I have been out of the BP community for quite some time and It was nice to see a subject post related to my industry.We were the first real estate brokerage to embrace and support short-term rental under the sharing economy in South Florida back in 2013 when Airbnb was getting hot and the business ecosystem surrounding Airbnb started to pop out.

The "glass treehouse" is in Eagles Nest, which is very much it's own eco-system and has a plethora of amenities not available to people outside of the neighborhood. 

But as a universal statement of Real Estate as a whole, no, asset classification matters and has it's own eco-system and cycles. 

I've got 3 properties and I use the Nest ecosystem from Google. 

Because Detroit is "working from a position of history and a position of strength with regards to the ecosystem, it’s a great place for the center to develop,” Stevens said.California-based Edmunds analyst Jessica Caldwell said it's logical for Detroit to see these investments because of the existing infrastructure, workforce and having the Detroit Three headquartered here.

@Kory Sheldahl I'm a tech nerd as well (and learning to code right now) - intersted in overall proptech / real estate software ecosystem.

I've been a listening for quite a while and am here to start exploring more resources in the BP ecosystem as I take my journey in real estate to the next level.Last year I travelled the country in a self-built tiny home to find my next home after leaving the pacific northwest due to wildfires and drought.

Rent payment is just the hook to tie you into their ecosystem of add-on services.
