Send us Fan MailThis episode was originally released on December 29, 2025. We’re resurfacing it because, heading into the new year, something has become clear: AI isn’t coming to real estate — it’s already here, and it’s quietly separating operators.In this episode of The Rent-ish Podcast, Zach and Patrick sit down with William Hollis, founder and CEO of Raise AI, to talk about how artificial intelligence is reshaping real estate investing in ways most people aren’t noticing yet.This isn’t an AI hype conversation. It’s about leverage.William breaks down how AI is being used behind the scenes to improve underwriting speed, reduce capital friction, sharpen decision-making, and help serious investors operate more efficiently, without replacing human judgment. They also discuss why house hacking remains one of the strongest entry points into investing, the emotional realities of residential real estate, and why investors who dismiss AI as “future tech” may already be falling behind.If you own multiple units and care about scale, efficiency, and staying competitive over the next cycle, this conversation is worth your time.Listen to the full episode and others here: linktr.ee/rentishpod https://ledgre.ai/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=OrganicSocialMedia&utm_campaign=Feb2026Promotion Learn More https://innago.com/podcast/  https://joincohorts.com/Sponsors: Innago is a free, online property management software designed for landlords, particularly those managing small to medium-sized portfolios.
