Free Automation Audit for Property Managers (Worth $5,000; Only 3 Spots Available)

Most property managers are losing 20–40% of their week to repetitive admin: chasing renewals, processing invoices, reconciling rent payments, and manually updating spreadsheets no one reads.

That time is now measurable and fixable.

We’re launching a Free Data & Automation Audit (valued at $5,000) designed to help property teams pinpoint where AI can have the biggest operational and financial impact.

In just three weeks, our team will:

✅ Map how your business currently operates — tools, people, and processes.

✅ Quantify time and cost-saving opportunities using your actual workflows.

✅ Deliver a custom automation roadmap showing what to automate first for the fastest ROI.

👉 This offer is completely free for the first 3 companies that apply.

Top 3 Takeaways From This Edition

1. AI Joins the Property Team: Lette AI raises $1.4 M to automate leasing, renewals, and maintenance.

2. Commercial Data Wakes Up: Reonomy now maps 54 M+ properties to uncover hidden deals.

3. Global Funding Wave: Proptech money floods in: automate now or get left behind.

Founder Story of the Week - Lette AI: Dublin’s Agentic Rebellion

When two Dublin engineers realised landlords were still managing properties through Gmail threads and sticky notes, they decided to fix it with code.

Meet Mohan Sai and Jakub Rajek, co-founders of Lette AI, a new “agentic operating system” for property managers. Both previously built automation models at Nory AI, helping restaurants predict orders. In 2025, they saw the same pattern in real estate, too many repetitive tasks, too little time.

With $1.4 million pre-seed funding from Pitchdrive, Baseline Ventures and Lugus Capital, Lette AI aims to automate up to 80 % of daily admin for small operators from 10 to 100 units.

What Lette AI Does?

• Leasing Automation: Handles inquiries, schedules viewings, and sends tenancy paperwork automatically.

• Maintenance Routing: Reads messages like “Boiler not working,” books the right vendor, and tracks completion.

• Renewal Prediction: Uses payment history and communication data to flag which tenants might churn.

In early pilots, Lette AI users cut 15 hours of admin work per week and improved tenant response times by 70 %.

Why It Matters

For most independent landlords, admin is the real expense. Every email, reminder, and invoice eats away at growth time.

Lette’s system removes that drag:

• Faster leasing: 40 % quicker time-to-sign when AI handles first contact.

• Zero missed renewals: Automatic notices at 90, 60, and 30 days.

• Fewer delays: Vendors booked in hours, not days.

That translates directly into higher occupancy, happier tenants, and lower staff costs, the three pillars of profitability.

The Takeaway

Their definition of “human touch” isn’t about sending friendly emails, it’s about having the headspace to plan, invest, and grow.

Every workflow you automate gives you more time to focus on revenue, not routine.

The Fear Edge

While most landlords are still buried in spreadsheets, Lette’s AI is quietly learning what efficient management looks like across thousands of units.

That means their system gets smarter every day while manual managers fall further behind.

Automation isn’t coming. It’s already competing.

The question isn’t if you’ll use it, it’s how long you can afford not to.

Latest AI Developments in Property Management

The Technology Is Moving Fast. Are You?

While you were clearing your inbox, the biggest names in real estate were pouring millions into AI to make human admin obsolete.

Here’s the global digest of what broke this week (October 17 – October 24, 2025).

🇺🇸 Americas — AI Turns Data into Deals

• Boom (US) raised $12.7 M for an AI-driven vacation-rental PMS focused on dynamic pricing and guest retention ([TechCrunch, 2025]).

• Blackstone’s Livly launched a renewal optimizer claiming 22 % higher tenant retention rates ([Livly PR, 2025]).

  Implication: Rent optimization is no longer a spreadsheet exercise; it’s a machine game.

🇪🇺 Europe — Automation Arms Race

• Arbio (Berlin) secured $36 M Series A to build an AI-native OS for short-term rentals ([Vestbee, 2025]).

• Lette AI (Dublin) entered beta with first UK clients integrating Zapier and Buildium bridges.

  Implication: Automation has crossed from the continent to your back office.

🌏 APAC & Oceania — Cloud or Collapse

• Super Property Pro (Hong Kong) mandated full cloud migration for agents nationwide ([Media Outreach, 2025]).

• PropHero (Australia) announced AI-driven portfolio analytics after $25 M raise ([The Australian, 2025]).

  Implication: Cloud first is now a compliance standard, not a preference.

🌍 Africa — Trust Tech Takes Center Stage

• Yakeey (Morocco) received $7 M from IFC (World Bank Group) to build market-transparency layers ([LaunchBase Africa, 2025]).

  Implication: Emerging markets are building digital trust before digital luxury.

Top PropTech Funding Rounds (This Week)

Mini-Tutorial: Your First AI-Powered Property Management Workflow

Last week, I said we’d show exactly how to connect the tools behind the “Solo Landlord Stack.”

Here it is, a quick walkthrough to help you build your own AI-powered workflow in under 30 minutes.

No code, no consultants: just Reonomy + Lette AI + Zapier + Google Sheets working together to automate renewals, tenant comms, and reporting.

Goal:

Automate lease and tenant updates → sync to a single dashboard → notify your team in real time.

Tools You’ll Need

• Reonomy – property & lease intelligence

• Lette AI – leasing, tenant & maintenance automation

• Zapier – glue that connects them

• Google Sheets (or Airtable) – dashboard layer

• Slack / Email – notification output

Step-by-Step Setup (≈ 30 minutes)

1. Connect Reonomy to Zapier

• In Reonomy, create a saved search for leases expiring in < 6 months or properties with ownership change.

• In Zapier, set Trigger: “New Record in Reonomy.”

• Zapier now pulls these flagged assets automatically.

2. Send Data to Google Sheets

• Action: “Create Spreadsheet Row.”

• Map key fields: property address, owner name, lease expiry date, rent per sq ft.

• This becomes your live portfolio tracker, updated every time Reonomy finds a match.

3. Alert Lette AI for Renewal Outreach

• Add another Action: “Send Webhook → Lette AI.”

• Pass the tenant’s details from the sheet.

• Inside Lette AI, create an automation to:

  • Draft & send a renewal message.

  • Follow up 3 days later if unread.

  • Update status once the tenant replies.

4. Notify Your Team

• Add a final step: “Send Slack Message” (or Email).

• Example: “🏢 Lease expiring: 123 High Street — Renewal email sent via Lette AI.”

• Include a link to the Google Sheet record for quick review.

5. Track & Optimise

• After one week, check which renewals closed faster or required fewer follow-ups.

• Adjust Lette AI’s message templates or timing inside its automation settings.

Expected Results

• 100 % coverage on upcoming renewals, no forgotten leases.

• ~15 hours/week saved on manual email chains.

• Team visibility: everyone sees tasks in Slack or the dashboard.

• Clean historical data for audits or refinancing.

Pro Tip

Add one more Zap: when a tenant raises a maintenance issue in Lette AI, send it to a “Maintenance Requests” sheet and auto-assign a vendor through your CRM or Fixflo.

Now you’ve automated the entire reactive cycle: inquiry → renewal → repair → closure.

Your competitor’s stack is no longer Excel + WhatsApp + stress at midnight.

It’s an AI-layer pulling data, routing work, automating renewals and spotting under-market leases while you rest.

Action step: Choose one area you manually handle this week (tenant inbox? lease renewals? vendor coordination?). Plug in automation now, before a competitor smokes you out.

Next week: I’ll break down the “Commercial Automation Starter Stack” (Reonomy + Zapier + your vendor system) with exact prompts & workflow.

💡 Forward this to the landlord still manually chasing rent, it might save their sanity (or your edge).
