Creativity -- helping or hurting the market?

[Richard Libutti]

Hey there, 

I will keep things short and simple, but I will introduce myself and pose an open-ended question with some color as I am genuinely interested in feedback. 

My name is Richard, I am an owner/operator of a mostly multifamily portfolio and I am just in the process of handing my portfolio over to a property manager. I am the Director of Business Development for Trelora (modern discount brokerage). I am fairly young (37), still very engaged in R.E., and wanted to know what everyone's thoughts are on new found creativity as is relates to our world? 

To elaborate, only slightly, I mean the explosion of SFR, short term rentals, motel conversions, micro units, iBuyers, prop-tech's involvement with creative solutions to our current landscape, etc. Without giving too much, I am torn between if it's helping or hurting the market, and as I have more time to dedicate to my next steps, I really want to hear others input on the current state of our industry!

To clarify, I am not asking about what the market will look like in the next 1-5 years...

Cheers,

Richard  Libutti
