Episode Overview

What You'll Learn in This Episode

What does it look like to manage a real estate portfolio — single-family rentals, self-storage, and triple-net retail — with zero property management team? Kevin Shtofman built that system. In this episode, he breaks down how to make AI show its calculations and flag risk before it becomes a problem, why NotebookLM functions as his CRM, his "Critical 19" dashboard that gives him a single source of truth across every asset, and the $20 device that captures what memory can't. If you own property and still rely on instinct over data, this is your wake-up call.
