Looking for problems to build software to solve

[James Solis]

Hi BP Fam,

As I'm starting to transition into REI, I can't help but to also think of ways I can use my certain set of skills to help the space solve problems.

In my day job I'm a fractional CTO/COO and service a handful of ecommerce clients... I also own a small agency that helps with front end site development and cofounded an app that has 250 paid customers.

I'm looking for any opportunity to solve any major pain points in this space using software. I'm not experienced enough yet to know what those are, so I'm hoping others can help contribute any ideas so that I can potentially make life easier!

Ive seen a number of tech in the space already, that revolve around:

real estate specific CRMs

Property Management Softwares

auto dialers

self storage automation 

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,

James

How about an app that makes it relatively easy to report problem tenants?

Challenges:

Following Fair Housing laws
Following credit reporting & privacy laws
Making it fair so vindictive landlords don't get out of control

Anyone that thinks this will be easy hasn't paid enough attention to all the problems Airbnb, Twitter, etc have with false reports, fake profiles, etc.
