Episode notes
Long Mortgages Inflate Prices, Not Affordability
- Extending mortgage terms (e.g., 50 years) increases demand without increasing supply, which can inflate home prices.
- Long-term mortgages risk eroding homeowner equity and create systemic leverage problems seen in historic bubbles.
Automate Backyard Quotes With AI
- Use satellite imagery and AI to auto-measure yards and deliver instant design quotes to customers.
- Integrate sample designs so contractors either skip initial visits or arrive with iPad mockups ready to close sales.
Win By Dominating One Service Niche
- Start niche: solve quoting and scheduling for one field (roofing, pools, lawns) then expand across home services.
- Focus on speed and automation since first responders to leads convert far better than slow competitors.
