1. Why Automation is the #1 Skill for Real Estate Investors

Real estate is a leverage game. The more you automate, the more you can:
✔ Scale without working 80-hour weeks
✔ Eliminate “time for money” trading
✔ Focus on high-value tasks (deals, not paperwork)

Here’s where to start.

2. Click leads to ManyChat → Qualifies them via chat (“What’s the property address? Condition?”)

Cost: $500/month → 5-10 leads/day

B. Automated SMS & Email Drip Campaigns

Tools:

Sample Sequence:
