Hey Account Closed While using technology for source deals is a major part of REI,  There is still something to be said about being or having people on the ground.  

I will be receiving soon the Title Policy from  "Innovative Title Company" on a turnkey investment property (SFH) in Houston TX.

Meaning I handle the projection technology, sizing, install, etc.

This answer is not directed directly to MIke but his question is what most people seem to want these days, and I understand the reason, but in our Industry, all these fancy smancy technology (and I love fancy smancy techology-I'm a nerd actually) I don't find it productive in our Industry. 

Innovative exit strategies for example.I am not being critical as I can respect the approach. 

The 2nd one I bought in Nov and it will be ready by the end of this month. 

I've considered some technological improvements for a laundry as well, but I'd need some start up scratch for patents, and development, which could also come from the basic laundromat acquired. 

Reason why I am posting is because a division of my company, a household enterprise technology company, is undergoing a boom in hiring and we are bringing in 90% of the employees from out of state.

I have a MBA and a Master's in Global Innovation Management from North Carolina State University. 

I like innovative approaches.
