Episode 507: Stop Wasting Leads & Use AI to Filter, Follow Up, and Fund Deals Faster with Damon Remy

In this high-impact episode, I sit down with Damon Remy, the visionary behind REI BlackBook, to dive deep into the real-world application of AI, automation, and CRM systems for real estate investors.

 

We go far beyond the buzzwords and get into the trenches—how to actually use AI to find better deals, filter out tire kickers, and close more transactions with fewer headaches. Damon breaks down the 3 most powerful ways to integrate AI into your business today, why a CRM is your “central source of truth,” and how automation allows you to create predictability and freedom.

 

Whether you’re a solopreneur trying to escape the hustle or a seasoned investor scaling your ops, this episode will give you a clear blueprint to simplify, systematize, and scale your real estate business.
