A friend of mine years ago sold 300 properties in a year with one assistant and technology.

Starting acquisitions in mid-2011, my clients have amassed portfolios exceeding 100,000 homes in the U.S.My advice spanned all areas of the business with an emphasis on establishing business execution processes across all functional areas and building technology to support specific functions of acquisitions, asset management, property management.

How technology creates fortunes here, is what real estate does there.
