How proptech is driving financial inclusion
Briefly

Small-scale 'mom and pop' landlords, including nurses and teachers, comprise 85% of investor-owned residential properties, outpacing institutional players. Property technology is revolutionizing real estate investing by removing traditional barriers. Automation in tenant screening, lease agreements, and rent collection simplifies the process, requiring less financial investment and time commitment. This democratization of real estate allows more people to invest and build wealth, making it feasible for those previously excluded due to time constraints. Modern software platforms support these efforts, creating an inclusive investment landscape.
In recent years, 85% percent of investor-owned residential properties were purchased by small scale 'mom and pop' landlords, rather than institutional players.
Proptech is dismantling many of the long-standing barriers that once kept many people out, redefining who gets to invest, who gets to earn, and who gets to build wealth from real estate.
Modern software platforms automate and centralize nearly every step of the process. Automated five-pronged tenant screening tools deliver instant background and credit checks.
That kind of automation has opened the doors to investors who once felt priced out—not financially, but in terms of time and attention.
