And today on our subject - unloading frustrations
On the one hand real estate and technology have always been close and on the other hand just basic. That is, you see technology in accessing information, using management apps, images, video, DRONES, and more. The real estate industry tends to adopt technology.
But, there is one area that for some reason is left behind - decision making.
Without going into the discussion of whether Zilo is good or bad Zilo was one of the bodies that made a significant change in the field. Unfortunately I remember the days when I would get a screenshot or a blurry copy of printed paper with property data from the MLS the agent sent. Lol, yes I'm not young anymore. Zilo opened up the world of MLS and public property data. Before that it was just through the various MLS interfaces and for those who think these interfaces look like today. . . Really wrong. It took MLS a long time to produce information accessibility like they do today, sorry - a lot of time.
Now let's think about an investor. Sitting in a country or in the US and wanting to buy an investment-rental property. Opens a computer, enters Zilo and starts searching. First question - where to buy? Second question - what to buy? Then many more questions. Let's say all other questions are similar whether it is a property In New Orleans or a property in Tucson Arizona - important questions but I'm putting them aside right now.
Today this investor is looking for the metro and staff first and only then the property using the top-bottom method (top down), and why? Because mostly decision-making tools rely on local knowledge and staff. And from my experience I know that except for one single case usually local knowledge has limitations. Note: As a lender of real estate investors for over 15 years it has always felt wrong for me to operate in only one area. It's true that I did not operate in a lot of areas at once but I was always skeptical of one market precipitation lenders because somehow I always had the feeling that what answer would I get from the one offering deals in New Orleans - that he would really recommend Tucson to me?
Back to technology. . .
In an ideal world the decision making of this investor was a combination of investor preferences, and according to these preferences - choosing a property that meets them regardless of whether this property is located in New Orleans or Tucson. Thereby thereby minimizing the impact of the local staff on decision making.
And actually the question is why it doesn't happen like this? That is, if there is a combination of science and art in decision-making, why are we 80% art and 20% science?
The answer lies in technology of course. And it may seem that real estate surrounded by apps on the one hand does not offer a real, advanced and smart solution to this problem... At least not yet. And yes, yes me and two of my friends are already working on it.
So why the frustration - because there are not many fields that have so much information, which has been collected and stored for so many years. In US real estate this is referred to as a deed. And yet the information is used relatively superficially. In a world where models are run on tropical storms, viruses and diseases and even risk pricing in insurance, isn't there a good model for running decision-making with a high level of certainty in such a popular field? It's frustrating and that's what my friends and I are working to change.
So how do you see it? No, not how you operate today in the decision-making world, how would you like to see the decision-making process happen in the ideal world of real estate investors? Come on run with the imagination and fantasies... Even exaggerate a bit... Who came the furthest with the ideas and thoughts!
