Ray-N-PA, on the post - Let the gaaames begin! - by NE, you replied:

".............. If you can't find that perfect diamond, that means you need to grow your own. You can do it with improved marketing and training. Automation doesn't help you do either"

It has me asking the question; Do you not do any form of automation when finding tenants?

Thank you for your time.

You need to train your tenant on exactly what you want from them. How does does your automation do that? Having a docusign lease doesn't allow you to do that - I think it does the opposite.

I do use automation to remind to visit these tenants after a couple of days of lease signing and about 3.5 weeks later. if there is an issue, I want to get it corrected and get them back on the right path.

Of all my methods to market, I prefer using referrals. I want my tenants to figure out who is a good reflection of them. I think multiple landlords don't see the value of giving your tenants a small task to do that supports the larger mission. It could be having a 10 year tenant picking out the color of one gal of paint for an accent wall - a reward for signing another two lease. They have buy in then.

Or you can rely on a meta-crawler to send out an incomplete add to multiple websites. AI will write the add so much better than you ever will. They will give you a list of ways to market the place after you load in the pics and it will tell how effective each of the will be. But there are so many folks out here that are refusing to even consider using the right tools for the jobs of the future. For those people, I want them to know that 1980's are over and the wall paper resurgence died off.

Thank you, Ray.

I do the prescreen form automated but I do the lease signing in person. I deal with the application without automation as well. I go over the lease and the house with the tenants in person as well.

I had my own ad up and Zillow said it was very strong. I then asked AI, it wrote one up, I put it on Zillow and Zillow said it was good. So, my own add must have been better than AI, according to Zillow. Not sure I get that one as my own words were to the point?

Are you saying that AI will actually list the property for you?
