Uncontested Investing Podcast - April 14, 2026
In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we sit down with Martin Kay, founder and CEO of Entera, to talk about one of the biggest shifts happening in real estate right now: the use of AI to reduce cost, speed up decisions, and help investors operate more efficiently. Martin brings a rare lens to this conversation because he is not just building technology. He is building it for real estate operators, capital partners, builders, and agents who need better data, better execution, and fewer expensive mistakes.
We get into why entrepreneurship is really about solving hard problems, how AI has quietly been part of real estate operations for years, and why today’s market punishes investors who are only “mostly right.” Martin explains how analytics, automation, and machine learning can help investors know what to buy, what to sell, which markets to enter, and where to pull back. We also talk about what happened to his company during COVID, how they rebuilt after a 90 percent revenue drop, and why that season forced a new level of clarity, conviction, and resilience.
If you are a real estate investor, operator, or entrepreneur trying to understand how AI fits into modern investing, this episode will give you a practical look at where the industry is headed.

Quotables “Being an entrepreneur, which to me means that basically you like to find hard problems, you like to attack those problems.” “Having machines really do a lot of the heavy lifting so that humans can actually do the relationship work, the design work, the thinking work.” “We’re trying really hard to drive down costs by 50 to 60 percent and move things at three, four times the speed.” Links Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Email: RCN Capital info@rcncapital.com Website: REI INK Magazine https://rei-ink.com/ |
