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 practiceFrom the practice to your own experiment
- Try the supplied example before using your own materials.
- Choose a low-stakes task you can judge from experience.
- 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.
