Workshop: AI in Real Estate
Diving deep into how AI works... and how it is being implemented across real estate
No subject brings me more questions from Thesis Driven readers than AI. It’s seemingly everywhere—threatening to upend everything from residential brokerage to underwriting to rent collection—yet it’s increasingly difficult to separate the signal from the noise as more players enter the AI dogfight and legacy vendors add an “AI” layer to their products.
On July 29th and 30th, we’re aiming to shed some light on AI in real estate.
Thesis Driven is offering—and I’m personally teaching— a two-day interactive workshop for owners, operators, and developers exploring how to use AI in the real estate sector.
📅 Tuesday, July 29th: 12:00–1:30pm ET
📅 Wednesday, July 30th: 12:00–1:30pm ET
Both sessions will be recorded and shared with all participants.

Over two 90-minute live sessions, you’ll get a clear, no-jargon explanation of how AI actually works—followed by a deep dive into real-world use cases across operations, development, and acquisitions.
We’ll examine case studies from companies like Camden, Invitation Homes, and Lennar, then focus on implementation: where to start, how to prep your data, and how to evaluate vendors. You’ll leave with a practical framework for applying AI in your business—plus tools to avoid the hype and focus on what matters.
Participants will receive pre-read materials, including framing decks and real estate-specific examples, and gain post-course access to Circle, where we’ll share recorded videos, recommended tools, curated vendor lists, and implementation guides.
🧠 You’ll Learn How To:
Understand how AI actually works
Break down what modern AI is (and isn’t), including models vs. applications, agentic AI, and frameworks like HITL HOTL HOOTL
Explore real estate-specific use cases
See how AI is being applied to leasing, marketing, underwriting, site selection, construction monitoring, and more
Learn from real case studies
Camden’s use of EliseAI, Invitation Homes' collections and delinquency models, and Lennar’s AI-driven development workflow
Evaluate where AI fits in your org
Spot high-impact opportunities, assess data quality, and prioritize use cases that deliver ROI
Prep your team and systems for implementation
Understand what makes data “AI-ready,” how to choose vendors, and how to structure internal workflows for success
Stay ahead of what’s coming
Look beyond the buzzwords—explore what’s next in computer vision, NERFs, and the falling cost of custom software
