Long-lasting happy tenants is what is feeding the machine and allow us to get +ve cash flow.

The Dealbot he claims uses AI but it's a Typeform form with no signs of AI or machine learning.

It's like plugging into that machine from the Matrix to learn Jiu Jitsu (only you learn about real estate investing).
