Tech Nest: The Proptech Podcast

Real estate is one of the oldest and highest performing asset classes - known for producing long-term wealth over generations. However, more people are choosing to rent now than at any point in the last 50 years, either for affordability or freedom to move. While individuals can achieve greater flexibility through renting, they also miss out on the benefits of wealth creation that can come from owning real estate, and, therefore end up under invested in real estate compared to peers who purchase homes. Every year spent without holding real estate investments, real estate can become more expensive and further out of reach as property values rise.We believe people should have the freedom to move around to pursue new opportunities in their life while still having access to the wealth creation long-term home ownership can provide.https://arrivedhomes.comhttps://twitter.com/ArrivedHomeshttps://twitter.com/RyFrazhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryfraz/Ryan@arrivedhomes.com

James Barrett is cofounder and CEO of Tenant Turner - a software company that finds, pre-qualifies, and schedules quality tenants so landlords and property managers can focus on more important things! James became an accidental landlord in 2009 and later acquired a second rental property in 2013. Though he’s always enjoyed interacting with tenants, he despised the inefficiencies of turning the properties. So he joined forces with his two best friends and fellow landlords to solve the problems they encountered managing their own residential rental properties. Now Tenant Turner is used by landlords and property managers nationwide and was recently named “Best Leasing Solution” by DoorGrowClub.Learn more about Tenant Turner, and connect with James!Company WebsiteCompany TwitterJames' LinkedInJames' Email
