For my real estate & short-term rental readers

A familiar place to try something new.

Start with a task you understand. Use that experience to judge what AI can actually help with.

You may know me from my books or courses. Teaching real estate helped me build a working life around caregiving. It also taught me how much a clear example and a useful resource can matter.

I’m bringing that approach into this next chapter. These exercises use familiar property tasks as a way to explore a broader skill: making something useful with AI and checking it for yourself.

One small place to begin

Can an AI draft a guest reply without making up a house rule?

Use a fictional manual, ask three questions, and check what the draft gets right or assumes.

Try the guest-reply practice

From the practice to your own experiment

  1. Try the supplied example before using your own materials.
  2. Choose a low-stakes task you can judge from experience.
  3. Keep the output as a draft, check it, and record what you had to correct.

Keep private guest details, access codes, and financial documents out of practice prompts. A fluent answer still needs your judgment.

The broader starter path helps you move from one useful result to a direction you want to explore, whether that involves real estate, a creative project, or something else.
