The big tach firm's are working on models of other monetization, that's there way forward, how to capture the data and monetize it differently to create relief on reliance of sole monetization from the agent model.

However, older instances are to be considered more holistically, suggesting a more lenient approach to past financial or rental difficulties as time passes.Exemptions and Protections:Certain properties, particularly older houses that cannot easily be brought into compliance with current codes, are exempt from some source-of-income rules, acknowledging practical limitations in applying these rules universally.Landlord Liability:The ordinance provides protections for landlords in terms of reliance on third-party information to reject a tenant, mitigating potential legal risks associated with tenant selection processes.Fair Housing and Legal Compliance:All considerations of prospective tenants' applications must align with fair housing laws and other state and federal legislation, reinforcing the ordinance's compliance with broader legal standards for housing discrimination.

🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

@Ramy MosbahWe are moving over to Microsoft dynamics 365 which has some built in AI analytics and an AI builder that you can train it to pull data (ocr) from documents, provide insights on leads in your funnel and find data trends.It’s still way to new of a technology to put any reliance behind it besides having fun with it or using it to tell you where to eat on a vacation or assist in writing a post

Staying informed about local real estate trends and market conditions can also help you make strategic decisions that minimize reliance on property management services.

It talks about all the material participation rules, and how to ruin a taxpayer's day.Having a W-2 job is likely a killer... but at the same time, if that W-2 is not material or if your reliance on that income is not material, then we say go for it.

The reliance on brokers for filling tenant spots in commercial always worried me.

Quote from @Sam Yin:  To top it all off, it will begin to erode reliance on MLS and can begin to take us back to the old days of real estate, prior to the Internet. 

If this is a 5+ MFH than there will be heavy reliance on the income approach. 

In my experience reliance on trusts for protection is highly misplaced.
