New agents and investors often face obstacles that are only revealed through experience. 

My name is Jamison Shaw, I am licensed general contractor with over 15 years experience in residential and light commercial construction.

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. 

We cut that cost in half by training and certifying people on our team and it created a better experience overall. 

I personally do not have experience managing rentals.

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

The information shared is based on my experience and industry knowledge and should not be considered legal, financial, or investment advice.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).

This has been my experience and I live in an ultra-competitive market.

Either way, could you please share your experience on the journey so far?
