Key Points  

Treat every tool as its own business unit (04:44 – 21:03) 

Shiny object syndrome is an all too common problem in the real estate industry. Every new piece of tech seems like the one that will take your business to the next level, but that’s usually not the case. More often than not, we end up with a horde of tech that’s not fully adopted, utilized, or implemented into the business. With this in mind, it’s important to treat every new piece of technology as a business unit of its own, have a business plan for it, a set of goals and objectives, and KPIs you hold it accountable to.  

Build your own real estate mutual fund (21:05 – 28:10) 

Previously, opportunities for investing in larger properties were heavily limited. You wouldn’t have enough capital in your individual capacity, or a network of people to pool resources with. Now that syndication is an option to get a piece of a larger investment, or even own a piece of several larger investments without the stress of raising a lot more capital. It’s like building your own mutual fund in real estate holdings.  

Real estate deals on the blockchain (21:05 – 28:10) 

By combining the merits of the blockchain and real estate, there are plenty of opportunities to make the transaction better. The blockchain adds a level of security to buying and selling property, it can simplify the due diligence piece. The idea of real estate deals being done on the blockchain isn’t just a concept anymore, it’s a real possibility being built up as we speak.
