If every decision, email, and maintenance request has to go through you, your business can only move as fast as you do. And working longer hours won’t fix that.

In Part 3 of the Build With Operators AI series, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner bring you Collin Schwartz’s live presentation from Omaha REIA—the event that sparked this eight-part series. Collin breaks down how real estate investors and business owners can use AI to tackle repetitive work, find the problems slowing them down, and free up time for the decisions that actually need them.

From tenant maintenance calls and overflowing inboxes to multifamily deal analysis and lending dashboards, Collin shares practical examples from his businesses. He explains how to decide what to automate, what needs human oversight, what should stay in your hands, and what you should stop doing altogether. His 10–80–10 approach puts you in charge of the direction and final review while AI handles the heavy lifting in between.

The challenge: pick one process that eats up your week and improve it before chasing twenty new tools. Collin also gets honest about the time, money, and trial and error he’s invested in learning AI—and why building something impressive doesn’t automatically make it useful.

What’s the biggest bottleneck in your business? Drop it in the comments or send your questions to onair@kashanddash.com. Ted and Owen will answer what they can and bring Collin in for the deeper AI questions. Interested in the Build With Operators workshop mentioned in this episode? Email us to ask for details.
