#78: Imagine that you're looking for a rental property. It's a
warm Saturday afternoon, and you decide to cruise through a few
open houses in the area.
Your autonomously-driving electric vehicle pulls into the driveway.
Your wifi-enabled contact lenses automatically register the
property's details: square footage, year of construction, sales
history, tax assessment, price-to-rent ratio, average neighborhood
occupancy rates, and multiple cap rate estimates. As you walk
through the property, your contact lenses display the digital
history of every item -- the furnace, dishwasher, windows --
keeping you up-to-date with the full installation and service
history of every home component.
Welcome to the future of real estate investing.
What's looming on the horizon? How will technology -- including
augmented reality and 3D printing -- affect the way we analyze and
purchase rental properties?
I chat about this topic, and more, in today's podcast episode.
This week, I feature another Ask Paula episode, answering questions
that this community has submitted. This week's theme is real
estate, and I've invited Will to join me as we tackle your
questions about rental investing.
Enjoy!
