The level of technical infrastructure, logistical expertise, and management of a deployed workforce in markets around the country, makes the story of what Opendoor is and could potentially achieve all the more compelling. \r\n\r\nI've been vocal about how Opendoor was the company that inspired me to pursue proptech in the past, I've invested in Opendoor, and personally believe this is one of the companies that may have a genuine chance at building a sustainable, innovative business in real estate on a large scale. \r\n\r\nIn this interview, we discuss the iBuyer business, power-buying, and some future plans of Opendoor. Ian is incredibly thoughtful and brings a lot more to this discussion than simply just doing Q&A. It's a solid listen!","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kGkK30rhvs4APH63UFopdx0c7QnsNqClGiDNZhw8QkA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzExOC8xNjk2NjIy/NTIwLWFydHdvcmsu/anBn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
