But first, my background.
Started my real estate career in the NFL, with the goal of buying one building each year.
Since the NFL is such a volatile profession, I wasn’t sure how long it would last.
While playing I football, I learned that I love real estate, and wanted to make a career out of it.
Founded WayPoint Homes (now Invitation Homes) in 2009. By 2016, the publicly traded REIT had 17,000 SFRs in 13 markets with AUM of $3B.
Along the way, I was fortunate to pick up one of these rings.

There is a tsunami of change coming to real estate.
Real estate tech investing has grown 7x since 2015, from $1.8B to about $13B.
Recently, it increased $1.4B in just one week! Not all of these ventures will be successful, but many of the concepts will.
This infusion of money will drive change and transform the industry.
This preso is about what it will take to be a successful RE investor in the 21st century.
Success is about evolving.
Reality is some will surf, while others will get washed away.
My goal is to help you surf!
This is what this presentation is really about.
One of my favorite quotes in business and life.
Especially important as tech continues to disrupt every industry.
Will share my thoughts on where I believe the puck is headed.
Will also share my six strategies on how to start investing in real estate in the 21st century.
This presentation will provide specific ways technology and automation are modernizing real estate investing and management.
Adopt these strategies to optimize your real estate investments, and boost your monthly rental income.
Question:
What percent data collected in last two years?
90%! It’s hard to imagine: Google searches, photo sharing, Facebook and real estate data
All of this data is potentially very valuable.
New saying: Data is the new oil.
Those that own and use data will be the winners in the next century
One interesting trend I have seen: The smartest and most successful investors all have one thing in common.
They have mastered using real-time data
Enables better decisions & faster decisions
In most industries, real-time data is commonplace.
Real estate has been slower to adopt real-time data, but Mynd and other proptech firms are changing that.
When it comes to your real estate assets, you should be informed about their performance at all times.
New platforms are emerging, so this will change how you invest in real estate.
Imagine how powerful this tool can be for investors, and the entire industry.
Understand how you can get in front of this.
Here are some companies to check out
They have data that can help you make better decisions
If you aren’t leveraging the increasing availability of data you will get left behind
*Verbally mention CRAIGSLIST
The way you lease vacant units can and should evolve.
What’s the goal of leasing?
Optimize
Highest rent
Fastest time
Highest-quality tenants
There are new tools to help you do this better.
Syndicates
Cast a wider net, and get your listings on more eyeballs in a fraction of the time it typically takes.
3D tours/great photos: Provide as much transparency and info online as possible.
Self-showings: Reduce vacancies by scheduling more appointments with the least friction possible, and allow prospects to schedule them online or from their mobile device.
Resident screening: Use data to help select better residents with lower delinquency rates and higher ResidentScores.
ResidentScores: Data collected by leading multifamily credit bureau TransUnion analyzes the quality of residents and helps you attract higher-quality tenants with lower eviction and delinquency rates.
Seek out tech-savvy tenants because they optimize the leasing process: Mynd residents are also more tech-savvy than the average resident, and are drawn to our tech-enabled features like digital resident applications, chatbots, etc.
Lots out there, challenge is integrating
I feel passionate about this final property management tip: Last year, I wrote an article in Forbes because I feel like many people in the industry are wrong about what technology can do for customer service.
In the past, customer service has not been something that the traditional real estate industry has focused on.
However, startups are popping up all over with a deep focus on the customer experience, and disrupting the industry.
We Work
Clutter
The same thing will happen with property management and the owner and resident experience.
Many equate automation and tech to bad or impersonal customer service: This is wrong.
Customer service is at the core of what we do as PMs, and I believe those that embrace tech will provide far-superior customer service.
Here’s how.
Revolutionary case management with proprietary PM software: Otto
Measures key statistics to maximize your investments: first response, open to close
Provides an immediate feedback loop for customer satisfaction and service with NPS and CSAT surveys.
The rate of change and adoption is going faster and faster
Get ahead of the wave and make sure you are surfing - not drowning.
Tip #1 - assess how you make decisions and your data sources
Work smarter, not harder
Tip #2 - assess the tools you or your PM are using to attract residents
Know all your leasing metrics: time to lease, rent vs. market, tenant caliber
The way you lease will have a big impact on the kinds of tenants you get, I believe today in many locations a more tech-forward approach yields better results
Tip #3 - look at how you or your PM provide service
Are you measuring customer satisfaction? Where are you strong or weak? Is there a plan to improve?
