Technology continues to redefine real estate.

Hello all, my husband(42) and I(36) are brand new real estate investors.

Here's a small tip for new investors that I was never told about real estate investing.I purchased two properties in 2024 and early this week I got a text from my tenant that they received mail for me at the rental.

I took the time to set it up and that property ended April 2024 at 100% occupancy. 

They say they charge 10%, but that doesn't include finding new tenants, renewals, upcharge for maintenance, etc.

AI is becoming a game-changer in real estate, and one of the coolest ways we use it at DealMachine is to analyze property images to detect signs of distress—straight from Google Street View.Instead of relying on manually spotting potential deals, our AI can scan publicly available images and flag properties with indicators like:✅ Overgrown grass✅ Boarded-up windows✅ Roof damage✅ Neglected exteriorYou make the list and you tell AI to look at the images in your list.This makes finding distressed properties way faster and more automated, helping investors focus their efforts on leads with the highest potential.AI also summarized your conversations with sellers in the DealMachine dialer, takes notes, and tells you what to say during the conversation.Hope this helps!

I’m all for getting started and primaries make good rentals when only held for a year or two before they’ve had time to appreciate.

I'm Brian from central Pennsylvania, passionate about real estate investing for 20 years.

We want to start slowly investing in real estate.
