Hey BP community, I've been investing in Columbus for a few years and lately I've been going deeper into county data — building permits, code violations, tax delinquency — to find motivated sellers before they hit MLS. The combination that's been working best for me: properties with 90+ days on m...
I’m looking for a good cost segregation company for multifamily properties in Arizona, primarily in the Phoenix/Mesa area. Would especially appreciate recommendations from investors who have actually used the company for multifamily properties. A few things I care about: Experience with multifami...
I built an app that allows you to convert images to realistic walkthrough using AI. It is quite natural like video recording and is social media friendly as you can just post the property video. I think the output is quite compelling and the flow is simple enough (just uploading images and floor ...
This is for mom and pop flippers or BRRRR-ers or homebuyers. I am creating an AI enabled room design app where users can chat with the app as if they were talking to a designer and the app will give them high fidelity rendered images of how the room will look like based on the users input. The us...
Following up on a thread I recently posted asking how people handle owner statements and commission splits when co-hosting for other owners. Took the feedback and built a proper spreadsheet: full gross-to-net waterfall per property per month, refunds and occupancy tax pulled out before commission...
I signed up for Objection Proof AI and was genuinely excited to use it—but this turned into one of the worst experiences I’ve had with a service. The system was slow, clunky, and prospects could clearly tell it was AI—resulting in hang-ups. The biggest issue? Warm transfers didn’t work at all. I ...
One thing I’ve been noticing while looking at real estate and property management operations is that buying more software doesn’t always fix the workflow. A company might have good tools for: • Lead management • Property management • Maintenance • Accounting • Email and communication Ye...
Post an address and I'll run it and put the result back in this thread. Disclosure first: Verus-AI is mine, I built it alone, and this isn't a pitch — I won't link anything or ask you to sign up. I want to find out whether the thing is any good, and the only people who can tell me are people who ...
If you are a brokerage founder, property management team leader, or syndicator, I want to ask you a brutal question: What percentage of your week is spent working on your business versus working in it? Most real estate founders are stuck in an 80/20 trap. They spend 80% of their time trapped in t...
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone familiar with NJ MLS and Zillow/Redfin syndication can help me understand what happened with my rental listing. I own a condo in West New York, NJ that has historically rented relatively quickly. This time, after roughly four months with almost no inquiries or show...
When I bought my properties I calculated the expected rent, mortgage, expenses, projected cash flow. But now that I've owned them for a while I realize I have no clean way to look back and see if reality actually matched those projections. Like I know roughly what comes in and goes out each month...
Hey guys, what are the top tenant screening softwares that provide the best and most accurate data? Thanks!
Hey everyone, I’m new here and wanted to get some opinions from people in the real estate space. I work with CRM, automation and lead follow-up systems, and I’m interested in how real estate businesses are currently handling this. When you get a new lead, how are you usually following up with the...
Please share your experience and recommendations for tenant screening software also general preferred platform for rental management (stessa / avail / baselane / turbotenant etc) Thank you
What types of Property Management software do you use? What features do you find the most helpful?
I’m curious what software property managers here are currently using (AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager, self-built systems, etc.). More importantly — what’s the biggest frustration or limitation you experience with it? Is it reporting? Compliance tracking? Owner transparency? Cost? Integration ga...
Hey everyone, I’ve been analyzing the operational bottlenecks that scaling real estate brokerages face, and there is a massive invisible cash drain happening across the industry right now. Most brokerages are trapped in a cycle of buying more SaaS tools. You have one system for the MLS, another f...
Booking through Airbnb or Vrbo feels familiar to guests. Booking through an owner’s website means they need to feel comfortable with someone they may not know yet. Here are five things I’d check on a direct booking website: • Clear photos showing the rooms and spaces guests will actually use. • I...
An agent told me he'd worked so hard for two weeks. He hadn't closed a single conversation. He said it like it was a badge of honor. I asked him to show me what he'd actually been doing. He pulled up Claude. Then ChatGPT. Then a system he'd been building for two weeks straight — formatting templa...
Has anyone else automated their lead data entry? I was spending hours/week manually entering leads from Zillow, website forms, etc. into my CRM. Finally, set up an automation that: Watches my email for inquiries Extracts contact info automatically Creates/updates contacts in my CRM Tags lead sour...
Hey everyone, I’ve been looking closely at the backend operations of scaling regional property management firms and brokerages lately. There’s a massive structural revenue leak that almost nobody talks about. When an operation starts growing, they usually try to fix operational drag by buying mor...
I’m curious how other real estate operators handle the gaps between the software they already use. A growing business might already have a CRM, property management software, accounting tools, email, calendars, maintenance platforms, and lead sources. But when something happens in one system, does...
I keep seeing investors build separate spreadsheets for tax delinquency, absentee ownership, vacancy, and pre-foreclosure. The hard part is not getting another list—it is knowing which owners are worth a real conversation and what signal makes them relevant. Has anyone found a workflow that combi...
There has been some good discussion on here regarding the role of AI in the real estate market. So I thought I’d share my recent first-hand experience with it. Both buyer and seller were using AI heavily to make their decisions. Seller asked AI about list price, how to prepare the property etc. A...
Generating social media captions, writing emails, summarizing stuff you could just read yourself. Not really moving the needle. Where I've actually seen AI make a real difference is in the operational side. Things like texting follow up sequences that respond based on what the lead actually said,...
