34% of property management companies have adopted AI.
37% have no plans to.
I spent 8 years inside the other 29%.
Surviving.
Not with cutting edge technology.
With a notepad. Several spreadsheets. PMS that didn’t handle every need. And a calendar full of deadlines that lived in my head because no system could carry them the way I needed it to.
I chased residents for documents they hadn’t already submitted.
I brought compliance files up to date because previous management neglected to complete them.
I stayed late not because I was not good at my job.
Because the infrastructure I was handed was never built for the volume of human decisions my job required every single day.
That is not a staffing problem.
That is a systems problem.
And it is still happening in portfolios across this country right now.
I left that position … to innovate the industry.
Next week I walk into AI Week in New York City.
Not to watch the future being built.
To be part of building it.
Because the 37% who have no plans to adopt AI are not resistant.
They are waiting for someone who actually understands their operation to show them how.
That is what I am building.
That is why I am in that room.
McKinsey says AI-driven operations reduce coordination costs by 20 to 40 percent when deployed as infrastructure … not as isolated tools.
Property management is exactly that kind of industry.
So ask yourself this:
Is your operation built around AI as infrastructure? Or are you still adding tools on top of a broken system?
The answer to that question will determine where your portfolio stands in three years.
The operators who build the right infrastructure now will not just save time.
They will redefine what it means to lead in this space.
You have not heard the last of me.
You have barely heard the beginning.
And I am just getting started. 🖤
