This ONE shift saves $1M+ by owning your tech stack instead of renting SaaS tools in real estate.  

In this episode, we sit down with Christopher Wise, President of Wise Capital, to explore how owning your tech stack, building in-house proptech, and using AI, IoT and predictive maintenance can transform Class C multifamily and affordable housing. 

From his background in Naval Special Warfare and law, to building property management platforms and hardware that beat off-the-shelf solutions, Chris explains why the future of real estate investing, property management and asset protection is a systems and intelligence problem—not a construction problem. 

Perfect for real estate investors, syndicators, fund managers, property operators and founders across the US, Midwest and beyond who want to future-proof their portfolio against the coming AI and tech corrections.



In this episode, you'll discover:

* How Chris Wise builds $40 smart locks in-house instead of paying $1,200-$6,000 for third-party property technology solutions
* AI predictive maintenance that caught a $1 million foundation problem before purchase using software instead of traditional inspectors
* Why Class C multifamily properties (20-60 units) offer hidden investment opportunities that institutional investors and mom-and-pop shops both overlook
* The truth about conversational AI in property management—how to avoid hallucinations and implement automation that tenants actually use
* Why owning your tech stack protects you from future corrections—lessons from a Navy SEAL turned attorney turned PropTech founder on building vs. renting technology
