Peter Lohmann warns that AI-native entrepreneurs in their twenties will shrink property management staffing dramatically. Young operators using AI and specialized software can manage 1,000 doors with just two people, while traditional firms with high labor costs will struggle to compete.
The other attack vector is going to be the 25-year-olds who are growing up in an AI-native world and are able to build and scale a property management company with an insanely lean staff. There's some people in our industry who are our age who, who have incredibly high DLERs, like run very lean, and it's going to make those guys look like the most bloated management company you've ever seen. I'm talking 1,000 doors with 2 people level of efficiency by taking advantage of AI, vibe-coded software, and everything else.
