Experience in the last 3 years: 9.

Here are some trends that could play out, or further develop in 2025.Leasing & Tenant Experience AI-Powered Leasing: Chatbots and AI tools will streamline leasing processes, from answering tenant inquiries to scheduling tours.Virtual Tours & Digital Leasing: These will become even more standard, making it easier for tenants to rent remotely.TechnologySmart Property Management: IoT devices (smart locks, thermostats, etc.) will become more common, improving efficiency and tenant satisfaction.Property Management Software: Platforms will integrate more AI for predictive maintenance, rent collection, and financial reporting.SustainabilityGreen building practices and energy-efficient upgrades will be a major focus, driven by tenant demand and potential incentives.AI & AutomationAI will play a bigger role in tenant screening, rent pricing optimization, and even predicting market trends.Automation will handle repetitive tasks like maintenance requests and lease renewals, freeing up PMs for higher-level activities.I'm sure there are plenty more shifting trends that I haven't mentioned and that are sure to evolve over the next year. 

I don't have a lot of experience, but I do have the ability to exchange my time, so that could be a form a currency that benefits them. 

I worked with one and that experience is the reason I now own my own PM company. 

This experience taught me to trust my instincts more and never skip due diligence, even in areas I am less familiar with like basements and water intrusion.Any advice on how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of folks invest here. 15+ years Realtor/Wholesaler experience.

Hey Derrick, I have a lot of experience in Detroit.

Every time you toss the coin, the experiment starts over. 50/50 every time.Not because you send out 3000 mailers does it mean you WILL make 1 deal.If you have a motivated (enough) seller in your list, sure, perhaps... but who told you that if you send 1000 mailers there is one motivated seller, in the mix, and if you send 10,000 mailers you have 10 motivated sellers in that list?

Our third partner, who has experience with smaller projects in Detroit, also finds this endeavor overwhelming.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and any advice you can share.
