how to build FOMO + exclusive invitation to our AI bootcamp
I want to share some powerful insights on a topic that's critical for every real estate investor and sponsor: building FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) when launching a new deal or project.
Plus, I have an exclusive invitation that will take your skills to the next level.
1. How to Build FOMO for Your Next Project
Creating a sense of urgency and exclusivity can significantly boost your capital-raising efforts. Here are four key steps:
Create a countdown sequence of emails: Build awareness by sending a series of increasingly frequent emails that countdown to your launch deadline.
Highlight unique value: In each email, emphasize what makes your deal unique. Always address the respondent's primary thought: "What’s in it for me?"
Leverage social proof: Showcase testimonials from past investors, share success stories, and highlight your track record. Demonstrating how you have helped others succeed builds credibility.
Set clear deadlines: Create urgency by setting tight, clear deadlines for commitments and emphasize the exclusivity of the opportunity to create a sense of scarcity.

Summary: Industry leaders explored how AI can transform data processes, enhance legal operations, and improve tenant experiences with emphasis on the growing role of AI in streamlining operations.
What it means:
AI is revolutionizing real estate by improving efficiency and decision-making. Benefits include better data analytics, predictive market trends, and enhanced customer experiences. Innovations like smart contracts and predictive maintenance are setting new industry standards.
Why it matters:
For real estate pros, AI offers improved operational efficiency, deeper market insights, and competitive advantages. It aids in better investment decisions and streamlining transactions. Advancements in property security and tenant satisfaction through AI integration can increase asset value.
Big Tech is heavily investing in AI, driving a boom in data center real estate. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta are spending trillions on AI infrastructure. However, some experts warn this could be an "AI bubble," as the return on these massive investments is uncertain.
What it means:
The surge in AI investments aims to revolutionize various sectors, but skepticism exists about whether AI will deliver the anticipated economic benefits. Critics argue that the current enthusiasm might be driven more by hype than practical use cases.
Why it matters:
For real estate professionals, the AI-driven demand for data centers presents significant opportunities. However, it's crucial to consider the potential risks if the predicted AI benefits do not materialize, which could affect long-term investments in AI infrastructure.

this week's Podcast
Guest: LD Salmanson, Co-founder & CEO, Cherre
Cherre is leveraging cutting-edge data science and AI to consolidate massive amounts of data (including users’ own data – it’s NOT easy to do but Cherre have done it), so top CRE fund managers can find opportunities across all aspects of their operations in seconds.
L.D.’s use case examples are crazy: ‘I am looking for this kind of asset, with these exact demographics, with these kinds of tax breaks, in this type of market’ – and boom! out comes a selection for you to look at.
You won’t believe what Cherre can do and, if you are anything like me, you’ll want to set up an account as soon as you finish listening!
Alas, however, the tool is currently only being used by some of the top institutional investors but, L.D. assures me, making it available for mere mortals like thee and me is on their horizon.
Spend a few minutes tuning in to hear one of the foremost leaders in moving real estate into the future of AI in this episode with L.D. Salmanson.
Quote:
"if you're the last mover in AI you're going to die. There's no question here... If you're not trying to figure out what is the world going to look like in the next five years you're already behind the curve and you should be very scared."
