I currently work in the Information Technology department for one of the companies.I'm new to real estate and started listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts a few months ago when my friend who is a landlord and owns several properties told me about it.

I worry because quite frankly our tenant pool isn't one that adapts super well to change, they aren't that technologically inclined (online / app = payments - lol - some of these folks are depositing cash into our bank accounts on the 5th) and I worry that this change will disrupt, cause move-outs, more fees, etc...Thanks in advance for your insight, heckles and advice.

My lender said he should be able to get me out yet is having difficulty.

While I was doing my due diligence on this process, I found some difficulty getting details on what to expect so wanted to share my experience as a data point in hopes of helping others who may be going through this process.

No matter how you cut it sales agents and appraisers are in a cyclical business with numerous ups and downs as well as external threats from AI and other technology advancements.

I'm an early retiree from the technology industry starting to dabble in real estate north of Boston. 

With double deposit escrow smart contract, the deposit account is only generated between the buyer and seller, and is only controlled by them.I understand that this new technology has gotten a bad rep from criminals evading taxes and rampant speculation from others, but it's simply an unfortunate side effect of any newly emerging technology.

This spells difficulty as either wages will increase, further pushing up cost of living for everyone or these businesses will have to close or move. in my humble opinion.

Main reasons are the technology, learn/do/manage from anywhere in the world, powerful lead generation program, good commission splits, equity program in the company.

But the downside is the (often) tremendous difficulty of management.
