WOW! I cannot believe it is almost 2024. That's something else! What are you looking forward to the most? #2024 #newyear #newyearseve #newyears #newyearsday #newyearsresolution #realtor #realestate #realestateagent #fillintheblank #fungame

For the past 2 years, I've met with a small pod of 4 entrepreneurs just about every week. We talk about business, relationships, and life. I met my pod through a group called GoBundance Emerge. It's a membership community and mastermind for healthy, wealthy, generous men and women who choose to live epic lives! As we are halfway through 2024, it’s a great time to stop and reflect on the different areas of our lives. See below for the 6 pillars our community uses as a foundation for shared values.  1. Age-defying health To make an impact in the world, you must first care for yourself. We can build the largest business empire in the world, but if we don't take care of ourselves, then what good is it? We prioritize our physical selves, however that manifests on the individual level. 2. Authentic relationships Being in a community with like-minded individuals is important. Connections happen from the start. As soon as I joined, I got connected with local members in the Michigan area and my pod who I meet with every week. The community is so diverse that I've been able to meet people in various industries from all across the country. 3. Horizontal income We believe your wealth should be cared for with intention. I've learned about the differences between vertical income (income you receive from your job or other active pursuits) and horizontal income (income you receive passively). Building up my real estate rental portfolio has been a huge component of my horizontal income. 4. Extreme accountability Everyone has experienced an accountability group where nobody really improves. In this group, I have connected with people in meaningful ways which have led to high levels of support, understanding, and inspiration from one another. 5. Bucket-list adventures It often takes being in a new place to gain a new perspective. This group has helped open my eyes to what is possible. From triathlons to safaris to ski trips. I've seen people take action on living life to the fullest, which has inspired me to do the same. 6. Genuine contribution Giving back encourages personal growth and makes life more meaningful. For the past few seasons, I've volunteered at a local high school to help coach their football team. It's been a great way to give back to the community and get involved with football again, which has always been a passion of mine. Which of these buckets are you crushing it in? Where might you need to make some improvements?

Simply Homes, Inc., the Portland-based startup, founded in 2020 by Brian Bagdasarian and Robert Kavanagh, is on a mission to tackle the affordable housing crisis in the US. With a recent injection of $22 million in funding, they're set to transform blighted neighborhoods by purchasing single-family homes, renovating them, and offering affordable rentals to low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled. CEO Brian Bagdasarian emphasizes, "We're solving the affordability crisis for those who struggle with housing stability the most." Unlike traditional #iBuyers, Simply Homes focuses on neglected areas, ensuring well-maintained, affordable housing for those in need. Bagdasarian and CFO Robert Kavanagh believe in making a positive impact while turning a profit, citing the potential 31% increase in lifetime earnings for children moving into lower-poverty neighborhoods. Simply Homes has rapidly grown its portfolio to 108 units, experiencing over 50% quarterly revenue growth since its launch. Operating in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Cleveland, Ohio, the startup plans expansion into Baltimore, Maryland, and parts of the Midwest. Bagdasarian, with a background in #AI, and Kavanagh, with #realestate expertise, utilize technology and machine learning to underwrite properties accurately and rapidly. Their innovative approach, backed by a stable income model, sets them apart in the proptech landscape. Simply Homes aims to rejuvenate aging housing stock, providing a solution to the housing shortage and making homes accessible to those most affected by the affordability crisis. As James Gettinger from Gutter Capital notes, "They're addressing affordability for the bottom end of the market like no one else." #AffordableHousing #SimplyHomes #HousingCrisis #Proptech #SocialImpact

Let's talk about #Chicago.

The 2 Types of Founders Proptech Needs Right Now Last week I had the pleasure of connecting with 2 of Tangent 💚 Proptech's supporters, and they each embody the type of founder that our space needs to truly create value and drive Real Estate innovation forward in these unprecedented times: 1. The Insider Sean Landsberg, CAM (Founder at AppWork) is on a mission to elevate how property management handles maintenance, work orders and unit turnover. Sean is an industry insider who felt the pains of legacy Multifamily maintenance software first hand, so he decided to build an All-in-one platform to improve operational efficiency, increase property managers, technicians and renter satisfaction and streamline team communication. Without his invaluable property management experience, he would not have been able grasp the nuances that go into the building maintenance process. 2. The Outsider George Santacroce (Founder at Reel-T), a Retail industry expert, saw an opportunity to help how Real Estate agents and homebuyers tour properties remote as existing platforms were failing to provide the tools needed for stakeholders, while existing solutions only catered to the top 10% of homes for sale. George had seen how e-commerce disrupted his former industry, and decided to apply those lessons to the home discovery and touring process, by empowering brokers and homebuilders with an end-to-end video communication app that saves them time and creates a personalized 3D tour experience. Two types of founders, the Insider and the Outsider, each type equally needed in Proptech. One knows the problems to be solved and the players involved in-depth, the other brings a critically unbiased mindset from a likely more modern and innovation-friendly industry. With these 2 types of founders, we'll solve real problems and set buildings and teams up for success as we navigate and overcome the 'bust' part of the recent 13-year cycle. 🧐 Proptech & VC investors, what type of founders are you backing to drive innovation? 👀 What are other great examples of Insider / Outsider Proptech founders out there?
