The majority of the tenants are through multiple local agencies and as such most have mental or very light imbalances so yeah......they don't use much technology and have no computers nor cell phones so they sure as hell don't have an email address lol. 

As far as my current work, I am currently an ATP (assistive technology professional) and I help patients in hospitals, nursing homes, or at home get custom power and manual wheelchairs to increased their independence with their daily activities.

I love the technology and training.

Technology can disrupt it but not replace it, particularly for the skilled agents/brokers.

So naturally those people who had a morning routine, weren't rushed, had time to clear their head etc, were able to come to work already firing on all cylinders instead of wasting half the morning over by the coffee maker.In today's world with the internet and mobile technology, you can conduct business almost any time of the day. 

If you have solid performing assets and think you can increase rents, or lessen the vacancy window with technology or just plain attention he can't add I think you will be able to structure it exactly how you want. 

AI technology.

Is better to get lots in the neighborhood and do new construction with modern foundation technology and specs?

You can also get into noise cancelling technology, creating opposite sound waves that effectively mute the incoming soundwaves.

As others have said, yes.Biggest hangup is typically technology, or rather not knowing how to work it.On a typical Oakland CA purchase contract, with typical Bay Area timelines, the seller is going to indirectly (via the terms/conditions/timelines spelled out in the purchase contract) require the homebuyer to know what a PDF is and how to docusign and what an email is and how to work a document portal and how a scanner works and how to own a scanner (to scan the social security income entitlement letter) and that sort of thing.Pragmatically, the way around that is kids/grandkids/nieces/etc helping.
