I know several investors using custom-built software for tracking and offer writing, they use CRM and other technology for lead gen and follow up, but I don't know of anyone here in California using AI-based tech for lead gen and follow up in the investor or Realtor space?

Could you explain it more deeply for the technologically challenged?

I do have my RE license so I file a Schedule C for a small amount of brokerage that I do which allows me to deduct expenses for technology (cell phone, software, etc...) a portion of my homes expenses for my home office, and some mileage.

The main benefit is with all of today's technology, remote management has never been easier.

Do any of these groups use the Meet-up format, record session topics for those unable to travel to meeting sites, by using YouTube, Ustream or Skype like technology?

Every modern day hotel room has them installed now, so really theres no need to revert back to previous (IMO). 

Agents also pay money to social media experts, leads companies, and a ton of technology  in order to save time.However, the easiest time savings an agent can get is also the cheapest: not responding to any outreach that doesn't seem like a buyer will come out of it.I'm sorry if this is coming across harsh, as it's not my intention.

Great, active meetup. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/23...Awesome technologically advanced city. 

There will always be the outliers who can come into the space and use technology and savvy to climb the ladder faster than others, but all in all, it would be a daunting task without some serious training.The second thing to note is, from the first day I began wholesaling, there has always been dealers that would stretch numbers.  

The accomplished architectonics in this project is being done by using the latest technologies and hence, is considered to be the most admirable address offering absolute amusement to each and every resident.
