Pairing AI With Inbound Marketing
Jun 26, 2025
Podcast
Kevin Brener didn’t scale with a huge team or a massive cold-calling operation. Instead, he built businesses that leaned on automation, inbound systems, and fast follow-up—eventually leading to the launch of a tech company helping investors do the same with AI.
In this episode, Kevin shares how he went from active duty in the Air Force to buying his first quadplex with a VA loan, scaling into short-term rentals and private equity, and now running PropertyBots, a platform that helps real estate professionals cut lead response time down to seconds.
He breaks down the inbound strategies top investors are using, why most leads are lost in follow-up, and how AI can step in before your team even wakes up.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Why cold calling is losing ground to inbound
Google Ads, SEO, and streaming TV as lead machines
How fast follow-up can boost conversions by 391%
Using AI to qualify leads and book appointments
Lessons from building systems that scale without more staff
