Building technologies that allow for flexible floor plans that can be easily changed along with low maintenance and high energy efficiency is where I am trying to define a model. 

I am going to focus exclusively on becoming an expert in using technology to help real estate investor do more deals.

Google LLC announced Aug. 15 plans to invest more than $1 billion in Texas this year, its latest strategic goal focused on supporting cloud and data center infrastructure.Some of that investment will go directly into the technology giant’s data center campuses in Red Oak and Midlothian, both south of Dallas, which are helping the company meet the increasing demand for cloud and artificial intelligence services.

Several trends are occurring as a result of the economic restructuring and impact of technology on virtually every type of business.

You'll need a reliable network of local professionals (plumbers, electricians, handymen) you can trust.Hiring a Property Manager:Peace of Mind: They handle day-to-day operations, tenant communications, and legal compliance.Local Expertise: They understand the local market trends and rental laws in Colorado Springs.Cost: While there’s a fee, many find it worth the reduction in stress and time commitment.Lessons Learned from ExperienceBuild a Strong Local Team: Even if you manage the property yourself, having a dependable local handyman and a real estate attorney can save you headaches.Leverage Technology: Utilize property management software for rent collection, maintenance requests, and tenant screening.

I have always been a fan of heat pump technology for my own personal use albeit I don't know what I don't know on it.  

With the technology RE is getting harder and harder to need realtors. 

LOL, well, I am technologically deficient, just saw an ipad watch thing, Dick Tracy didn't have it so good.

American stocks are hold up only by a few technological companies, and the market capitalisation of some of them is absolutely surreal (for instance, Tesla).There are also several important risks looming over the stock market, like antitrust proceedings against Facebook, the approval of a Google tax in Europe, or huge fines for not complying with data privacy regulations.

Sorry to say, but if agents don't start acting in clients' interests; at least newer/younger clients (like me) will start using technology instead which is going to start wiping out lot agents jobs.
