MY AI USAGE IS GROWING

As a landlord, hopefully your usage of AI is growing. One landlord shared this week of the different ways he uses AI. I shared his comments below to encourage you to consider utilizing AI more to your advantage with your rentals.

"I find myself using AI daily. It's become a clerk, a sounding board, a secretary, an appliance troubleshooter, and more. Here are recent uses:

1) My dishwasher stopped working with an indication on the console I didn't understand. I took a picture of the problem, uploaded it to Gemini and it helped me troubleshoot and repair it.

2) A tax client gave me a shoebox of charitable contributions receipts. I needed a total by donee. I scanned the receipts uploaded them and requested a total by donee. Received the results in seconds.

3) I had two qualified applicants I wanted to choose from. One was dragging his feet on completing information on his pet while the other applicant completed his file and was ready to go. Gemini drafted an application rejection notice for the first person and a lease transmittal and binding agreement notice for the second person."

Thanks GKarl(PA) for sharing your growing experiences with AI use on our discussion forum. In fact, in the same discussion GKarl goes on to share a couple more ways he utilizes AI. Plus a few other landlords also share how they are now using AI. Click here to see the complete AI discussion. Also, please share in the discussion one way YOU have been utilizing AI with your rentals or rental business.

ALWAYS RUN AN EVICTION REPORT

We always seem to get more applicants looking to move at the end of the month. However, most of those applying at this time often have poor rental history and may even be looking to move before they get evicted from their current home. So be sure and screen your applicants closely. Screening applicants is more than just looking at their credit score. Last week, for first time in 25+ years, I declined an application with a credit score above 700 because of two evictions in last two years. Always run eviction report + credit report (only $14.95 for both).

Stay in control, stop making biggest landlord mistakes, save thousands of dollars, increase your net income, and make the most of the assets God gives you!
