Summary

30% of all jobs could be affected by AI. And if you work in sales, marketing, software engineering, or really any other white-collar profession, there’s a chance your job will be much different (or no longer exist) in a decade. This means that the “work for 40 years and comfortably retire” plan is slowly becoming less realistic. But what’s the one thing AI can’t take? Your real estate portfolio and the passive income that comes with it. Today, we’re talking about how you can AI-proof your income with real estate investments. In fact, for those who own assets, AI will most likely help you make even more money in less time. But why real estate specifically? Why is this asset class so primed to be the AI-proof answer? And how can you start investing now, so if your job disappears, your income streams don’t? AI may take your job, but it’s never going to take your real estate. In This Episode We Cover Why real estate is (arguably) the strongest way to protect your income in an AI-driven economy The end of traditional “retirement” and how AI could change the American working career Jobs that are becoming more and more valuable in the AI age Why ownership beats AI and why those without assets will struggle AI tools we’re using to automate our real estate businesses right now And So Much More!

0:00.0	As many as 30% of all jobs in the U.S. could be affected by AI within the next five years.
0:07.7	Are you confident your career path will last until retirement age? And what are you doing to
0:12.8	protect yourself from the unknowns of this rapidly advancing new technology? Today, we're
0:18.9	giving you an investing solution to safeguard your financial future.
0:23.3	AI might take your job or all of our jobs, but it can never take your real estate.
0:32.9	Hey, everyone, I'm Dave Meyer. I'm a rental property investor and the head of real estate investing
0:37.3	here at Bigger Pockets. And with me today on the podcast is my friend, Henry Washington.
0:42.9	Henry, how's it going?
0:44.2	What's going on, buddy? How are you?
0:45.8	I'm good. But, you know, I got to admit my AI anxiety is like pretty high. How high would you
0:53.3	It should be. Okay. I'm glad we're on the same page
0:59.0	about this because I just want to be vulnerable with you, man. On the record, you should be for your
1:05.3	day job. Like your investments are probably okay, but you should totally be worried. Being a data analyst?
1:11.4	Yeah, 100%. Or podcast source or both. Yeah. All of the above. Both, yes. So I think this is a good
1:17.2	topic for us all to talk about because I don't know anyone who's just like, yeah, this is going to be
1:22.0	fine. There's going to be no disruptions. Even if you believe in the technology long term, which I do,
1:27.1	I think long term,
1:28.3	it's probably going to be beneficial. But I think there's a lot of uncertainty what happens
1:34.9	as we transition to a AI-supported economy in the next couple of years. So I wanted to talk
1:40.9	about that on this podcast and how it relates to real estate.
1:45.4	So today we're going to talk about the best way to take control of your finance and how to get started right now.
1:51.4	So, Henry, you're obviously roasting me because I do think data analyst is like number one job for a job that's going to get replaced.
