Insurance companies may be becoming the real gatekeepers of real estate.

In this episode with Fred Glick of Arrivva, we uncover how AI-driven inspection analysis, stricter insurance underwriting, and rising policy cancellations are quietly reshaping what it takes to close a deal. From unpermitted work and roof risks to fire exposure and denied coverage, more homes are getting flagged before escrow even closes.

We also dig into unconventional deals, crypto and startup-stock purchases, and unusual San Francisco property plays that could hint at where real estate is headed next.
