in understanding is AI just going to take it over. And let me give you my perspective on this one thing.

I run a company called Rocketly.ai. Rocketly.ai. I built a company with my co-founder and you guys should check it out. If you are a small operator in the real estate space, I'm plugging it now. Rocketly.ai. It will help you massively if you're doing any level of marketing spend to your company, okay? Now, so I'm very familiar with AI, the impact of AI and where it can go. But I don't believe...

For the operators, and I'm talking about the people operating the insurance companies, the title companies, the real estate, you know, mom and pop, fix and flippers, and even the hedge fund companies, the people actually operating it, I don't believe they'll ever be able to be fully removed. The reason being, there's a lot of nuance within real estate.

I don't believe there'll ever be a one size fits all analysis AI component. This question led in directly, you know, the question regarding is AI going to take over the real estate space led in directly to, you know, is there a program or an AI that can just make analyzing properties faster and accurate? That one task alone, in my humble opinion, and listen, I'm not the smartest person out there.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I just have a lot of experience in real estate. I don't believe based on the nuance of real estate, right? A storage facility versus apartment, a four unit versus a five unit, a single family asset versus a duplex, a 400 door complex versus a 1200 door complex. There's so much nuance. And there's so many people on the money side, right?

The people who invest, the companies that invest, the hedge funds that invest, that have different buy boxes. They have nuanced criteria that will fit their buy box. I just do not believe that there'll be any type of technology that is a one size fits all. Do I believe there could be 42 versions that might be implemented? That might be a possibility.
