The technology seems sweet.  

Many revenue management solutions such as the ones we use leverage "AI technology" to dynamically price the leases based on market rents.We have used AI for RE content, adwords, etc.Next few years would be interesting as AI works its way into the real estate industry which has not traditionally been an early adopter of technology.

Howdy folks - I'm a IT (information technology) veteran tired of being laid off.

I strive to help investors make the best decision and make the best profit possible, even in detriment of my own income - standard of Ethics require us to work for the best benefit of our customers .... this will give you immense power, infinite leads, repeat business, and good thankful friends (which, for me is much more valuable than money).I see you have your license less than 2 year ago, so I understand you are still full of pragmatic dreams but you will soon get to understand how broad our profession can be and discover the different ways you can service the public and still offer excellent value; you will find a changing world where the customer is being increasingly empowered by technology and market disruptors.

In addition to this I would like to see the Tools go back to school and get an advanced degree in Business and Research technology!

Everyone in the space wants a percent of your business so gaining true processes, marketing and technology you can control is vital to maintaining reasonable profit margins.

Other factors are less controllable, such as state of the economy, technological insolence, neighborhood status, etc.
