Uncontested Investing Podcast - April 28, 2026

In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we continue our AI series by digging into one of the most practical use cases for investors: using AI to analyze deals and sharpen deal sourcing. If you are looking at dozens of properties, trying to underwrite faster, reduce bottlenecks, and make stronger decisions without getting buried in spreadsheets, this conversation is for you. We break down how AI can help investors define a buy box, screen opportunities more efficiently, flag hidden risks, review documents faster, and give you the confidence to move on the right deals without getting stuck in analysis paralysis.

We also talk through why AI is not about replacing investor judgment, but about making your process faster, cleaner, and more scalable. Suzanne and I cover everything from underwriting assumptions and rent analysis to lease review, delinquency trends, neighborhood risk, and how AI can help you make better decisions on both acquisition and asset management.

If you have ever wondered whether AI can actually help you source and evaluate real estate deals in the real world, this episode lays out exactly where it can save time, improve accuracy, and help you stay ahead of the competition.
