🧠 AI 101 for Real Estate Agents – Class Recap

This week at the office, Arthur Martiroso hosted AI 101 for Real Estate Agents, an interactive class designed to help agents bring the power of artificial intelligence into their businesses.

Agents learned how to:

• ✍️ Use AI to draft content like newsletters, listing descriptions, and social media posts in seconds.

• 💬 Practice conversations and objection handling with AI role-plays to sharpen skills.

• ⚙️ Connect AI to everyday tools (like Google, Zoom, or social media platforms) to save time and automate tasks.

The workshop gave agents hands-on examples and practical prompts straight from the AI for Real Estate Agents Playbook, showing how AI can be used to boost productivity, create marketing content, and free up time for building relationships.

As Arthur shared: “AI isn’t here to replace you — it’s here to help you work smarter, faster, and focus on what matters most: your clients.”

Stay tuned for future trainings as we continue exploring how technology can give agents an edge in today’s market.

Passive vs. Active Investing: What’s Worth Your Time. The Modern American Dream Podcast

“Passive vs. Active Investing: What’s Worth Your Time (and What’s Not)”

🔥 Everyone wants passive income—but let’s be real, how passive is real estate… really?

This episode breaks down the full real estate investing ladder, from full-time hustle to hands-off income. I rank them from the most active (and most profitable) to the most passive (and lowest return):

🏗️ Most Active = Highest Return
1️⃣ Flipping properties
2️⃣ BRRRR strategy
3️⃣ Self-managed rentals (short-term + long-term)
4️⃣ Long-term rentals with a property manager
5️⃣ Real estate syndications
6️⃣ Real estate funds
7️⃣ REITs

We talk:
✅ Time vs ROI tradeoffs
✅ Where new investors should start
✅ What wealthy investors do once they scale
✅ The hidden risks of “passive” investing no one warns you about

📈 If you're stuck deciding between hustle and hand-off, this episode is your blueprint.

Through learning, discipline, and emotional maturity, I became someone capable of handling more, earning more, and thinking bigger. Growth isn’t overnight, but if you keep working on yourself, the old you won’t even recognize who you’ve become.
